    "Drowned Quiquegs coffin was my lifebuoy.  For eight long days and nights it sustained me on that soft and dirge-like main.  Then a sail appeared.  It was the Rachel; the Rachel who in her long, melancholy search for her missing children found... another orphan.  The drama is done; all are departed away.  The great shroud of the sea rolls over the Pequod, her crew, and Moby Dick.  I only am escaped, to tell thee."

    From the screenplay, Moby Dick, by Ray Bradbury.  Adapted from Melville's book by the same name. This post was edited by CallMeIshmael at December 14, 2016 3:35 PM MST

  • It's always difficult to choose. Two of my favorites that have stuck with me are:

    "I'm not afraid to fight; I'm just naturally lazy" - Lt. Colonel John Sheppard, Stargate Atlantis

    "Everybody lies" - Dr. Greg House, House M.D. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at December 14, 2016 3:36 PM MST

  • Love it. I've quoted it a few times but usually use the next quote in the scene: "I'll have what she's having."
