Shmeep and Rducasey, I'd give you both karma but I'm out thanks to Elduck.

Shmeep, yours rule! Much more fun than the actual dialogue methinks.

And Rducasey, wonderful creative job with Hank's thoughts!!!

You can always do one in an hour and then one an hour after that. ;D

Good point. Have done one, will try to remember to do the other!

OK I'll try Dance With Me, and Hank


2) What do you mean "Are you black?". I'm colorblind Jim and I knew he was black.
3) "Hey there's Artie. Did you come to return the harness you stole, huh. I hope so, cause this new one chafes."
4)"God, Pete, what do you have under those cushions? A Big Mac?"
5)"Hey I have a police/fireman thing too. I hate Dalmations."

Bah ha ha ha! Loooove it I owe you a karma... and a Big Mac...

Here we go. My take on “Up on the Roof,” which is a given.

Let’s see. Fifteen lines or less, right, Shmeep? And this one’s a toughie, since every line is golden . . . at least to me.

Diner Dream Jim: What’re you doin’, Terry — is it okay to go out there?
Fisk: Uh, Dunbar, one of the detectives is your old partner, Terry Jansen. Will there be a conflict or anything for you?
Marty: Why the bad blood? If you don’t mind me askin'.
Jim: It was a bad day, for everybody.
Jim: Look, Terry, let’s just work the case, do our job.
Karen: Terry’s been shot! Bus is on its way.
Fisk: Anything to share, Jim?
Jim: That’s not the way I heard it: I heard the .09 first then the .022, and I’m almost certain.
Reverend: Detective Dunbar, I sense you know what it means to be treated unfairly. Promise me you won’t do the same to Titus.
Galloway: Let me get this straight: You think your ex-partner fabricated the whole thing but you’re not going to do anything about it?
Jim: This is a handkerchief.
Karen: Oh, man.
Terry: Don’t do this to me, Jimmy, please.
Jim: Out of respect, for the friendship we had, I’m willing to say it was an accidental discharge. And really, I don’t know how you can ask from me anything more than that.
Christie: Are you really done with it? Are you done with him?
Jim: But if I could go back? I wouldn’t change places with that guy. [Let’s say it, all together now.] I’d rather lose my sight than my courage.

One of my favourite lines as you may have guessed.

Oh, we had a limit? I didn't know that. Sounds good to me. The shorter, the better.

So...I know it's been done quite a bit, but here is my take on [glow=red,2,300]Up on the Roof[/glow]

Jim: It wasn't a dream! It was real. And you were there, and you, and you...
Christie: I'm the only one here, Jim.
Jim: Sorry.
Stemple: We're not going to get anywhere, but sure! Let's go ahead and pretend to be working the case.
Marty: What did Terry ever do to you?
Jim: Aw, nothing worth mentioning.
Terry: Jim, can I please take a moment of your time so I can dump all my guilt onto you?
Jim: Can't. Hank's got some business to attend to outside, if you know what I mean...
Terry: Fine! So I'll just go and shoot mys--uh, yeah. It's probably a good thing he left before I got to that part.
Jim: Why wouldn't I be able to recognize a handkerchief by touch? Who, in this day and age, doesn't have a fancy handkerchief handy? And don't pretend your English is bad because that would be an insult to us.
Terry: Heh. You got me, Jim! Hey, since you're doing so well, I guess I don't need to feel guilty about the whole blind thing anymore, right? Oh, and you don't need to mention this whole shooting-myself-and-blaming-it-on-Titus thing, okay? It won't look very good on my record.
Marty: Hey, Jim! Are you any good at skeet shooting? Just curious...
Karen: Wanna hang out? I'm sure you would never think of cheating on your wife with a co-worker, so it's all good.
Jim: Can't. I think Christie is going to be wearing her nudie shirt tonight and I need to make sure she doesn't go out in public.
Christie: So you don't mind staying in so I can rub your chest for a while?

Another spit take. I should cover my keyboard before I read these things.

Here's my take on Four Feet Under. Talk about difficult; there is so much going on in this episode -- the infamous dinner party, the first meeting with Galloway, the near meltdown of Jim and Christie's marriage, oh, and a little thing like the murder of a child. Whew!

Christie: "We were invited to a dinner party tonight."
Jim: "Hank! Hank! Hank!'
Lloyd Crider" "Is it just you gonna be handlin' this?"
Jim: "I can never see anything."
Marty: "Bin Laden."
Fisk" "Apparently you haven't reported for your psychological evaluation yet."
Jim" "You could know me 50 years, Marty, and you'll never see me smug."
Karen: Quit with the bull in the china shop mentality."
Medical Examiner: Someone didn't want this kid looked at."
Jim: "Regardless of how long you think I'll last on the job, don't cut short my interviews."
Clay Simmons: "Too oakey for my fat Irish tongue."
Jim: "Yeah, and I was just clumsy."
Christie: "That's your world, Jim, not mine."
Galloway: "Tell me how you're feeling, Jim."
Christie: "I've got a bag packed."

[hoosier]

Ya know, I really like this mini-recap business. Makes you think about what is important in each episode!

Rub a Tub Tub

Jim:"Someone must have moved the desk."
Marty:"He was a good guy and a good cop."
Karen:"There's a lot of messed up cops around here right now.'
Jim:"He's got that village idiot look down pat."
Karen:"You got a stain on your right leg. Is that from banging your shin this morning?"
Marty:"I want to know why we're being kept outta the loop."
Mary Beth:"Carl and I had a don't ask, don't tell arrangement"
Jim:"I work here now and I'm not going anywhere."
Eric:"Are you trying to prove that you're still a bad ass cop, Dunbar?"
Karen:"Next move is to do a cologne line-up."
Jim:"I guess what this comes down to is whether you trust me or not."
Mary Beth:"Carl, he pushed me and pushed me..."
Dr. Galloway:"Its like you're constantly trying to sell me on how great a job you're doing."
Jim:"People amaze me."
Jim:"I'm trying, I'm really trying, honestly."

Good one, Hoosier! "It isn't easy," doing these one-minute recaps. Karma!

Four Feet Under

Christie: Wanna go hang out with a bunch of stuffy fashionistas tonight? Nothing fancy. Just some last-minute, spur-of-the-moment party without any frills. You'll fit right in.
Jim: I sense flies! There's obviously a dead body around here somewhere.
Marty: Good one, Jim. When we do find him, this will all somehow be your fault.
Fisk: It has become increasingly obvious that you have yet to see your shrink.
Clay: It's okay, Christine. He can't see me hitting on you, so how will he ever figure it out?
Galloway: No, I'm not making that face. . . still not making that face...Will you stop asking me that?
Christie: I like that rain repellant you got us. We're like ducks!

here's a twist: Try to do it using dialogue from a single character. Off the top of my head? The Pilot and Jim:

So I'll try The Pilot and Hank.

1. "We haven't even been on the job for five minutes and I already got stepped on. You may have balls of steel Dunbar, but not me."

2 "What do you mean, "this way pup?" I'd like to take a bite outa crime and take a bite out of you, baldie."

3.Get lost Terry, he's my partner now.

4. First day on the job and she's on your case as soon as you get home. Lose her Dunbar....we don't need her.

5. Ya leave me in the hall, you leave me in the car......"All I want is a chance. I wouldn't be here if I thought I couldn't do my job......" Do those words sound familiar Dunbar?

6. What do you mean. "does your little doggie go into the stall......?" I don't think that's one bit funny.

7. "They're mine.....They're mine....".you gotta be kidding detective, you know They're mine!

8. They're brown......now you know! Mine are brown too Dunbar, and you never asked me. I think you were putting the moves on her.
