"They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats."

And half at one another's throats."

"There is a chain that's never broken
You know the story, it's sad but true:
An angry man gets drunk and beats his kids
The same old way his drunken father did
What comes around, well, it goes around!
Nothing changes 'cause it's all the same
The world you get's the one you give away
It all just happens again, way down the line!"

[Captain Harlock]'s a true individualist, serving no god or government, only the cries of the oppressed. He is truly a worthy successor to the Nemo bloodline.

"Yes. Hiram Gummer. ...The main problem of this film is that it operates on the logic that everyone has an identical ancestor with a similar vocation."

watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III"I did not expect Jor-El to basically be James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause. I am insanely disappointed this episode did not end with Jor-El and Lachlan Luthor engaging in a Kryptonite knife fight."

(636): i don't think my dad can get all that mad since he got arrested for almost exactly the same thing last weekend
(765): I went out in the middle of the night to smoke my weed.. Didn't realize my dad was sitting on the patio doing the exact same thing..
(570): the best part is my dad got arrested for the same thing at the same bar 30 years ago... so he cant be mad
(603): I was going through my mom's high school yearbook...almost half the people who signed it referred to her as "Karen Smokejoints", "Confused Karen", or drew a picture of a joint. I have never felt more like her daughter.
(270): My mom's 50 year old alcoholic friend just told me about how she was more whoreish then us at our age. Challenge accepted.

So many of the badgers displayed the characteristics of those who had perished in the journey.
Dr Tanuma: [to Shirogane] When I was your age, I was playing around with tons of girls without a care in the world.
Nurse: And that's why you had a kid at 17.
Dr Tanuma: That's beside the point. And then my son had a shotgun wedding at 17. I couldn't get mad at him even if I wanted.
Shirogane: It must be genetic...
Dr Tanuma: My grandson is 17 this year too. I'm filled with a sense of impending doom.
Shirogane: Why are we talking about this again...?
[cut to...]
Tsubasa: I'm looking forward to Christmas!
Kashiwagi: We'll have a suite all to ourselves.

Rodrigue: Well, Felix? I trust you've been keeping a watchful eye on him?
Dimitri: I'm afraid there's no watching out for my recklessness.
Felix: Now you admit it! We need you in one piece...
Rodrigue (in his thoughts): See that, Lambert? Just like when we were their age.

Zelda: Link, our very first queen, my great-grandmother, the Tetra herself, wrote those laws. Do you really think someone like her was going to limit her future daughters' freedom?
Link: Ok, but Tetra didn't marry just anybody. She married the Hero of the Winds! Compared to that, I'm…! I'm…!
Zelda: The exact same person?
Link: [indignant splutter.] W-what?! No! He's… He was… I'm not…!
Zelda: Alright, well then let’s compare. [begins ticking off her fingers.] You… come from a quiet little village, met the future ruler of Hyrule, went on a grand adventure, got a magic sword and a unique mode of transportation, scoured through forgotten temples, fought off legions of monsters, and together with the princess destroyed an ancient evil and saved the world. Sounds like the same person to me. Gods, you even kind of look like my great-grandfather, at least in the old paintings we have. It's a little creepy, now that I think about it.
