The Society for Environmental Exploration has published one or more research reports
related to this project.
Tenerife is the largest of the seven stunning Canary Islands, which form this Atlantic Ocean archipelago. From the golden sandy beaches in the south to the dramatic lunar landscape of Mount Teide National Park and everything in between, Tenerife is a must see.
The Canary Islands are part of a community of Island chains situated in the mid-Atlantic Ocean. Along with Madeira, Cape Verde, the Azores and the Savage Islands, the Canaries are known as Macaronesia which literally translates as 'Islands of the Fortunate'. The Canary Islands certainly are fortunate as they boast over 1700 species of plants and an assortment of animal, insect and marine life and out of the seven Canary Islands, Tenerife is the most biologically diverse due to its extraordinary climate and geography.
This little Island is home to two world heritage sites, one national park, the world's third largest volcano and 42 natural protected spaces making it jam packed with places to explore. The enormous variety of activities and sites such as the medieval castle, unspoilt villages and fantastic diving will make your time in Tenerife a truly unique experience.
As one of the top whale and dolphin watching destinations in the world, the south-west coast of Tenerife is a truly outstanding location for the observation of free-living whales. There are resident communities of pilot whales and dolphins which remain here throughout the year, which can be observed on perhaps 80% of the days of the year. There is also a total of 24 other species migrating through Canarian waters at different times of the year from the giant blue whale to the majestic killer whale.
This project will give you the perfect opportunity to learn more about these fascinating creatures and gain valuable experience in conservation as you spend your days working alongside the Island's threatened whale and dolphin populations.

Whales and dolphins are a natural resource in the Canary Islands, as is highlighted by the presence on more than 84 whale watching boats in the Islands, and about 500,000 whale watching tourists every year. Whales and dolphins are both beautiful species and have been around for millions of years so it is of extreme importance for humans to conserve and respect these creatures.
Currently, the whales and dolphins face a number of threats including habitat degradation, injury from ships and commercial fishing equipment, prey depletion caused by overfishing, and noise and health effects resulting from increased in-water pollution rates.
There are still a number of populations that are resident and reproduce in the region, and so the protection of these magnificent creatures is paramount. We need volunteers to join the project who are committed to ensuring the conservation of a number of endangered cetacean species. The baseline data you collect will contribute towards the long-term management of the area and assist in promoting marine conservation in the wider region. So if you are a marine life enthusiast and want to contribute to the important work of conservationists in Tenerife, then this is the project for you!
After initial training and induction, volunteers will be taking part in three main project activities that combine to build Frontier's conservation efforts in Tenerife. These activities are:
1. Cetacean Surveys on local ethical whale watching boats where volunteers will collect data and photographs of the local populations of cetaceans. The data being collected includes population numbers and population health, interactions with other vessels and other animals, behaviour patterns, habitat conditions and effect on animals and fin identification. This information is then inputted into our database which supplements our knowledge of cetaceans and holds growing record of each individual on numerous species in Tenerife waters.
2. Community Outreach of the conservation efforts for cetaceans both in Tenerife and around the world by speaking to and informing tourists on the ethical whale watching boats, working with the local whale watching industry to inform and raise awareness of the issues threatening whales and dolphins in Tenerife, informing tourists and other interested parties of the impact of tourism on the wildlife and overall working towards ethical tourism in the area. We also carry out extensive beach cleans in multiple areas around Southern Tenerife, often in conjunction with other volunteer or tour organisations. This is an excellent opportunity to make a positive impact on the environment – fishing nets and rubbish are a critical threat to the marine life in this wildlife hotspot area. See previous media posts for turtles that have been rescued from fishing nets in the area – this is what we want to prevent!
3. Volunteers will also take part in Coastal Surveys in the local area to monitor boat and other vessel traffic, population numbers and behaviour, weather and environment conditions and impact, habitat health, fish farm activity, fish farm dependency by cetaceans and interactions between vessels and wildlife. This data helps to create a wider overall picture of the state of the whale and dolphin populations in Tenerife and the impact of tourism.
Frequency of these activities is dependent on season and volunteer numbers but every volunteer will get the chance to take part in each of these crucial activities that help to build a whale and dolphin-friendly Tenerife.
As we have formed partnerships with local ethical organisations, we must respect their procedures and act like the conservationists (not tourists!) we are. These activities contribute to Tenerife's expanding knowledge of the whale and dolphin populations, informing tourists and industry members and build Frontier's on going conservation efforts on the island.
The project is located in southern Tenerife in Oroteanda Baja, a short journey from Tenerife South Airport. If you have arranged an airport pickup, you will be met on arrival by a Frontier staff member and escorted to the project site. If you have chosen to make your own way to the project, you can use our easy to follow instructions which will be emailed to you by the Project Manager. We will provide you with all the information you need prior to your departure to enable you to plan your journey. Upon arrival at the project site you will be met by a friendly Frontier representative from the research team and taken to your accommodation.
During your time on the project you will be staying at our volunteer house, located close to the three major harbours from where the whale watching boats launch, with your fellow volunteers and research staff. This house also acts as the field base for conservation efforts so you'll spend the majority of your work time here when not out on the boats analysing data collected from the morning's survey. Within the house there is a large living room and balcony for you to relax on after a busy day in the field, an open kitchen with all the facilities you'll need to cook up a feast. You'll sleep in bunk beds in one of the volunteer bedrooms with the other volunteers. As well as sleeping, the bedrooms can also be used to relax in after the long hours spent at sea and working on dolphin data. If you decide to venture out the house in your spare time, everything you'll need is a short walk or bus ride away (bus stop 10min from house), including the harbour, supermarkets, bars, restaurants and banks. The house is not meant to be luxurious, so do not expect things like maids or air conditioning! We are a conservation organisation and aim to minimise our usage of energy, water and resources as much as possible. All volunteers are expected to maintain the house while they are here, making sure that their personal areas and rooms are cleaned and help with the weekly chore rota.
You will be provided with 2 basic meals a day on weekdays as part of this programme consisting of breakfast and an evening meal. Weekend and lunch are self catering. Volunteers typically work together with the research staff to cook and complete all house-keeping duties. Make sure you come prepared with some recipes you're comfortable with cooking for everyone - you may even pick up a new dish or two during your stay to wow your friends and family back at home! The vast majority of cooking is vegetarian or vegan, as we want to minimise our impact and often have various dietary requirements to cater around – if you are here when we have BBQs or extra food from boats then you may get meat but don't expect it. Alternatively the local village also offers a choice of inexpensive and traditional restaurants for you to sample authentic Canarian cuisine. Why not try some Pancho Canario (a soup consisting of noodles, meat and vegetables) with some Bienmesabe for dessert (a puree of ground almond, egg yolk, sugar, lemon rind and cinnamon) and tea with a slice of lemon to wash it all down.

In your spare time make sure you take the opportunity to explore the islands hidden secrets and sample the traditional historic towns as well as the stunning natural landscapes which you may recognise from Star Wars and Clash of the Titans. Maybe even pay a visit to the Teide National Park and climb a live volcano. Don't forget to stop off at the beautiful Renaissance town of La Orotava at the foot of the mountain and explore the old narrow streets and quaint churches.
Tenerife also offers everything you would expect from a fantastic tourist location, including scuba diving, quad biking, festivals and great nightlife to help unwind at the weekend.
Frontier can help you organise a variety of activities in Tenerife, whether it is salsa lessons or learning how to windsurf!

The Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) welcomed Cuba with open arms and plenty of salsa rhythms at the Cuban Night at MOLAA on Friday, June 21st. A la Buena Vista Social Club, the exciting sounds emanating from this all-star band paid a great tribute to the music of Arsenio Rodriguez known as the Father of Salsa, on his 100th anniversary. MOLAA was founded in 1996 in Long Beach, California and remains the only museum in the US exclusively dedicated to Latin American art. I enjoy this museum so much I've been there thrice now! MOLAA is complete with a patio, event space and meeting rooms for rental also.
Among the esteemed musicians enlivening the audience was Alfredo "Chocolate" Armenteros, Afro-Cuban jazz trumpeter and one of the few original band members of the Arsenio Rodriguez Conjunto. Chocolate has played with the best such as Benny More, Tito Puente, Wynton Marsalis, Eddie and Charlie Palmieri, Dizzy Gillespie, or rather…they've played with him!
Other greats contributing to this exciting band were Jose Mangual Jr. from Spanish Harlem, New York. As the son of Jose Mangual Sr., who is easily considered by many as the greatest bongo player in the world, Jose Jr. was already showcasing his talent in New York by the age of 15. He's played with the likes of Hector Lavoe and Willie Colon's orchestra, Juan Luis Guerra, Ruben Blades, Hector Lavoe, Herb Alpert, Dizzy Gillespie, David Byrne, and Celia Cruz just to name a few.
Nelson Gonzalez was also lending to the excitement on his Cuban Tres guitar. And that's just the New York players! The rest of this "Marvellous" band included Jose Caridad Perico Hernandez, Jorge Perez, Alberto Salas, Luis Eric, Alberto Tamayo, Santiago Santioste and Luis Alberto Ortega - this time all from Los Angeles.
It was difficult to not join the crowd overflowing to the aisles, swaying happily to the tune of rhythmic salsa. Meanwhile others "Mambo'ed" themselves into a frenzy of wild music experience (otherwise known as Salsa!).
Even though the tribute was called "Las Estrellas de Arsenio - A Tribute to El Maravilloso", most people are unaware that Arsenio Rodriguez' true nickname was El Ciego Maravilloso (the Marvellous Blind Man). This sad truth was due to a tragic accident as a child; Rodriguez was blinded when a horse (or mule) kicked him in the head. He traveled to New York later in life after playing for several years, and following his first recording where he hoped to find someone to cure his blindness. Sadly, he was told that his optic nerves had been completely destroyed, and soon thereafter he composed his famous bolero La Vida es un Sueño (Life is a Dream).
At the end of the 1960's, when the mambo craze was nearing its end, he arrived in Los Angeles to start anew. Even though Rodriquez was born in Cuba, his life ended here in Los Angeles in 1970 but his legend lives on worldwide. What a fitting tribute to celebrate his life and the joy he's given all of us through his music in the city where he played for the last time.

Simplifying Electronic Document Review for Real Estate Brokers
Technology usually makes tasks easier. But for real estate brokers, digital files haven't always enhanced the speed of auditing and reviewing documents. Brokers have traditionally reviewed documents from one, often large, stack of incoming papers that they can quickly flip through to read. When documents went digital, the process became complicated. Reviewers were required to …Read more

Offering cost-free services and an unmatched commitment to support professional
frequency coordinators.
To enable designated frequency coordinators to fulfill their responsibilities
with minimum inconvenience and disruption, white space administrators
shall allow designated frequency coordinators to create and manage licensed
low power auxiliary station registrations on behalf of all participating
organizations at the event for which the coordinator has been designated.
Key Bridge has been working with the professional audio community,
including technicians, operators and frequency coordinators, since 2009
to resolve potential issues, challenges and concerns introduced by the White
Space Rules.
The result of this open collaborative process is a procedure and commercial
policy statement codifying at a high level how White Space administrators
can more effectively support large venues and events having multiple
licensed operators and possibly one or more professional frequency coordinators.
You may download the document at the following link.
Procedures for Cooperative Voluntary Cooperation (CVC)
Wireless services for large, complex events including games, conventions,
tournaments and press conferences, as examples, are often voluntarily
coordinated amongst individual licensed operators by a designated frequency
coordinator ("Coordinator"). This activity may be called cooperative
voluntary coordination ("CVC").
FCC White Space rules require that the channels reserved for low power
auxiliary devices (e.g. wireless microphones) are registered prior to
use with an authorized White Space administrator ("Administrator").
Registrations must identify a responsible party, the location, schedule
and channel of operation, plus licensing (call sign) information.
For practical purposes it would be cumbersome and error prone if each
licensee were required to individually register their own assigned
operating frequencies or channels directly with an Administrator for
events where a Coordinator has been designated.
In such scenarios Coordinators should instead be able to continue their
current business practices with only minor modification.
White Space administrators should provide the simplest and least intrusive
implementations possible in support of large venues and events
where a Coordinator has been designated.
Key Bridge offers our complete service portfolio on a cost-free basis
and operational support on a a cost-free, best-effort basis
to professional frequency coordinators organizing major events having
five or more licensed participants.
Contact us about a month in advance of your next major event.
We will work to ensure your customers are properly registered and protected.

Whether you're interested in a ranch, 2-story, looking to down-size, or just starting out, Little Valley Homes can help you find the perfect home for you and your family!
Modular Home vs. Manufactured Home
Modular Homes
Modular Homes are constructed and built in the factory under environmentally-controlled conditions and must meet strict quality control requirements before delivery. They are transported to the site on carrier frames, then using cranes, removed from the carrier, and placed and assembled onto a permanent foundation. Once on site, modular homes are often indistinguishable from comparable on-site stick-built homes.
Manufactured Homes
Manufactured Homes were formerly labeled mobile homes or trailers. Their advantages are mobility and affordability as they can be built in a single or multi-sectional. Manufactured Homes are manufactured in the factory under controlled conditions and are inspected before delivery. They are transported on their own frame, which remains with the home when set on the foundation.

This article is from the archive of our partner .
John Bonham, the drummer for Led Zeppelin also known as "Bonzo" and "The Beast," died on Sept. 25, 1980, after choking on his own vomit at Jimmy Page's mansion in Windsor, England, which Page had just bought from the actor Michael Caine.
At the time, the band was preparing for a 20-city tour of the U.S. But days later, the remaining members announced that Led Zeppelin was no more.
- Tales of Marvel: Author Sean Howe talks about his new book
- Cuomo goes national, hiring NBC exec Allison Gollust to replace a local-press veteran
- Getting those deals with Wright and Dickey over with, for better or worse
"We can't go on without Bonham," Robert Plant said.
Page added: "We couldn't just replace somebody; it wasn't that sort of band."
Twenty-seven years passed before the band played another show. That show—a tribute to the late Ahmet Ertegun, the charismatic founder of Atlantic Records and a close friend of the band— took place at the O2 Arena in London on December 10, 2007. 20 million people applied for tickets in a worldwide lottery, and only 18,000 got them. Bonham's son Jason stood in on drums.
The concert has been preserved in the form of an epic two-hour film called Celebration Day, which premiered on Tuesday night at the Ziegfeld Theater in Manhattan. Earlier that day, a press preview was held at the Museum of Modern Art, followed by a tense and at times bizarre press conference with the band.
Throughout the screening, the assembled web, print and radio journalists shouted as if it were a real concert. ("Whoo!" "Yeah!" "Turn it up!") They clapped and hooted after every song. During "Stairway to Heaven," thousands of onscreen audience members whipped out their camera phones to record it. When someone at MoMA tried to do the same, a security guard snapped at him and he quickly turned it off.
The film's track list features 16 immortal Zeppelin hits, including "Since I've Been Loving You," "Black Dog," "Misty Mountain Top" and "Kashmir." Plant, wearing loose blue pants and no longer able to hit the banshee octaves of old, still made expert use of his harmonica in "Nobody's Fault But Mine." Page, white-haired and pouring sweat, brought out his Gibson double neck for "Stairway" and brandished his violin bow for "Dazed and Confused." Sitting at the drum kit in a tight black t-shirt bedazzled with rhinestones crosses, Jason Bonham looked less like his longhaired dad than a heavyweight UFC fighter whose confidence in himself outweighs his abilities, but he performed flawlessly. (The absence of "Moby Dick" on the set list relieved him of having to live up to The Beast's six-minute drum solos.)
After the screening, the assembled press was herded into the press conference. Every news outlet in New York seemed to be there. As the band walked on stage, someone said, "Holy shit, it's Led Zeppelin!"
At a press conference for the film in London last month, the band had evaded the question of whether they will reunite for a reunion tour. But that didn't stop journalists at MoMA from asking the same question in a variety of ways.
The Associated Press wondered whether the film got them thinking about, you know, something bigger for the band?
"We've been thinking about all sorts of things," Plant said. "We just can't remember what they were. Schmuck."
A radio host tried buttering them up ("You sound great, you look great") before suggesting that the film won't quench the thirst of those craving to see the band in the flesh. "What do you say to them?" he tried.
A lengthy silence ensued.
"Is anybody going to say anything?" the moderator said.
Later, when a reporter for CNN cut the preamble and went for it ("Why is it so hard to come together again?") he was met with even stonier silence. Another reporter, in if-you-can't-beat-em-join-em mode, piped up in the rockers' defense: "It's been answered a million times, sir!"
Plant came closest to offering an answer when he said, in response to a different question: "If we're capable of doing something, in our own time, that will be what will happen. So any inane questions from people who are from syndicated outlets, you should just really think about what it takes to answer a question like that in one second. We know what we've got, you know."
The original members remained pretty much in character. Jones, earnest and reliable, noted that playing "Kashmir" during the concert was "nice" because "I got to sit down" at the keyboard. Page, looking like Karl Lagerfeld in black glasses and a black scarf, seemed to confirm his continued interest in the occult. Plant, his gold locks now streaked with grey, added an air of "This is Spinal Tap" to the proceedings with a series of one-liners and strange non-sequiturs.
Apropos of nothing, he noted the presence of a masseuse in the crowd ("That's ever so exciting"). Asked why the band was so sensitive to journalistic criticism—a question posed by no less than Carol Miller, creator of "Get the Led Out" on Q104.3—Plant said simply: "Well, we were." After Bonham recalled a few fond moments fromThe Song Remains the Same, another concert film shot at Madison Square Garden in 1973, Plant said: "I wanted to know what happened to that blonde chick."
It was easy to imagine the ghost of John Bonham looking down on the news conference with naked contempt, wishing he could punch every journalist—and maybe Robert Plant—in the face.
Bonham often played concerts with a plastic bag full of cocaine between his legs. At bars, he was known to order 20 Black Russians and drink the first 10 immediately. On several occasions he stuck a gun into the back of Glenn Hughes, the bassist for Deep Purple, after accusing him of sleeping with his wife. The Plaza Hotel in New York demanded a $10,000 deposit whenever Bonham stayed there, before finally banning him outright after he threw TVs and furniture off his balcony onto the sidewalk below.
"There's no question that what you've got here is a super-sensitive guy," the Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward once told British journalist Mick Wall, author of the Zeppelin biography When Giants Walked the Earth.
But the gentler side of the drummer's spirit endures in Jason Bonham, who spoke lovingly of his dad and the band he grew up idolizing, before meekly admitting his aviator shades contained prescription lenses.
Toward the end of the conference, Plant shared a memory of his childhood friend and former bandmate.
"John used to say to me: 'You're not very good, Planty. So just go out there and look good.' And you know? He was right."

Parking to Change in the North Village Arts District
COLUMBIA - The City of Columbia began making changes to parking Saturday in the North Village Arts District. The Public Works Department will add 49 coin-fed meters to the area in the next few weeks. The reasoning behind the changes is the increase in local residents due to the construction of Brookside apartment on College avenue. The City and other local residents say that there has been a significant reduction of parking in the area since Brookside residents have started to move in. Currently there are 273 residents in the apartments, but there could be up to 450 more by fall of 2014.
Parking along the west side of St. Joseph Street, and the west side of Hubbell drive will be designated as permit-only parking for local residents. Parking on the West side of St Joseph street will be 10 hour metered parking, and St James Street and Orr Street will have 2 hour metered parking.
After six months of the new system, the parking will be reviewed and city engineers will determine if any changes are needed.

The camera boasts a powerful new feature called Creative Shot. This feature analyzes an image and automatically creates a series of five artistic photos of the original with varying composition, lighting and color. This feature negates the need to post process on your computer and allows you total creative control in your camera. The camera also offers 58 scenes selections for its Smart AUTO function. The PowerShot N features Smart Shutter, enabling users to start tracking a subject by pressing touch panel LCD, and then capture the image by lifting their finger off the screen.
At CES I was able to get my hands on this camera a few times. The first time I saw it I didn't get it. The second time I saw it I still didn't get it. It wasn't until the third time I picked it up that I understood the depths of its functionality. A single image that I took in the camera's creative mode function changed my mind and allowed me to see what the N has to offer.
In general, I am not a huge fan of the "creative mode" functionality in Point and Shoot cameras. The different effects are usually so-so and lack the true creativity I desire in my images. But the "N" uses much different technology than any other camera's creative mode that I have used. The camera actually analyzes the image and creates 5 unique images in addition to the one you created. And it doesn't just reprocess the original image with 5 effects. No, the camera takes the original image and then "dreams up" the others. For example, I took a picture of another camera at the Canon booth. The original image was comprised of the entire camera. The N took that image and gave me 5 unique images including one that was cropped in to just show the "Canon" name that was located on the front of the camera. It also gave me an image that was black and white. It gave me another image that was a crop from the opposite side of the front of the camera. The kicker was that each image retained a single focus point. And the focus point was not the same as what I deemed the single focus point in the original image. Holy cow! That's huge. After that, I was sold and also a little worried. That functionality is almost too creative for only $300. If this function is as good as it seems Canon might want to invest into putting it into a more expensive line of cameras.
The lighting in the briefing room was not great, so it's hard to say if the camera has great color quality. From the sample image I discussed earlier, the color was very good. However, that sample was taken in creative mode and could have had color adjustments as part of the final image. The autofocus was responsive. When images are taken in creative mode, the original image and subsequent images take a few seconds to appear on the screen. That was not the case in the traditional shooting mode. Those images appeared on the screen quickly.
Almost every function is controlled through the touchscreen interface. The screen was responsive to the touch. The user interface seemed simple, intuitive and easy to learn.
The camera seems a bit small for me, but I am not their target market for this camera. This camera is designed for the young (13-20ish), creative, non-professional photographer. It is for someone that loves Instagram type pictures and does not have the time or desire to edit images on their computer. The built-in Wi-Fi in the Canon PowerShot N solidifies that this camera is created for someone that enjoys social media and wants to upload their images on the run. The PowerShot N also offers users 1080p Full HD video capabilities with a dedicated movie button for capturing movies on-the-go, too.
When photographing with this camera, the user understands they lack the ability to control much of the cameras functionality. The PowerShot N does most of the thinking for you. For some, that sounds like an ideal camera; for others that sounds like a curse. Once we get this camera in our hands we will give you a much deeper look into the Canon PowerShot N and let you know if this little camera is worth the hype.
The PowerShot N is expected to be available in April 2013 for an estimated retail price of $299.99, in white or black.

There's a new HBO documentary coming out on the subject and it looks like they may again miss the boat! This is very sad that some are still sticking to the 'calories in / calories out' myth and ignoring the fact that there's a fat hormone in the human body and we keep messing with it. "Portion Control" will always fail. The order is much more like this:

Hollywood's 100 Favorite Movie Quotes
What topped the list? THR asked its entertainment industry readers to vote on the most memorable quote from every movie ever made. Ranked in descending order are the lines that made the cut.
Everybody has a favorite movie line, even movie moguls. Disney's Alan Horn likes, "I'll have what she's having," from When Harry Met Sally …. Fox's Stacey Snider picks "You complete me," from Jerry Maguire. Tellingly, several top executives — Viacom's Philippe Dauman, Netflix's Ted Sarandos — choose "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse," from The Godfather.
Of course, to compile THR's latest poll, the magazine didn't merely talk to moguls. Just as with previous ballots (Hollywood's 100 Favorite Films, Hollywood's 100 Favorite TV Shows), THR surveyed a vast range of industry professionals — more than 1,600 producers, directors, actors, agents, publicists, craft workers and yes, even writers (Salman Rushdie picks "It was Beauty killed the Beast," from King Kong) — and this time asked them to choose their favorite lines of dialogue from all of film history. While the editors were at it, they also chatted with many of the writers who penned those classic lines to find out the backstory behind the most quoted words ("I wrote, 'Yippie-ki-yay, asshole,' " recalls Die Hard screenwriter Steven E. de Souza). The results, ranked in descending order, are on the following pages — the movie quotes that Hollywood pros, the people who actually put sentences up on screens, love most.

"Love means never having to say you're sorry."
Love Story, 1970
One of the most parodied movie lines in cinema — even Ryan O'Neal himself poked fun at it in Peter Bogdanovich's screwball comedy What's Up, Doc?. When Barbra Streisand quotes it, he retorts, "That's the dumbest thing I have ever heard."
"They may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!"
Braveheart, 1995
The only way Paramount pictures would fund Mel Gibson's passion project about the 13th century Scottish noble was if he agreed to star in it as well as direct.
"They call me Mister Tibbs!"
In the Heat of the Night, 1967
Poitier did not want to shoot the film in Mississippi because he had been harassed by the Ku Klux Klan when he had visited there with Harry Belafonte at the height of the civil rights movement in 1964, so most of it was filmed in Sparta, Illinois. Filmmakers even changed the name of the fictional Mississippi town in the movie to Sparta so they wouldn't have to pay to have the town's water tower repainted.
"When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."
When Harry Met Sally, 1989
Writer Nora Ephron's first draft didn't have Sally and Harry ending up together because she considered a breakup to be a more realistic ending. So when it came time to film the revised happy ending, Billy Crystal ad-libbed much of his dialogue with Meg Ryan, including this most remembered line of the picture.
"If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you."
Taken, 2008
True to his word, Liam Neeson kills 35 men in 93 minutes in the first film, scores more in the second and third, and who knows how many in the planned TV prequel.
"You complete me."
Jerry Maguire, 1996
"It was one of those lines that came so easily, it felt almost too easy," remembers writer-director Cameron Crowe. "When I first gave the script to Tom Cruise, and we were reading through it, I said, 'I'm going to change that line.' He said, 'Uh, I love that line. Why don't you give me a crack at it.' I left it in, and on the night of filming — it was 4 a.m., on a Friday, and everybody was dropping from exhaustion — Tom says the line. By the end of his speech, everybody was in tears. Across the room, Renee was a wreck. Tom had delivered the line so powerfully, and so directly to her, she was still getting over it. Later he told me, 'I had always wanted to say 'I love you' like that in a movie.'"
"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."
Gladiator, 2000
Russell Crowe and director Ridley Scott didn't quite see eye to eye on the screenplay, and on this line in particular. He routinely strayed from the script — by John Logan and William Nicholson — trying to improvise a bunch of alternatives, until Scott forced him to read the line as written. It went over like gangbusters, even though Crowe still hated it: "It was shit. But I'm the greatest actor in the world and I can make even shit sound good." The "shit" script would get nominated for best original screenplay at the 2001 Oscars and Crowe would win best actor.
"I drink your milkshake!"
There Will Be Blood, 2007
A variation of the line was uttered by Sen. Albert Fall of New Mexico during congressional hearings in 1924 on the Teapot Dome scandal, which also involved oil tycoon Edward Doheny, who was the basis for Daniel Day-Lewis' character: "Sir, if you have a milkshake and I have a milkshake, and my straw reaches across the room, I'll end up drinking your milkshake."
"Get your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!"
Planet of the Apes, 1968
The secret behind Charlton Heston's hoarse, gravelly delivery? Great acting, sure, but also Heston had the flu through much of the production.
"You make me want to be a better man."
As Good as It Gets, 1997
Though Jack Nicholson worried that his character was so unlikeable people would flee theaters, he ended up winning an Oscar for it, along with co-star Helen Hunt.
"As if!"
Clueless, 1995
"I am always compiling slang words," says Clueless writer-director Amy Heckerling about the line's origins. "In the early to mid-'90s 'as if' was floating around in the gay community, and I heard it and thought it was a multipurpose phrase. Some of the people I knew were already beyond 'as if' and they were just going, 'zif!'"
"Chewie, we're home."
Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, 2015
Harrison Ford considers director J.J. Abrams a "communications genius" for his decision to use the line in the movie's trailer. "'Chewie, we're home' was kind of the key in the door. Familiarity was unlocked at that moment," said Ford.
"Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown."
Chinatown, 1974
Even though Nicholson and director Roman Polanski fought endlessly during the making of the movie, when the actor saw the rough cut he told producer Robert Evans, "We got a hot one. Get those checks ready — we're on our way!"
"These go to eleven."
This Is Spinal Tap, 1984
Amp maker Marshall liked the publicity surrounding this line so much, they made Christopher Guest a special set of speakers whose highest setting is infinity.
"I'm walking here! I'm walking here!"
Midnight Cowboy, 1969
Dustin Hoffman's line was ad-libbed, and the scene was shot guerilla style because they didn't have enough money to shut down a New York street. The cab "almost hit us," Hoffman once recalled. "I guess the brain works so quickly, I said, in a split of a second, 'Don't go out of character …' So I said, 'I'm walking here.' Director John Schlesinger started laughing. He clapped his hands and said, 'We must have that, we must have that,' and redid it two or three times, because he loved it."
"It was Beauty killed the Beast."
King Kong, 1933
When producer Merian C. Cooper pitched the role to Fay Wray, he told her, "You'll have the tallest, darkest leading man in Hollywood." Wray was sure she'd be acting with Cary Grant.
"Badges? We ain't got no badges! We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinking badges!"
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, 1948
The misquote of the line — "We don't need no stinking badges!" — started with Micky Dolenz in a 1967 episode of The Monkees TV series, but Mel Brooks got it wrong, too, in 1974's Blazing Saddles.
"I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight."
The Devil Wears Prada, 2006
The National Science Teachers Association encourages biology and life sciences teachers to use this line to start a conversation about body image, nutrition and digestion among teenagers.
"They call it a Royale with cheese."
Pulp Fiction, 1994
If John Travolta's character had been hiding out in Italy rather than France, the line would have been "They call it a McRoyal DeLuxe." If he'd been in Japan, he might have skipped the beef and tried the "Filet-O-Shrimp Burger."
"They're here!"
Poltergeist, 1982
Actress Heather O'Rourke, who was just 6 when she made Poltergeist, tragically died at age 12, in 1988, from complications of a bowel obstruction.
"Magic Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?"
Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, 1937
Snow White was the only major character then-18-year-old Adriana Caselotti ever voiced. "Walt Disney thought it would spoil the illusion if you knew who the people were who provided the voices in the film," she revealed in a 1987 interview, about the strict contract that kept her from other parts. (She died in 1997 at age 80.)
"Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in."
The Godfather: Part III, 1990
Mario Puzo's literary estate, which contained 20 different versions of the Godfather III script written between 1978 and 1989, recently sold at auction to a private collector for $625,000.
"Nobody's perfect."
Some Like It Hot, 1959
The film's closing line was never supposed to make it into the final cut. The writers — I.A.L Diamond and director Billy Wilder — put it into the script as a placeholder, until they came up with something better.
"Yo, Adrian!"
Rocky, 1976
Sylvester Stallone utters this line too many times to count in the first five Rocky films (six in the original alone) but the only time anyone ever remembers is at the end of Rocky II, when he holds the championship belt he has just won from Apollo Creed.
"Wax on, wax off."
The Karate Kid, 1984
"I never imagined the 'wax on, wax off' would amount to anything," says screenwriter Robert Mark Kamen. "The crane at the end was the one. I wanted that to be the big moment. If I thought anyone remembered anything they'd remember that."
"You ain't heard nothin' yet!"
The Jazz Singer, 1927
Al Jolson was so excited about his rendition of "Dirty Hands, Dirty Face" that he spontaneously uttered the line before segueing into "Toot, Toot, Tootsie." The line was going to be cut but Sam Warner insisted it stay.
"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the war room!"
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, 1964
When Stanley Kubrick sat down with Peter George to adapt George's novel Red Alert, the director struggled with treating the material as a straight drama, as he initially intended. "My idea of doing it as a nightmare comedy came in the early weeks of working on the screenplay," Kubrick said after the film's release. "I found that in trying to put meat on the bones and to imagine the scenes fully, one had to keep leaving out of it things which were either absurd or paradoxical, in order to keep it from being funny; and these things seemed to be close to the heart of the scenes in question."
"I don't want to survive. I want to live."
12 Years a Slave, 2013
This line comes right from Solomon Northup's 1853 book. Writer John Ridley has said he tried to remain true to the original. "To modify the man, no matter how sincere the desire, would have ultimately been dishonest. Solomon's story begs for honesty. As the voice of his own history, what he wrote deserved fidelity."
"Elementary, my dear Watson."
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, 1939
Sherlock Holmes never utters this line in any of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories. It was invented entirely for the movies.
"That'll do, pig. That'll do."
Babe, 1995
Although James Cromwell would get more screen time in George Miller's talking pig tale than in any of his previous films, he had only 171 words of dialogue. These are his best five.
"I wish I knew how to quit you."
Brokeback Mountain, 2005
Screenwriter Diana Ossana got this gem directly from the New Yorker short story that inspired the film, co-written by Larry McMurtry. "The film has become a part of the popular culture," says Ossana. "We have a Google Alert for the film, and in the 10 years since it came out there hasn't been a day that there wasn't something, somewhere in the news about Brokeback Mountain."
"Good morning, Vietnam!"
Good Morning, Vietnam, 1987
The real-life Adrian Cronauer says he came up with the drawn out "goooood moooorning" sign-on because he was often shuffling papers to start the show and needed to stall for time.
"My precious."
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, 2002
Want your own? You don't have to battle orcs and dragons — you just have to shop online. A platinum version, complete with Elvish script, retails for $3,100.
"Argo f— yourself."
Argo, 2012
Screenwriter Chris Terrio actually found this memorable piece of dialogue in the real, declassified CIA report that agent Tony Melendez (played by Ben Affleck) wrote about the Iran Hostage Crisis rescue mission.
"It's alive! It's alive!"
Frankenstein, 1931
Censors cut Dr. Frankenstein's original line — "It's alive! It's alive! In the name of God! Now I know what it's like to be God!"
"I have always depended on the kindness of strangers."
A Streetcar Named Desire, 1951
This line was originally delivered onstage by Jessica Tandy, who played Blanche on Broadway, and was almost delivered in the movie by Olivia de Havilland (she was offered the role but wanted too much money). Vivian Leigh took it for $100,000, making her the highest-paid English actress of the time, but there may have been moments she regretted it; she and co-star Marlon Brando initially hated each other.
"Go ahead, make my day."
Sudden Impact, 1983
In Kenya the mispronunciation of "make my day" is "makmende," which is slang for someone who tries to be a hero and was the name creators chose for the country's first locally created superhero, described by CNN as "one part Shaft, one part Superman."
"I mean, funny like I'm a clown? I amuse you?"
Goodfellas, 1990
The "funny how" bit was heavily based on an incident Joe Pesci experienced as a young waiter when he complimented a mobster on his sense of humor. Needless to say, the man didn't take it too well. Martin Scorsese heard the story during rehearsal and liked it so much that he let Pesci and Ray Liotta incorporate it by improvising their dialogue. The other actors in the scene weren't given advanced notice because Scorsese wanted their genuine, unrehearsed reactions, and he shot it with only medium takes and no close-ups in order to capture their surprise.
"Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope."
Star Wars, 1977
Soon after the film came out in 1977, Sir Alec Guinness told the BBC that fans sought him out for Obi-Wan-like wisdom. "I've been getting some pretty strange letters: 'My wife and I have got problems, could you come over and live with us.'"
"You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and blow."
To Have and Have Not, 1944
The racy double entendre wasn't penned by the credited screenwriters — that'd be Jules Furthman and William Faulkner — but by producer Howard Hawks, who came up with the line at Lauren Bacall's test screening. She was so good at it, Hawks asked Faulkner to pencil it into the shooting script.
"You is kind. You is smart. You is important."
The Help, 2011
"One of the weirdest places I've seen the line pop up," says writer-director Tate Taylor, "was in a gift shop in Mississippi. It was crocheted toilet-seat cover that said, 'You is kind, you is smart, you is important.' I guess they thought it would be a beautiful place to those words every day."
"After all, tomorrow is another day!"
Gone With the Wind, 1939
Though the screenplay, which went through numerous revisions, has four credited writers, this line is lifted directly from the book, where it is the closing line of the novel.
"Stella! Hey, Stella!"
A Streetcar Named Desire, 1951
Since 1997, the annual Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival has held a Stanley and Stella shouting contest.
"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!"
The Wizard of Oz, 1939
L. Frank Baum, the author of the novel on which the film is based, reportedly thought up the name "Oz" when looking at his filing cabinets, which were organized from A to N and O to Z.
"I'm also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her."
Notting Hill, 1999
No surprise that one of the ultimate rom-com lines of all time also had the biggest disparity between male and female voters. Women had it at No. 28. Men just No. 100.
"The Dude abides."
The Big Lebowski, 1998
The inspiration for Jeff Bridges' character was Jeff Dowd, legendary publicist and former head of the Seattle Film Festival. At Sundance in 2009, the real Dude famously got into a fistfight with Variety film critic John Anderson over a disagreement over a documentary titled Dirt! The Movie.
"Hasta la vista, baby."
Terminator 2: Judgment Day, 1991
"Sayonara, baby" was used in the Spanish-language version of the film since hasta la vista wouldn't have been funny to Spanish-speaking audiences.
"I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!"
The Wizard of Oz, 1939
Judy Garland became so attached to the little black Cairn Terrier who played Toto that she tried to adopt the pooch after filming ended. (His owner said no.) The dog, whose real name was Terry, was compensated well for his work: He got more than twice what the Munchkins received.
"Play it, Sam. Play 'As Time Goes By.'"
Casablanca, 1942
Blame Woody Allen and his 1972 comedy, Play it Again, Sam, for making this the all-time most misquoted movie line in film history.
"I'm having an old friend for dinner."
The Silence of the Lambs, 1991
With lines as good as this one, Anthony Hopkins only needed about 16 minutes of screen time to win a best actor Oscar, among the shortest performances ever to earn someone an Academy Award in the category.
"I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way."
Who Framed Roger Rabbit, 1988
The line was voiced before any part of Roger Rabbit had been illustrated, so to get Bob Hoskins in the mood, director Robert Zemeckis told the late actor to simply imagine his ideal sexual fantasy.
"If you build it, he will come."
Field of Dreams, 1989
Another misquote! Nobody in Field of Dreams ever says, "If you build it, they will come."
"Just keep swimming."
Finding Nemo, 2003
This line — voiced by talk show host Ellen DeGeneres — was so popular, it's earned her sidekick fish character, Dory, her own Nemo sequel, Finding Dory, coming this summer.
"Mama says, 'Stupid is as stupid does.'"
Forrest Gump, 1994
Forrest Gump may have popularized the phrase, but it's actually a variant of the old adage, "Handsome is as handsome does," which appears in, among other places, J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and Herman Melville's Billy Budd.
"I'm the king of the world!"
Titanic, 1997
Director James Cameron admitted "making a fool of" himself by repeating the line as he accepted the movie's best picture Oscar.
"Shaken, not stirred."
Goldfinger, 1964
The line is uttered onscreen for the first time by Dr. No, the villain in the first Bond movie. Bond himself doesn't say it until Goldfinger, the third movie.
"What we've got here is a failure to communicate."
Cool Hand Luke, 1967
Screenwriter Frank Pierson thought the line seemed too refined to be uttered by Strother Martin's prison warden, so he wrote an elaborate backstory for the character that involved criminology courses that improved his vocabulary.
"I am big! It's the pictures that got small."
Sunset Boulevard, 1950
Numerous retired silent film stars were considered for the role of Norma Desmond — Mary Pickford, Greta Garbo, Norma Shearer, Pola Negri — but, of course, the part ultimately went to Gloria Swanson, who stayed in character throughout the entire shoot.
"Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings."
It's a Wonderful Life, 1946
There are 42 rings heard during the movie, meaning, if Clarence (Henry Travers) is right, 42 new angels.
"Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer."
The Godfather, Part II, 1974
Although this line is variously attributed to Sun Tzu, Machiavelli and an Arabian proverb, this specific phrasing came straight from the pens of screenwriters Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola.
"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."
The Usual Suspects, 1995
The line actually comes from 19th century French poet Charles Baudelaire's poetry collection Paris Spleen. In French it is, "La plus belle des ruses du diable est de vous persuader qu'il n'existe pas."
"I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!"
Network, 1976
Network screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky originally envisioned Paul Newman in the the role that won Peter Finch an Oscar — the first to be given posthumously (the second went to Heath Ledger). Two months before the Academy Awards, Finch suffered a heart attack in the lobby of the Beverly Hills Hotel while waiting for a meeting with director Sidney Lumet.
"You don't understand! I could've had class. I could've been a contender. I could've been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am."
On the Waterfront, 1954
Rod Steiger's reaction to this line was filmed without Brando present. Brando's deal with the studio allowed him to leave at 4:00 every day to attend therapy to deal with the recent death of his mother.
"Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads."
Back to the Future, 1985
One of two lines on this list that have been quoted in State of the Union addresses (see also: No. 32). "There is just no greater tribute you can get than have the president of the United States quote your movie, no matter what your politics are," says writer Bob Gale.
"Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night."
All About Eve, 1950
Despite holding the record for the most Academy Award nominations for a single film (14, tied with Titanic) and making nearly every list of the top 100 movies of all time, this is one of the most misquoted lines in movie history. Most say, "…It's going to be a bumpy RIDE.
"I love the smell of napalm in the morning."
Apocalypse Now, 1979
In the 37 years since the movie was released, this line has been parodied more than 50 times in other TV shows and movies, including Lizzie Maguire ("I love the smell of pop quizzes in the morning!") and Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie ("I love the smell of destruction in the evening!").
"You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?"
Dirty Harry, 1971
Another misquote. Contrary to popular belief, Clint Eastwood never says, "Do you feel lucky, punk?"
"Say hello to my little friend!"
Scarface, 1983Al Pacino's M203 grenade launcher — which was custom-made for the film and later appeared in Predator — sold at an auction in November for $54,400.
"Show me the money!"
Jerry Maguire, 1996
"The most surreal part of hearing the line reappear in the culture," writer-director Cameron Crowe tells THR about Cuba Gooding Jr.'s signature phrase, "was when George W. Bush and then Barack Obama both quoted it in their State of the Union speeches. When Obama said it, my mom called immediately: 'OK, you did it,' she said, 'you got Bush and Obama to agree about something.'"
"Leave the gun. Take the cannoli."
The Godfather, 1972
Richard Castellano, who played Clemenza, ad-libbed "take the cannoli," riffing on an earlier scene where his character's wife asks him to pick up the dessert on his way home.
"Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys."
Dead Poets Society, 1989
"I have a pair of pants from a company called Carpe Denim," screenwriter Tom Schulman tells THR. "I didn't realize when I bought them, but when they were folded in a certain way I saw it on the inside of the waistband. The 'Denim' is pretty much the funniest thing I've seen with that line."
"Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me, aren't you?"
The Graduate, 1967
In Mike Nichols' movie, Mrs. Robinson is supposed to be 25 years older than recent college grad Ben Braddock. But in reality, 35-year-old Anne Bancroft was only six years older than 29-year-old Dustin Hoffman.
"I am serious. And don't call me Shirley."
Airplane, 1980
"I think people remember the line because of Leslie Nielsen's delivery," Jeff Zucker (who co-wrote the script with his brother David and Jim Abrahamson) tells THR. "The way he said it was exactly what we were going for. We told the actors to pretend they didn't know they were in a comedy."
"Here's Johnny!"
The Shining, 1980
All the script called for was for Jack Nicholson's deranged writer, Jack Torrance, to break down the door to get to his cowering wife. But Nicholson added a little something to cut the tension — the production went through dozens of doors before director Stanley Kubrick was satisfied — and his improvised "Here's Johnny!" made the cut.
"There's no crying in baseball!"
A League of Their Own, 1992
"If somebody put a gun to my head and said 'What would be sort of the defining line from A League of Their Own, I would pick a line much later in the movie," says screenwriter Babaloo Mandel. "Geena Davis is quitting and she's trying to tell him, 'It just got too hard,' and Tom Hanks says to her, 'It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard everyone would do it. The "hard" is what makes it great.' I would pick that."
"You had me at hello."
Jerry Maguire, 1996
"It was a straight-up tip of the hat to Billy Wilder and the last line of The Apartment," says writer-director Cameron Crowe. "I always loved it when Shirley MacLaine said to Jack Lemmon, 'Shut up and deal.' It was the favorite last line to any movie in my family growing up. We loved it. So for Jerry Maguire, I wanted Renee to just cut him off and say it. The actual full line is, 'Shut up — you had me at hello.' It's pretty much a rule of thumb for every screenwriter: Billy Wilder will never steer you wrong."
"Houston, we have a problem."
Apollo 13, 1995
Hollywood doing a little historical revisionism: In real life, astronaut Jim Lovell said, "Houston, we've had a problem."
"To infinity and beyond!"
Toy Story, 1995
Buzz Lightyear's catchphrase is actually a variation of the line "Beyond the infinite," which appears as a title card in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. The phrase later served as the title of Karen Paik's book recounting the history of Pixar — and as a lyric in Beyonce's 2008 hit, "Single Ladies."
"Yippie-ki-yay, motherf—er!"
Die Hard, 1988
"I wrote 'Yippe-ki-yay, asshole,'" says screenwriter Steven E. de Souza. "But Bruce, on his final take, ad-libbed the 'motherf—er,' much to the amusement of the crew. The studio nervously left it in for the first test screening and the reaction made it permanent. But you don't always know."
"E.T. phone home."
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, 1982
Director Steven Spielberg voiced E.T. during shooting — standing just to the side of the camera and interacting with the child actors. Then sound designer Ben Burtt recorded actress Pat Welsh, whose raspy smoker's voice he overheard one day at a camera store, and mixed it with animal sounds to get the friendly alien's voice just right.
"You can't handle the truth!"
A Few Good Men, 1992
It took an entire day to shoot the climatic courtroom scene where Nicholson utters this line. When it came time to shoot coverage — filming reaction shots from others in the scene — director Rob Reiner told Nicholson he would get someone else to read his lines off-camera, but Nicholson insisted on reading them himself, doing the speech about 50 times. Why? "I just love to act," he told Reiner.
"I'll be back."
The Terminator, 1984
Schwarzenegger wanted to change the line to "I will be back" because it sounded more machine-like and he had trouble pronouncing "I'll." He said director James Cameron "looked at me like I'd lost my mind."
"I see dead people."
The Sixth Sense, 1999
As Haley Joel Osment says this line, the camera pans over Bruce Willis' face. That worried producer Frank Marshall, who thought it might give away the movie's twist. Test audience, though, didn't have a clue.
"Bond. James Bond."
Dr. No, 1962
Ian Fleming named his superspy by looking for the most boring moniker he could find on his bookshelves — it turned out to be the author of a bird-watching guide. "By God, [that] is the dullest name I've ever heard," Fleming recalled of his eureka moment.
"We'll always have Paris."
Casablanca, 1942In an oral history for the Writers Guild, screenwriter Julius Epstein recalled, "I wrote a note to [producer] Hal Wallis telling him how terrible [the script for Casablanca] was. He put it in a drawer. Thereafter, any time we had an argument about anything, he would open the drawer, pull out that note and hand it to [me] to read."
"This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
Casablanca, 1942
The original draft of the screenplay ended with Claude Rains, not Bogart, saying "This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship," and Bogart replying, "Yes, but don't forget you still owe me 10,000 francs."
"I'll have what she's having."
When Harry Met Sally, 1989
According to Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan was so self-conscious about faking an orgasm, director Rob Reiner faked "an orgasm that King Kong would be jealous of" to make her relax.
"Why so serious?"
The Dark Knight, 2008
Heath Ledger's brilliantly twisted delivery may account for why this line finished No. 1 among 20- to 29-year-old voters.
"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
The Princess Bride, 1987
Mandy Patinkin has said that this line — by far the most famous he's ever uttered — gets repeated back to him by fans at least two or three times a day.
"I am your father."
Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, 1980
One of the most misquoted lines in movie history, right up there with "Play it again, Sam." The real line has no "Luke" in it.
"The first rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club."
Fight Club, 1999
Edward Norton and Brad Pitt took their preparation for Fight Club seriously. Both took lessons in boxing, tae kwon do, grappling and studied hours of UFC programming. Pitt even visited a dentist to have his front tooth chipped. They also almost didn't get the roles: Matt Damon and Sean Penn were considered for The Narrator, but David Fincher wanted Norton, as he was impressed with his performance in The People vs. Larry Flynt. One producer has his eye on Russell Crowe for Tyler Durden, but another producer overruled him.
"There's no place like home."
The Wizard of Oz, 1939
The film adaption took a lot of liberties with L. Frank Baum's 1900 fantasy novel. The filmmakers did, however, take this jewel straight from the book.
"You talkin' to me?"
Taxi Driver, 1976
Robert De Niro improvised the line. The script simply said, "Travis speaks to himself in the mirror." Writer Paul Schrader told the actor his character was just "a little kid playing with guns and acting tough."
"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine."
Casablanca, 1942
Casablanca has the most quotes in the top 100. In addition to this one there are Casablanca lines at Nos. 2, 15, 16 and 52.
"I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse."
The Godfather, 1972
Some variation of this line appears in all three Godfather movies. Screenwriter Mario Puzo and director Francis Ford Coppola were on opposite coasts when they were co-writing the script for the first film — Puzo in New York City, Coppola in San Francisco — and they literally mailed drafts back and forth to each other.
"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore."
The Wizard of Oz, 1939
Since Dorothy first uttered it 77 years ago, this line has popped up in countless TV shows and movies, from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids to Avatar, from Grey's Anatomy to Gilmore Girls. Not to mention Jo Dee Messina's 1996 hit "You're Not in Kansas Anymore."
"May the Force be with you."
Star Wars, 1977
Several characters say this line in the original movie, but surprisingly not Obi-Wan Kenobi, who doesn't utter it until 2002's Episode II: Attack of the Clones.
"You're gonna need a bigger boat."
Jaws, 1975
"[Richard] Zanuck and [David] Brown were very stingy producers and everyone kept telling them 'You're gonna need a bigger boat,'" recalls Jaws screenwriter Carl Gottlieb (who moved in with director Steven Spielberg for four months to work on the shooting script). "It became a catchphrase for anytime anything went wrong — whether lunch was late or if the swells were rocking the camera."
"Here's looking at you, kid."
Casablanca, 1942
The Japanese version of the line — "Kimi no hitomi ni kanpai'' — literally translates as, "Cheers to your eyes." Manako Ihaya of the American Translators Association calls it "a classic example of a good movie script translation" for its ability to capture the nuance of the English for the Japanese audience.
"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."
Gone With the Wind, 1939
Two months before the movie's release, censors demanded that "damn" be dropped. The producers came up with 22 variations of the line, including "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a whoop," before the censors relented and allowed the "damn" to stay. Read more here.

(Houston Chronicle) The dwindling supply of homes on the market and a surge in million-dollar housing activity sent the Houston-area median home price into record high territory in April, a new report shows.
The median — the figure at which half the homes sold for more and half for less — jumped 14.5 percent to $184,900, according to the Houston Association of Realtors, which tracks properties sold through the Multiple Listing Service. April marked the second month in a row the median hit a record high.
"The Houston housing market shows absolutely no sign of letting up," the association's chairman, Danny Frank, said in a statement. He said more listings and additional home building are needed to meet the growing demand fueled by the healthy job market.
Single-family home sales last month spiked 27.2 percent over April 2012, marking the 23rd straight month of positive year-over-year sales. Townhomes and condominium sales shot up 31 percent.
As the demand continued, so did the constrained inventory, which dwindled to 3.4 months. That was the lowest level since 1999 and far below the six months experts consider a balanced market. Active listings, or the number of available properties, at the end of April declined 23.6 percent from April 2012 to 32,498.
Buyers closed on 6,482 single-family homes, representing the largest one-month sales volume recorded since August 2007, right before the recession took hold. All housing segments experienced gains except for the low end. Here's the breakdown:
- Up to $79,999: decreased 16.5 percent
- $80,000 – $149,999: increased 14.1 percent
- $150,000 – $249,999: increased 36.0 percent
- $250,000 – $499,999: increased 49.5 percent
- $500,000 – $1 million and above: increased 68.3 percent

Multimillion dollar road projects planned for Omaha streets
Eleven major construction projects have been approved after the state found millions in extra funds.
Gov. Dave Heineman announced Tuesday that $6.4 million will be used to repair and maintain state highways throughout Omaha.
After analyzing its budget, the state found an extra $21 million when existing construction projects came in under budget.
"We need to be putting more money into our roads. We haven't been able to because of budgetary constraints," said Mayor Jean Stothert.
With the money from the state, the city of Omaha can now tackle some projects on its waiting list.
"If you look at these roads and the areas that they are in, they are all over the city," Stothert said.
Some of the major changes will be Dodge Street from Turner Boulevard to 52nd Street, 84th Street from Q to Harrison streets, and 30th Street from Fort to Whitmore streets.
"We are going to do the best we can to coordinate this effort so that we don't close down two parallel roads or roads that make it impossible to put up an adequate detour route," said Todd Pfitzer with Omaha Public Works.
The city said, in total, there will be about 43 lane miles that will be repaired. Officials said it is going to make it easier for drivers to get around town.
Some taxpayers argue the state should have put the money elsewhere, like education.
"I have six kids and there's not enough money for the education," said Sara Poth of Omaha.
Others said some of the state highways don't need repairs.
"I feel like some roads need repair and some are alright, like they're just repairing them to make them look better," said Jesus Salazar of Omaha.
The city insists all the road projects are necessary.
"We are decades behind in road maintenance and repair in Omaha, and good roads are a service that taxpayers expect and deserve," Stothert said.
Construction will start this summer. The city expects to have all the projects finished by the end of the year if weather cooperates.
Below is a complete list of planned road projects:
Dodge Street, Turner Boulevard to 42nd Street
S 84th Street, Q Street to Harrison Street
W Maple Road, 90th Street to 102nd Street
Cuming Street, 30th Steet to 46th Street
Industrial Road, Interstate 80 to 108th Street
EB Industrial Road, 126th Street to 131st Street
EB Industrial Road, 144th Street to 151st Street
L Street, 33rd Street to Dahlman Aveunue
30th Street, Fort Street to Whitmore Street
McKinley Street, 30th Street to 48th Street
Douglas Street, 24th Street to 9th Street

Donny began raking in the cash almost immediately after the short yellow school bus dropped him off in front of his house in Troy N.Y.
He spotted his mother Kayla, 22, who had been waiting for him on their front porch and hurled his Spiderman backpack in the direction of her feet. As he walked up the steps, Donny made himself available to a random, yet steady, trickle of well wishers, the sort who preferred to peel off a few green backs instead of fumbling with gift paper and bows. Donny, whose name has been changed at the request of the photographer, turned eight that day and in his neighborhood, occasions such as birthdays, funerals and releases from prison, drew big crowds in which everyone was considered family and obliged to make an appearance.
That birthday, which took place this April, was particularly important for Donny. His previous birthday had fallen in the middle of a fourteen-day crisis intervention that the seven year old had spent in a pediatric psychiatric facility. Since kindergarten, Donny has struggled with several emotional and behavioral disorders including attention deficit disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and separation anxiety. His diagnoses have resulted in multiple suspensions that have caused him to miss valuable school time.
This year, family members were making up for lost time. Jose, an old sweetheart of Kayla's who was recently released from prison, passed by the stoop with a twenty; Donny's uncle Will, who was scheduled to begin a 60-day stint in county jail, left a fist full of ones; Kayla's brother Robby, out on probation, put $10 towards a World Wrestling Federation action figure that Donny wanted. And Sabrina, an extended family member, dropped by to give Donny a huge hug and reveal her birthday plan to take him to a Yankees game. A cousin to Donny's biological father, Sabrina has filled in for him, on and off, since Donny's birth and later became Kayla's first serious girlfriend.
I've known Donny since he was born, after a friend introduced to me Sabrina, who was the subject of a New York Times Magazine assignment that sent me close to my hometown in upstate New York. It was the first time that I returned as a professional since leaving there more than 30 years before. Kayla lived in Troy, just 10 minutes from where I grew up, and her story resonated with me. Reserved and street smart, Kayla was the girl I wished I was when I was 14. There was an uneasy identification between the two of us that grew into friendship over the next eight years while I continued to document Kayla, Sabrina and their friends who lived as a family on the same block. A family, I discovered, that was formed largely in response to increasingly punitive legal, moral and economic shifts within their working class community. I watched, as school either became the interface between the justice system and a disengaged teenager or a lifeline thrown from an involved teacher. At year six, I began to agonize about the utility of this monster story and when Donny began school, it became evident that he was the story. Donny is the proverbial child that this neighborhood raised.
Donny is one of a number of very young children that are part of an alarming increase in students being labeled with disabilities at much younger ages. He was suspended from school four times when he was in kindergarten, almost twice that in first grade and more than twenty days in second grade. In New York City, policy critics and social justice advocates note that minority children and children with disabilities are more likely to be suspended, and at much younger ages. Yet, organizations such as the Children's Defense Fund note that there is no evidence to show that suspension corrects behavior, especially among children as young as Donny—and that this supports a "cradle to prison" pipeline. The Education Department's Office of Civil Rights 2009-2010 survey released In March 2012, shows that once students are suspended from school, they are more likely to be suspended again—and ultimately may serve time in prison.
In February, Donny was taken out of the Rennselaer county school district regular classroom for special education and placed in day treatment that serves as a specialized school with one-on-one instruction in small classrooms, a longer school year and where suspension is not an option. That consistency, along with the support of a team of social workers, has been a tremendous factor in his improvement at home and school. Kayla says he wakes her while it is still dark and wants to get ready for school. In the past, school social workers had targeted one of Donny's "triggers" as school avoidance, and it became a cycle, with him acting out because he knew he would be sent home and then not feeling a part of the class when he returned and then acting out so he could leave again. Donny has now been in school since February without being suspended. This is the longest time he has gone with out a suspension since kindergarten.
