I use "Against our will, Papa! Against our will!" all. the. time.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I can't think of a G&S one right now, but the Theater Line I Use All. The. Time is "[We] know what's up, and who will soon go down" from Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet). It was the first play I'd ever done. Also the first I ever auditioned for.
There was a hilarious time when a friend of mine and I burst into "Appear! Appear! Appear!" at the same time, though.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)
Eeee! I did that show! So much (weird) fun and such brutal hard work.

Eeee! I did that show!
Ooh! In what capacity? I was Professor Night/Othello/Tybalt. It was my first acting role, so I probably wasn't all that good. The Thresher reviewer described my Othello as "purposefully (I hope) flat." But I did get to say "titmouse" on stage (well, on the floor...we didn't have a stage so much as...a floor...with curtains).

My capacity was... uhm... I'm full of cold meds and cotton-brained at the moment, but the thesis-doing chick, the one what talks a lot. In my present cottony state I can't remember her name or call up a single line from the play, but I do recall that sometimes she talked for pages at a time. How the hell did I do that?
It's the cold. It's got to be the cold. I don't want to have to contemplate being old and feeble and past my prime at 36.

Constance. The bloody STAR! Dude, very nice.

Yes, yes she does. And often in iambic pentameter. "Perhaps some heartless student spiked my beer."

I don't remember that line. Unless it's from something else.

I wish I'd had my iMac at the time; I'd've done soundtrack CDs for everyone in the show. All of us got together and tossed at the director every song we could think of with a Good night, Good morning or Shakespeare reference, and she picked her favorites. Purty stuff.
