In a class I took about writing for TV, an ongoing exercise we had was to write down things we would hear people say--"stolen" bits of dialogue. I thought this would be a neato idea for a thread, so just post any funny/interesting/well versed/crazy/adorable/interesting/whacko/etc. things you hear people around you say.

I'll go first I spose:

"I am going to try and convert all of you to every single religion known in the middle-east...except Islam" -my eastern civ teacher

this is what making movies is for damnit!


"Look at that over there, that camper across the street with the eagle..concentrate..concentrate...now just focus on the song playing, not the eagle!"

"At first we had fangs, but now we use our brains."

My sociology teacher said this in a thick Iranian Accent.

"Its like, you know, and then he said, like, um, your stupid, and um, you know . . ." - every girl at the mall
