Day 24 - Best quote

THE REST OF MY LIFE


It was really hard choosing a quote for this, because there are many really good ones, I though of Press Gang first though, because the dialouge is always fantastic and witty, and then I thought of the episode 'The Rest of My Life', because it was perhaps my favourite episode ever. There were a few quotes that really stood out for me, but the one (which is more of a scene, really :P) that I eventually chose was...

Lynda: Make it good. Give it some zap.
Sam: Some zap?! Am I getting this right? You want me to liven up an explosion?!
Lynda: I want you to give me the best work you’ve done Sam, and make it stick. This is our big chance to show what we can do!
Sam: Well that’s a new angle!
Lynda: What?
Sam: Gas leak, bomb or career opportunity. Lynda, there are people in that building!
Lynda: I know!
Sam: Do you? We’re talking about the dead and dying here, Lynda, and I’m supposed to put in ‘some zap’! How about I just do the obituary column in colour?

This really established the characters of Lynda and Sam. Lynda, the editor who will let nothing, not even tragedy, stand in her way of being the best she can, and Sam, whom one might see as a brainless bimbo, was a compassionate person who stood up for what she believed was morally right.

PRESS GANG: The Rest of My Life

Spike: Laughter is the secret of life. Laugh and the world... throws record shops at you.

***

Spike: How long can you keep listening?
Mary: The rest of my life.

***

Spike: It's a pity you're late guys, you missed one hell of a nice girl.

PRESS GANG: The Big Finish?

Kenny: Thanks.
Lynda: For what?
Kenny: I don't know. Everything.
Lynda: I'm not responsible for everything. I just make it look that way.

DOCTOR WHO: Planet of Fire

The Master: I am the Master!
Peri: So what? I'm Perpugilliam Brown, and I can shout just as loud as you can!

SKINS: Everyone

Tony: [about Cassie] She's thin, she's blonde, she says 'WOW' a lot.

Aw, I nearly included that Kenny and Lynda quote in my post. Nice choices! :-)

[haa-hsm-fan.livejournal.com]

It's my favourite Kenny/Lynda quote. It sums up their characters so much.

Thanks. I haven't commented on yours, but your choices were great, especially One's speech to Susan in The Dalek Invasion of Earth.

Aw, thanks. Yes, it is a great speech, isn't it?

[haa-hsm-fan.livejournal.com]

It's perhaps the best goodbye speech any Doctor's given to a companion.
