I wish there was a knob on the TV to turn up the intelligence.  There's a
knob called "brightness", but it doesn't seem to work.
                -- Gallagher

I'd just as soon kiss a Wookie.
                -- Princess Leia Organa

I'll be Grateful when they're Dead.

I'll never get off this planet.
                -- Luke Skywalker

I'm a Hollywood writer; so I put on a sports jacket and take off my brain.

I'm not a real movie star -- I've still got the same wife I started out
with twenty-eight years ago.
                -- Will Rogers

I've got a very bad feeling about this.
                -- Han Solo

  I. Any body suspended in space will remain in space until made aware of
     its situation.
        Daffy Duck steps off a cliff, expecting further pastureland.  He
        loiters in midair, soliloquizing flippantly, until he chances to
        look down.  At this point, the familiar principle of 32 feet per
        second per second takes over.
 II. Any body in motion will tend to remain in motion until solid matter
     intervenes suddenly.
        Whether shot from a cannon or in hot pursuit on foot, cartoon
        characters are so absolute in their momentum that only a telephone
        pole or an outsize boulder retards their forward motion absolutely.
        Sir Isaac Newton called this sudden termination of motion the
        stooge's surcease.
III. Any body passing through solid matter will leave a perforation
     conforming to its perimeter.
        Also called the silhouette of passage, this phenomenon is the
        speciality of victims of directed-pressure explosions and of reckless
        cowards who are so eager to escape that they exit directly through
        the wall of a house, leaving a cookie-cutout-perfect hole.  The
        threat of skunks or matrimony often catalyzes this reaction.
                -- Esquire, "O'Donnell's Laws of Cartoon Motion", June 1980

If *I* had a hammer, there'd be no more folk singers.

If all the world's a stage, I want to operate the trap door.
                -- Paul Beatty
