God, where to start. Buffy, Veronica Mars and the Gilmore Girls have all provided me with countless phrases I try to use in real life. Bu thte king would be Aaron Sorkin.

Sports Night had the single best meta line ever, in the final episode, when a rich guy buys the network and Dana is afraid Sports Night will be canceled. He says he's keeping it on the air: "It's a good show, Dana, Anyone who can't make money off Sports Night should get out of the money-making business."

And then there's The West Wing. You have Jed Bartlet's speech to God (with parts in Latin!), and Leo's confessions about alcoholism, but the best is Toby's speech when he talks to his new twins. It begins with "I didn't realize babys come with hats" and it's beautiful.

But the single best comes again from Sports Night. And Dana says it to Gordon in the first season finale:

"This is a cheap excuse to get out of marrying me, which you never wanted to do in the third place, and the only reason you proposed, in the second place, was out of guilt for having slept with Sally in the first place."

Imagine meeting a person who actually spoke like that.

Supernatural S2- Folsom Prision Blues

When Sam asks Dean how sure he is the plan will work (cause they're in jail and wanted for murders they didn't commit)
Dean: Pretty sure.
Sam:Given the circumstances I think I'd liek something more than pretty sure.
Dean: alright- really pretty sure.

Then Sam goes and says it right back on Dean when they are causing a distraction to salt-and-burn a matress.

Really anything SPN is my favorite. All the B****-Jerk moments and the SOB-ing.
Awesomeness.

I don't know if this has been written yet, but as we are on the subjedt of Supernatural:

I think it was the latest ep of S3, when that FBI agent was posessed by a demon and shot the Sheriff. The first words he said once the demon had been exorcised were "I shot the Sheriff". Dean answered, like only Dean can: "But you didn't shoot the Deputy". It was so hilarious.

Oh, I just thought of another! "Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!" Anyone know where it's from?

From the Life Of Brian, when asked "Who's Brian?" when they were all up on their crosses, and they all began saying they all were, and the Samaritan says, "I'm Brian, and so's my wife!"

Pilot ep of Firefly, spoken by Wash, of course.
"We will rule over all this land, and we will call it...this land."

I could go on for hours, quoting Firefly.
What about: "You're my kind of stupid"

or, one of my absolute faves: "If I ever kill you, you'll be awake. You'll be facing me. And you'll be armed."
or: "And I'm thinkin' you weren't burdened with an overabundance of schooling. So why don't we just ignore each other, til we go away?"

Ok, I will stop now, I got other things to do ...

Another Firefly quote I always like is from Kaylee when they help protect the brothel: "Look, they got boy whores!"

Simultainiously "Sam Winchester cries his way through sex, Sam winchester keeps a ruler by the bed and every morning when he ..."

I'm rewatching episodes of "Lost" and there are quite some lines that crack me up there... Especially Hurley has some great ones!

But this one I will remember for the rest of my life:

(After a guy named Arzt brutally exploded in the literally sense of the word...)
Hurley: "Dude, you've got some...Arzt...on you."

Really, I nearly fell of the couch laughing...
