taken out of context.. "Are you saying that coconuts are migratory?" * Spamalot

"We searched Broadway on and off, for singers with a cough, we had tryouts and auditions by the score, and to trip the light fantastic we picked dancers who were spastic! If anyone jeted we jeted them out the door!" * The Producers (lyrics, but still funny-ish)


And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps... What did she realize, Kitten? That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs. What's wrong with that? Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had... Where? On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

"Pooky... it's no big deal! This happens to everyone. Men I mean. We're Lucky. Women I mean. We can fake it if we have to. Oh, not with you. Oh, I never have with you. With you it's like pow, pow, pow! Like the Fourth of July everytime Pooky! and if there's one thing I know for sure you can't let it get you, you should excuse the expression, down. You can't worry about it. You gotta put it out of your mind. The more you think about it the more you worry. The more you worry the more you think about it (yuck cherrie!). Think, worry. Worry, think. It becomes like this vicious cycle. And before you know it, you are impotent" - Norma Cassidy VICTOR/VICTORIA
