I've had such fun doing everyone else's that I thought it was about time to do my own. So here it is. Usual drill - name the show and the speaker(s).

1. We're having a friend for dinner. What goes well with rat? Red or white?

2. I'm gonna need a saw and a bag.

3. Good cop and bad cop have left for the day. I'm a different kind of cop. antigone_ks

4. A. Litchfield! I told you it began with L!
B. And if I know [censored] it'll end in 'ell, too.

5. No! [censored]! You can't possibly repel something that big. freespirit127

6. I have just one thing to say to you: MacBeth! donna_k

7. Is there anyone in Rome who hasn't slept with my daughter? aspartaimee

8. That might be the most important thing to understand about Humans. It's the unknown that defines our existence. We are constantly searching, not just for answers to our questions, but for new questions. germankitty

9. The claim 'I was only following orders' has been used to justify too many tragedies in our history. auntie_pat

10. A. So it's either this or you can run buck naked.
B. Well, thank you.

Have at!

Is 6. Blackadder the Third and Blackadder?

[athersgeo.livejournal.com]

Indeed it is :)

[euphrosyna]

Darn, that was the only one I knew!!

Although I think maybe I know #1... *will have to think*

[donna-k.livejournal.com]

I was so excited when I saw I actually had a chance to get the only one I knew! :)

And 1 is really very familiar to me too, but I can't place it.

[euphrosyna]

I think Baldrick says something very similar in Blackadder Goes Forth, but I wouldn't swear that that's it...

[athersgeo.livejournal.com]

It's not Blackadder - although you're right, Baldrick does have a line (or six) about eating rats.

[athersgeo.livejournal.com]

*grins* I have to admit, there's usually only one or two that I recognise on most people's lists, so I know the feeling.

As for #1... Mwaha *evilgrin*

[athersgeo.livejournal.com]

Mwaha *evil grin*

[arky72.livejournal.com]

I have no idea, but Andy thinks 8 might be Star Trek.

[athersgeo.livejournal.com]

Andy's part right; it's from the Trek universe :)

[arky72.livejournal.com]

Captain Picard from Star Trek enterprise?

(Can I just add at this point I have no idea what on earth he means!!!)

[athersgeo.livejournal.com]

*giggles* Well, it's not Picard and it's not Enterprise...but there IS a Picard quote somewhere else on the list :)

[arky72.livejournal.com]

No idea!

(am leaving andy to his ironing!)

[athersgeo.livejournal.com]

Fair enough :)

[auntie-pat.livejournal.com]

Is the picard quote no. 9?

[athersgeo.livejournal.com]

It is indeed :)

[germankitty]

8. I'm guessing either Kirk or Sisko -- ST:TOS/DS 9 respectively. :)

And dammit, I KNOW 1,2 and 3, but can't for the life of me remember where it belongs. Hmm ... 3 = Gibbs in NCIS?

[athersgeo.livejournal.com]

8 is Sisko from DS9 :)

3 is...definitely NOT Gibbs from NCIS *grin*

[germankitty]

Okay, at least I got one right. :)

How'm I doing with NCIS, though?

[athersgeo.livejournal.com]

Completely wrong :) - I've literally only seen about three episodes of NCIS, and while it's entertaining enough, it's a little bit too forensic for my tastes. I prefer things with a little more action :)

[germankitty]

Oh, okay. :)

Damn, I KNOW I've seen that show/episode ... Torchwood? Captain Jack?

[athersgeo.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Nope. Not Torchwood.

[germankitty]

*sigh* I give up, then ...

[athersgeo.livejournal.com]

*grins* Mwaha :)

Providing no-one gets it, I'll post the answers up on Tuesday.

[germankitty]

Okay ...

Meanie.

[athersgeo.livejournal.com]

Now, if I was *REALLY* mean, would I point out that someone's now got it, so the answer's revealed a little further down thread?...;)

[germankitty]

Hmph. :)

"The Shield"? I've never, EVER watched a single episode of that; the only reason I can know it is if it was in an oft-repeated trailer. Hmm.

[athersgeo.livejournal.com]

*grins*

I don't know if that particular line was in a trailer or not as I've never seen trailers for it - I've just heard very good things about the series and enjoy The Unit (which is made by the same folks - or some of them!), so I thought I'd give it a try :) (And it is good, btw!)

[germankitty]

I watch NCIS and some other shows on FX, so that's probably where I've caught trailers. Both shows are a bit too violent for my taste, so I never bothered to check them out further. But I'm 98% sure I've heard the quote, so a trailer is the only explanation that makes sense. :)

(Besides, my guys would kill me if I started watching yet another series; I'm hogging the SKY box almost every night as it is! *grins*)

7. I, Claudius.

yay, brian blessed! his delivery of everything is kickass.

[athersgeo.livejournal.com]

I should ask you which character said it - but as you've got the actor instead, that'll do :)

[antigone-ks.livejournal.com]

3. the Shield

[athersgeo.livejournal.com]

Said by...? ;)

[antigone-ks.livejournal.com]

Vic Mackey!

[athersgeo.livejournal.com]

Yup *grin*

I'm now wondering how many people are going to kick themselves... *grin*

[freespirit127.livejournal.com]

#5 MASK, said by Alex

[athersgeo.livejournal.com]

Correct :)

(But you knew that ;))

[freespirit127.livejournal.com]

I had to, otherwise i'd have to return my fan license ;)

[athersgeo.livejournal.com]

Or you'd at least have to go back and rewatch Magma Mole a few times *grin*
