I, as prime minister, never went to Washington. Certainly never went to a presidential ranch. I hate to say this, but I wasn't going to be the pilot fish to the shark, whereas Australia quite happily bobbed along like a happy little pilot fish with a...
Karen: The trouble with being the Prime Minister's sister is, it does put your life into rather harsh perspective. What did my brother do today? He stood up and fought for his country. And what did I do? I made a papier maché lobster head.
John: So, what do you reckon to our new Prime Minister, then? Judy: Oh, I like him. I can't understand why he's not married, though. John: Well, you know the type. He's, uh, married to his job. Either that, or gay as a picnic basket.

What I want to do is tell stories about normal people in the American suburbs. I don't write the book where it's a conspiracy reaching the prime minister; I don't write the book with the big serial killer who lops off heads. My setting is a very plac...
Rocky: What about my prime, Mick? At least you had a prime! I had no prime, I had nothin'!

[outtake] Spock Prime: ...he will not hesitate to kill every single one of you. Spock: Did you defeat him? Spock Prime: At great cost, yes. Spock: How? Spock Prime: We took a hammer...

Spock Prime: James T. Kirk! James T. Kirk: Excuse me? Spock Prime: How did you find me? James T. Kirk: Whoa... how do you know my name? Spock Prime: I have been and always shall be your friend. James T. Kirk: Wha... [shakes head] James T. Kirk: Uh......
