Since I've been babbling on about Farscape so much here, I thought I'd share some of my favorite quotes from the show. Or at least, some of the more amusing ones. (Angsty/dramatic quotes, after all, aren't nearly that entertaining out of context.)

Here ya go:

From "Infinite Possibilities, Pt 1.:

[Stark has been appointed to guide the temporarily blinded Crais.]
STARK: "Let me be your eye!"

OK, it's mostly his delivery. And it probably isn't all that funny unless you know what Stark looks like. But that line cracks me up every time I think about it.

I love Stark's idea of a damage report from that same episode, too:

STARK: "Damage! Damage! Damage!"

Actually, that whole exchange between him and Crais is worth quoting:

STARK: "Damage, damage, damage!"
CRAIS: "Whatever would I do without your verbal gifts?"
STARK: "Oh, you want more words? Well, the conduits are damaged, bulkheads damaged, external sensors damaged too! There is nothing that is not damaged."
CRAIS: "Least of all, you!"
STARK: "I can see!"

(Those two make such a fun team...)

But the award for Best Deadpan Delivery has to go to this line from Part 2:

ALIEN: "My name is [long string of incomprehensible alien syllables]. But you can call me Jack."

The only other episode I can think of that's nearly as rich in great quotes is "Crackers Don't Matter." E.g.:

CRICHTON: "I hate it when villains quote Shakespeare."

And:

[A figment of Crichton's imagination (uh, sort of) is urging him to kill his shipmates]
"HARVEY": "Go on, John, do it. Then we can go to the beach! I know a place with naked Sebacean girls and margarita shooters."

[Zhaan is coating John's skin with some protective goo.]
CRICHTON: "What the hell is this?"
ZHAAN: "Heat-deflecting paste. You'll burn up in there without it."
CRICHTON: "Smells like puke."
ZHAAN: "I pre-digested it to increase its potency."
CRICHTON: "It's puke?!"

And probably the most memorable line from that ep.:

CRICHTON: "Humans are superior!"

Though that one's not remotely as funny without the visual.

Then there's these other classic Crichton quotes:

From the Premier:

CRICHTON: "Boy, was Spielberg ever wrong. Close encounters, my ass."

And from "Meltdown:

CRICHTON: "God-like aliens. Man, do I hate god-like aliens. I'll trade a critter for a god-like alien any day."

I could go on... Heck, maybe I will. Later. For the moment, though, lest Farscape draw too much of a claim on my fannish attention, I'll also add some of my favorite Blake's 7 quotes:

AVON: "I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going!"

From "Horizon." Probably Avon's most famous line, that. (Well, no actually, I guess it'd likely be his second most famous line. His most famous one would probably be from the final episode. If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about. And if you haven't, I'm certainly not gonna spoil it for you.)

AVON: "Staying with you requires a degree of stupidity of which I no longer feel capable."
BLAKE: "No, you're just being modest."

From "Breakdown." Winner of the All-Time Best Putdown award!

AVON: "It could be a trap."
GAN: "It's not a very good one, then. We're suspicious of it already."
AVON: "The test is not whether you are suspicious, but whether you are caught."

From "Bounty." This has become my roleplaying motto!

Oh, and I can harly fail to mention the second prize for All-Time Best Putdown:

[Zen the computer is being uncooperative with Avon]
JENNA: "I don't think he likes you, somehow."
AVON: "I think I may have to reprogram this machine."
JENNA: "That still won't make you likable."

Or the host of lovely lines from "Shadow":

[Avon is refusing to part with some gemstones unless guest character Largo offers him what he really wants in trade.]
AVON: "They have a sentimental value for me."
LARGO: "Oh, family heirlooms, eh?"
AVON: "No, I'm just sentimental about money."

Or:

AVON: "Moon discs. Prized by collectors."
BLAKE: "People collect odd things."
JENNA: "Look what you ended up with." [i.e., the gang of misfits that comprise the rest of his crew!]

And, just because I haven't quoted the extremely quotable Vila:

From "Children of Auron":

VILA: "The Himalayas are quite tall at this time of the year."

All right. I'l l stop now.
