Help me in my present urgent petition. In return, I promise to make your name known and cause you to be invoked."

editSome of the best pep talk lines I've heard so far..
Charlton Heston National Rifle Association "You can take my rifle.... when you pry it from my cold dead hands! "
Dirty Harry. "Ah Ah, I know what you're thinking. 'Did he fire six shots or only five?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I've kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk!?"
Transformers the Movie.
Optimus Prime: One shall stand, one shall fall.
Megatron: Why throw away your life so recklessly?
Optimus Prime: That's a question you should ask yourself , Megatron.
Megatron: I would have waited an eternity for this. It's over, Prime.

A nunu.. is now a no no.
"I catch me Strutting."
Flo Hyman "I had to learn to be honest with myself. I had to recognize my pain threshold. When I hit the floor, I have to realize it's not as if I broke a bone. Pushing yourself over the barrier is a habit. I know I can do it and try something else crazy. If you want to win the war, you've got to pay the price."
Highlander: The Series Duncan MacLeod "In the end, there can be only one."
Iceman, "You two really are cowboys."
Maverick, "What's your problem, Kazanski?" Iceman, " You're everyone's problem. That's because every time you go up in the air, you're unsafe. I don't like you because you're dangerous."
Maverick, "That's right! Ice... man. I am dangerous."
Stinger: Maverick, you just did an incredibly brave thing. What you should have done was land your plane! you don't own that plane, the tax payers do! Son, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash. You've been busted, you lost your qualifications as section leader three times, put in hack twice by me, with a history of high speed passes over five air control towers, and one admiral's daughter!
Goose: Penny Benjamin?
Stinger: And you a-------, you're lucky to be here!
Goose: Thank you, sir.
Stinger: And let's not b------- Maverick. Your family name ain't the best in the Navy. You need to be doing it better, and cleaner than the other guy. Now what is it with you?
Maverick: Just want to serve my country, be the best pilot in the Navy, sir.
Stinger: Don't s----- around with me Maverick. You're a hell of an instinctive pilot. Maybe too good. I'd like to bust your b-tt but I can't. I got another problem here. I gotta send somebody from this squadron to Miramar. I gotta do something here, I still can believe it. I gotta give you your dream shot! I'm gonna send you up against the best. You two characters are going to Top Gun.
Chapman: "Begging the General's pardon, I urge you to reevaluate that decision. Letting this boy loose, would be a big mistake. He already has demonstrated his inability to keep his big mouth shut. I would suggest sending him to an instituion, that can order him to keep that big mouth shut."
General: "Are you saying, we should confine this boy to some kind of penal facility?
Chapman: "As a matter of speaking yes sir, you see sir,.. Mr. Masters has applied to the Air Force Academy an institution well-suited for this kind of treatment, eh, unfortunately his application has some.. resistance. I was wondering if you could eh.."
"General, a machine becomes human... ...when you can't tell the difference anymore."

From User talk:Jimbo Wales I wonder if you might consider...
I wonder if you might consider simply removing your political/religious/etc. userboxes and asking others to do the same. This seems to me to be the best way to quickly and easily end the userbox wars.
Userboxes of a political or, more broadly, polemical, nature are bad for the project. They are attractive to the wrong kinds of people, and they give visitors the wrong idea of what it means to be a Wikipedian.
I think rather than us having to go through a mass deletion (which is what is likely to happen if the userbox fad doesn't go away), it will be better to simply change the culture, one person at a time. Will you help me?--Jimbo Wales 10:53, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
