Betsy [re: the happy ending in the movie version of Our Town]: It's like having Evelyn pop back up alive at the end of *Chinatown*. "It was only a flesh wound!"
Ken Buddha: Of course Polanski changed the original end of the screenplay to make it more nihilistic.
Betsy: Yeah, but Polanski was right.

I believe you, Scrappy, on an intellectual level...
But if Charlotte hadn't died I don't know if I'd have become a vegetarian each time I finished Charlotte's Web.
Betsy HP - You can come back to the carnivore side, Trudy. McDonalds has stopped serving Spider McNuggets in response to widespread protest.

Babies basically are just little emissaries of all the bodily fluids. It makes one wonder why there aren't more baby clothes made of vinyl.

There was no coffee on my monitor from this one, but it induced a big gasp for air, and thus I thought it COMM worthy.
Daniel C. Jensen in Press:
Tonight is likely the last Buffy on UPN in the United States.
Chosen will be shown.
Next week UPN will be showing "UPN's Funky Flubs" in the timeslot.
Be very afraid.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Matt the Bruins Fan:
There has to be some point at which guilt by association tapers off—otherwise every person in the world who works in the food industry has served a murderer, rapist, or record company executive at some point and therefore deserves to die.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Madrigal, in Natter (context? There was this whole capybara thing... don't ask):
Egad. Anyone ever asks me what the leading cause of alcoholism among capybaras is, I'm gonna say it's you guys.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Noumenon: Wouldn't Angelus make a great prosecutor? He'd just take the witnesses apart with sarcasm. And intimidate the jury, no problem.
Victor Infante: Of course, he'd eat the jury. And the judge. No, he'd torture the judge, and make the jury watch. And then kill 'em.
On the other hand, he's probably already a candidate for governor.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Context? Whatever for?

In Buffy 4: Grr. Arrgh.
-t after watching the final UPN broadcast of BtVS:
Sigh. Watched Chosen last night.
I've been getting all nostalgic, remembering the beginning. For me, it was the movie. Actually, an ad for the movie. Pike and Buffy are dancing, and he says "You aren't like other girls," and she answers "Yes, I am." It's a sad, poignant moment, and it got me. I watched the movie. I got excited when I found out about the series, especially, since it was going to star Kendall from All My Children. I faithfully taped my snowy broadcasts out of Sacramento - watching the first season on DVD was quite a revelation of detail for me. I made my boyfriend watch, until he started insisting on it himself. I bought two VCR's so I didn't have to choose between Buffy and my other TV addictions. I named my feral porch cat Patches. I screamed when the Breeders played the theme song to open their show. I eventually found the Buffistas, where I am like other girls.
And now it's all history. The text is complete. I'm back at the sad moment, dancing in the dark. But Buffy left me with a smile. What are we going to do now?
