That’s pretty much what I can remember off the top of my head.
"It begins where it ends, in nothingness. A nightmare born from deepest fears, coming home unguarded. Whispering images from time and distance. A soul unbound, touched by others, but never held, on a course chartered by some unseen hand, the journey ahead promising no more than the past reflected back upon me, until at last I reach the end, facing a truth I can no longer deny. Alone, as ever." – Dana Scully
We work in the dark. We do what we can to battle the evil that would otherwise destroy us, but if a man’s character is not his fate, this fight is not a choice but a calling. A perilous journey we can neither question nor refuse. Yet, sometimes the weight of this burden causes us to falter, breaching the fragile fortress of our mind, allowing the monsters without to turn within, and we are left alone staring into the abyss, into the laughing face of madness. – Fox Mulder
"They said the birds refused to sing and the thermostat fell suddenly. As if God himself had his breath stolen away. No one there dared speak aloud, as much in shame as in sorrow. They uncovered the bodies one by one. The eyes of the dead were closed, as if waiting for permission to open them. Were they still dreaming of ice cream and monkey bars? Of birthday cake and no future but the afternoon? Or had their innocence been taken along with their lives, buried in the cold earth so long ago? These fates seemed too cruel even for God to allow. Or are the tragic young born again when the world’s not looking? I want to believe so badly, in a truth beyond our own, hidden and obscured from all but the most sensitive eyes. In the endless procession of souls, in what cannot and will not be destroyed. I want to believe we are unaware of God’s eternal recompense and sadness. That we cannot see his truth. That that which is born still lives and cannot be buried in the cold earth, but only waits to be born again at God’s behest. Where in ancient starlight we lay in repose."

Sorry, I was absolutely crazy about that show.
The name is from the French, Gargouille – the name of a medieval dragon which prowled the river Seine whose horrible image became the symbol of the souls of the condemned turned to stone or of the devils and demons of the underworld spared eternal damnation. The embodiment of the lesser forces of the universe who inspired dread and the threat of our own damnation. Ushers into Hell or into the realm of our own dark fears and imagination. For over 1,200 years the grotesque image has found its expression in stone, clay, wood, oil, and charcoal; born again and again as if resurrecting itself by its own will through tortured human expression, almost as if it existed, haunting men inwardly so that it might haunt mankind for eternity as it must have haunted John Mostow. But what impulses moved him to kill? Could this be the same dark force at work? Its ultimate expression the destruction of the flesh of the very hand that creates it? Is this evil something born in each of us, crouching in the shadow of every human soul waiting to emerge? A monster that violates our bodies and twists our will to do its bidding? Is this the monster called madness?

Police Chief "Do you know what this is? It’s a medical report on you. The Doctors say you have anxiety neurosis to the point of being paranoid."
Detective Harley Stone "Doctors don’t know shit."
Chief "How many weapons you carrying besides this cannon?"
Stone "An MP-15."
Chief "What else?"
Stone "A Glock 50."
Chief "And?"
Stone "An A-3 Assault Shotgun."
Chief "If that’s not paranoid, I don’t know what the fuck is. I’m surprised you don’t have a grenade launcher."
Stone "I couldn’t get a permit."

Durking "What are you going to do with that?’

There are more, but I won’t put them here yet. Suffice to say Split Second is one of my favs. Rutger Hauer is one of my favorite actors.
This is great and all but the title of the thread is Quote anything from a TV Show, and Split Second is a film.

"The Continuum didn’t think you had it in you, Jean-Luc, but I knew you did."
"Are you saying that it worked? We collapsed the anomaly?"
"Is that all this meant to you? Just another spatial anomaly? Just another day at the office?"
"Did it work?"
"Well, you’re here, aren’t you? You’re talking to me, aren’t you?"
"What about my crew?"
""The anomaly…my ship…my crew…" I suppose you’re worried about your fish, too. Well, if it puts your mind at ease, you’ve saved humanity…once again."
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"You had a hand in helping me get out of this."
"I was the one who got you into it–a directive from the Continuum. The part about the helping hand, though…was my idea."
"I sincerely hope that this is the last time that I find myself here."
"You just don’t get it, do you, Jean-Luc? The trial never ends. We wanted to see if you had the ability to expand your mind and your horizons. And for one brief moment, you did."
"When I realized the paradox."
"Exactly. For that one fraction of a second, you were open to options you had never considered. That is the exploration that awaits you. Not mapping stars and studying nebulae, but charting the unknown possibilities of existence."
"Q, what is it that you’re trying to tell me?"
"You’ll find out. In any case, I’ll be watching. And if you’re very lucky, I’ll drop by to say hello from time to time. See you…out there."

You’re gonna see
It’s our destiny
You’ve got a friend in me
You’ve got a friend in me
You’ve got a friend in me

Janitor: Ah, hey everyone. I’ve been looking for a new roleplaying game ever since my Lord Of The Rings-club booted me for using an actual warhammer, so would anyone mind if I pretended to be Chief of Medicine while Kelso is out of town?
Everyone: *Unison approval*
Janitor: Fantastic! Let’s make cancer feel foolish!
J.D.: Were you ever planning on telling me?
Kim: Yes, But I didn’t know what to say.
J.D.: How about "J.D., I think there might be something living inside my uterus."
Dr. Kelso:: What the hell’s with her?
Dr. Cox:: She’s mad, but she can’t give me the "silent treatment", because she knows I’d actually love that. So she’s giving me the "talk until I commit suicide treatment".
Dr. Kelso:: Sucks to be you.
Dr. Cox:: You have no idea. [Starts eating his newspaper]
Turk: How the hell am I supposed to cry?
Janitor: You need to cry, let’s brainstorm. I could hit you over the head with a wrench, or… [turns wrench around to reveal a knife on the other end] I could stab you in the gut with a knife. [sings] Knife-Wrench! Practical and safe. {tries to slip the knife-wrench in his pocket, but stabs his leg.)

McGee: Tony that is not funny.
Tony: They already think you’re ducking them. It’s only going to get worse.
Ziva: Hello, Abby.
Abby: WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? How could you have doubted Tony, after everything you’ve been through together? You really think Tony killed Rivkin because he was jealous?! You weren’t thinking. That’s right, you weren’t thinking. Although I supposed I can understand your initial reaction. You were at an emotional time for you, when people act rashly. But to tell Gibbs that you didn’t trust Tony?! Which again, I can understand, I mean, he did just shoot your boyfriend… in your living room… to death. Alright, I’ll give you that.
McGee: What are you doing? I’m not the sidekick.
Tony: I’m the boss when Gibbs isn’t here.
Gibbs: Gibbs is here.
Abby: It’s weird Ziva hasn’t contacted me. I mean it would be one thing if she simply hadn’t picked up the phone and called me, but I’ve tried to contact her several different ways.
McGee: Psychics, crystals or telepathy?
Tony: It’s all about chemistry. The zing, the pahh!
McGee: What do you mean, ‘pahh’?
Tony: You know … pahh.

"No dictator, no invader, can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand. The Centauri learned this lesson once. We will teach it to them again. Though it take a thousand years, we will be free." -G’Kar
"Are we on? This is… this is the President. I have just been informed that the midrange military bases at Beta Durani and Proxima 3 have fallen to the Minbari advance. We’ve lost contact with Io and must conclude that they too have fallen to an advance force. Our Military Intelligence believes that the Minbari intend to bypass Mars and hit Earth directly and the attack could come at any time. We have continued to broadcast our surrender and a plea for mercy and they have not responded. Therefore we can only conclude that we stand at the twilight of the human race. In order to buy time for our evacuation transports to leave Earth, we ask for the support of every ship capable of fighting to take part in a last defense of our home world. We will not lie to you, we do not believe that survival is a possibility. We believe that anyone who joins this battle will never come home. But for every ten minutes we can delay the Minbari advance, several hundred more civilians may have a chance to escape to neutral territory. Though Earth may fall, the human race must have a chance to continue elsewhere. No greater sacrifice has ever been asked of a people. But I ask you now to step forward one last time, one last battle to hold the line against the night. May God go with you all. " -Earth President

"I was, I’m better now. The Ambassador is right, I went to Z’Ha’Dum. I have seen the face of the enemy, they’re not Gods and they’re not indestructible. I’ve fought them and killed many of them, and I have survived. There is a way out of this and stop this insanity once and for all. Now Delenn’s fleet is a start, now we have to build on that. Together we will build the largest fleet in history, not just for a battle but to change the shape of the galaxy. Not just for ourselves but for our children, and our children’s children. Tell your governments that the only man to survive Z’Ha’Dum sends this message. We can end this, not just for now, not for just the next thousand years but forever. I stand before you as proof that it can be done. We can fight and we can win, but only if we do it together. Can I count on you? Can I count on you? Will you stand together?!" – Captain John Sheridan

Jerri: "But we’ll be burned alive!"
Noblet: "Father will save us! Where’s your faith, woman!"
Jellineck: "I was a complete zero, Jerri."
Jerri: "And now?"
Jellineck: "Well, now you could multiply that zero by one hundred."
Jerri: "Wow! That must be a lot."
The King of Queens
Arthur Spooner: You gotta hand it to those Japanese, though, clever people. Still a mystery to me how we ever got them to surrender in the Second World War.
Carrie Spooner Heffernan: Well, we did annihilate two of their cities.
Arthur Spooner: True enough. Mystery solved.
[Doug answers the phone]
Doug Heffernan: Hello… Mhm?… Oh, hold on a second, let me get him… Arthur! Phone!
Arthur Spooner: Who is it?
Doug Heffernan: It’s Louis Di Robertis from some law firm.
Arthur Spooner: Tell him to drop dead!
Doug Heffernan: Okay, I am not going to tell him to drop dead.
Arthur Spooner: Then tell him to go to hell!
Doug Heffernan: Not telling him that either.
Arthur Spooner: Then you go to hell!
Doug Heffernan: You go to hell!
Arthur Spooner: Drop dead!
[Doug lifts up the phone]
Doug Heffernan: Sorry, wrong number.
Carrie: Doug, tell me what the hell is going on or, so help me, I will kill you. And I don’t mean that funny "Oh my God, I’m going to kill you." I mean, I will stop your heart!
Doug: Good luck, Arthur.
Arthur: Thanks. What can I say except "I hope you die, you fat pig!"
Arthur: These past few days have been some of the best of my life. I won’t go back to the way it was before…I’ll die first.
Arthur: Your song gave me the will to go on.
Ava St. Clair: My song saved your life?
Arthur: Yes. And I also realized I couldn’t off my self if wanted to…I’m very much a coward.
Carrie: What’s the story here?
Arthur: Story? No story. I was just standing here casually scratching my head.
Carrie: You were going through my purse.
Arthur: That’s only because I was looking for a tic tac. Here it is.
Carrie: Those are my birth control pills dad.
Arthur: What do you need birth control pills for?! Does he touch you?!
Arthur: Darling, question for you. Do you find me sexually attractive?
Carrie: Well…Dad.
Arthur: Yes I know you’re my daughter. Can’t you put that aside for one moment and answer a simple question? Am I sexy?!

I love that crazy old man or as Doug would call him "a demented old circus monkey".
"Let me give you one more round,
drink it down,
you stupid clown,
let me give you one more round,
and your out on your ass!"
How Very Rude (Stephanie Tanner in bed with Teddy bear)
Bart: Oh, that’s nothing, he can hear pudding!
*Goes out the window so it seems as if she’s about to jump to her death*
Grace Adler: "No! What are you doing?!"
*Karen reaches far and grabs a bottle of alcohol she’s left in the snow to cool*
*Audience laughs*
Will & Grace
I need to find this movie again. Awesome as it was.
Firefly
Wash playing with dinosaurs: Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
Jubel Early: You ever been shot?
Simon: No.
Jubel Early: You oughta be shot. Or stabbed, lose a leg. To be a surgeon, you know? Know what kind of pain you’re dealing with. They make psychiatrists get psychoanalyzed before they can get certified, but they don’t make a surgeon get cut on. That seem right to you?
Wash: We need to go to the crappy town where I’m a hero.

Sadly it has yet to be released on DVD. I have it in my horde of recorded VHS tapes. Sas thing is I still use those from time to time.
DOCTA!
Tony (not adjusting to Arizona’s weather): "Damn, you must be hot."
Ziva: "Thank you Tony, I’m told that a lot."
Tony: "Not you, I mean, hot, as in, heat."
Ziva: "Will you stop complaining! This is like winter in Israel!"

movie voice : Its not just a tiara, its a key to unlock the secret unicorn stables
Nico : I don’t know any of those words mean
Turk: Baby, what I wanna know is why are there utensils in the waffle drawer? *High-fives J.D.*
Lois: But that kid is all tied up!
Stewie: Roman Polanski’s house.
But then I fell backwards and landed in my own boom boom.
I laid there and cried for a whole day.
And that’s why I vowed to help anyone in need, no matter how small their problem.
Lister: Like what?
Holly: Cow’s milk. Ran out of that yonks ago. Fresh and dehydrated.
Lister: What kind of milk are we using now?
Holly: Emergency backup supply. We’re on the dog’s milk.
Lister: Dog’s milk!?
Holly: Nothing wrong with dog’s milk. Full of goodness. Full of vitamins. Full of marrowbone jelly. Lasts longer than any other type of milk, dog’s milk.
Lister: (staring at his cup) Why?
Holly: No bugger’ll drink it. Plus, the advantage of dog’s milk is when it goes off, it tastes exactly the same as when it’s fresh.
Lister: Why didn’t you tell me, Holly?
Holly: What, and spoil your tea?
Red Dwarf Series II – "Kryten"
"What did the blind man say when he passed the fish market?
Good morning ladies."
No.6: “Like blazes. First chance I get.”
No.2: “I meant — run for office?”
"Who?! The spider?!"
"Ya… Uh… Can I, Can I see that again. Oh my goodness."

"Book em’ Danno!" – Hawaii Five-0 & Original Hawaii Five-O
"You want to know how two chemicals interact, do you ask them? No, they’re going to lie through their lying little chemical teeth. Throw them in a beaker and apply heat."
◦"It’s a basic truth of the human condition that everybody lies. The only variable is about what."
"I’ve found that when you want to know the truth about someone that someone is probably the last person you should ask."
"…like the philosopher Jagger once said, ‘You can’t always get what you want.’"
"Saying there appears to be some clotting is like saying there’s a traffic jam ahead. Is it a ten-car pile up, or just a really slow bus in the center lane? And if it is a bus, is that bus thrombotic or embolic? I think I pushed the metaphor too far."
Roslin: "I have cancer."
Billy: "I know.."
(Roslin looks at him inquisitively as if to say ‘How did you know?’)
Billy: "The little things. It’s alright.."
Roslin (shaking her head): "The world is coming to an end… and all I can think about, is that I am dying of cancer. How selfish is that?"
Billy: "It’s not selfish. It’s human."
Caprica Six (looking at a baby in a pram): "It’s amazing that the neck can support so much weight." (then reaches in and with her fingers, snaps the baby’s neck, then calmly walks away leaving the dead baby for it’s mother to find.)
(The Galactica has just been officially decommissioned, when suddenly klaxons start blaring)
Tigh (walking into the CIC casually while everyone else around him is in pandemonium): "What have we got? A shipping accident?"
(Adama says nothing but glumly hands him a dispatch. Tigh just scoffs and chuckles)
Tigh: "This is a joke! It’s a joke! The Fleet is playing a joke on you as a retirement prank!"
(Adama gives Tigh a look that could melt steel)
Adama: "I don’t think so."
(The smile slowly disappears from Tigh’s mouth and his face goes pale as the horrid realization sinks in. Adama takes the microphone and addresses the ship)
Adama: "This is the commander. Moments ago, this ship received word of a Cylon attack against our home worlds is underway. We do not know the size or the disposition or the strength of the enemy forces. But all indications point… to a massive assault against Colonial defenses. Admiral Nagala has taken personal command of the fleet aboard the battlestar Atlantia, following the complete destruction of Picon Fleet Headquarters in the first wave of the attacks. How, why … doesn’t really matter now. What does matter, is that, as of this moment, we are at war. You’ve trained for this! You’re ready for this! Stand to your duties, trust your fellow shipmates, and we’ll all get through this. Further updates as we get them. Thank you."

Max: Got word from this fence I know. There’s a collector willing to pay top dollar for Star Wars: Episode VII. After the Pulse, they shut down production. Apparently this is the only footage that exists.
Alec: Is that the one where Captain Kirk dies?
[giggles]
Rumplestiltskin: Maybe I *am* cruel.
Head-Six (threateningly): "Don’t make me angry Gaius. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry!" (Then to drive home the threat, she grabs Baltar by the hair and smashes his head against a bathroom mirror).
From Battlestar Galactica: The Plan
(Caprica-Cavil and the Caprica Buccaneers’ version of Simon are sitting at Anders’ resistance camp on Caprica discussing the Cylon plan and bemusedly overhearing the sounds of Anders and Kara having sex in the next room)
Cavil: "What are they doing in there?"
Simon (smirking): "You need a doctor to tell you that?"
Cavil (realizing and visibly disgusted): "Oh for Godsake why?!"
Simon: (his smirk wider): "Why? He loves her."
Cavil (sarcastically): "He, ‘loves’ her?"
Simon: "Vigorously."
Cavil: "But she’s beneath him!"
Simon (hearing Kara moan with pleasure particularly loudly and his smirk grows even larger): "… Not necessarily." :p
That little scene was probably my favourite in the whole show. 😉
(During the Fall of the Colonies, the battlestar Yashuman and two other ships and their Viper squadrons scramble to intercept the Cylon fleet in orbit over the planet of Caprica, while the Yashuman’s wireless operator becomes increasingly desperate to convince the ground command of the imminent threat):
Yashuman radio operator: "Caprica Control, Yashuman. Heavy bogeys, six plus, lower orbit, over grid 15-2."
Caprica Ground Control: "No joy, Yashuman."
Yashuman RO: "Then go to your window and look up! They�re big as frakking asteroids!"
Caprica Control: "Copy, Yashuman. Still blind. Got some kind of system-wide crash in the defense grid."
Yashuman: "Try to unfrak yourself right godsdamned now, �cause we got multiple inbound, and they�re not carrying flowers!!"
Caprica Control: "Wait one, Yashuman!"
Yashuman: "We don�t have one left!!"
(Radio contact between The Yashuman and Caprica Control goes silent, as the ship and it’s fighters are shut down remotely by the Cylon fleet infiltrating the Colonial defense computer system and are accordingly obliterated)
Vir: I’d like to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations that some favors come with too high a price. I’d look up at your lifeless eyes and wave like this. Can you and your associates arrange it for me, Mr. Morden?
Babylon 5 / In the Shadow of Z’ha’dum
G’Kar: Yes, I’ve heard it, but …
Franklin: What if that is the wrong question? I wonder if the right question is, can God create a puzzle so difficult, a riddle so complex, that even he can’t solve it? What if that’s us? Maybe a problem like this is God’s way of doing to us a little of what we do to him?
Babylon 5 / Wheel of Fire
and "Everybody Lies"
House, MD
The nuclear card was fine as long as we alone could play it. But the Generals and Politicos knew they could not win a public relations war. Those photographs from Nagasaki and Hiroshima were not faces Americans wanted to see in the mirror. Oppenheimer knew it, of course, but we silenced him. When the Russians developed the bomb, the fear in the military was not for safety at home, but for armistice and treaty. The business of America isn’t business, Agent Mulder, it’s war. Since Antitam, nothing has driven the economy faster. We needed a reason to keep spending money, and when there wasn’t a war to justify it, we called it a war anyway. The Cold War was essentially a fifty year public relations battle… a pitched game of chicken against an enemy we not much more than called names. The Communists called us a few names, too. "We will bury you," Kruschev said, and the public believed it. And after what McCarthy had done, they ate it with a big spoon. We faced off a few times in Cuba, Korea, Vietnam, but nobody dropped the bomb – nobody dared."

From Disco Didn’t Die. It Was Murdered!
Shawn: I’m Shawn Spencer and that’s my partner –
Henry: Yeah, yeah, that’s his partner, Methuselah Honeysuckle, which makes me Old Scratch Johnson.
And another one from Earth, Wind and… Wait for It
Henry: And all you got is your bird chirping?
Shawn: Wait a minute. What about Miss Mugglesworth?
Gus: My cockatoo when I was eight?
Shawn: Yeah.
Gus: Wow, I haven’t thought about her in years.
Shawn: Remember when she died, your parents fed you some story about taking her somewhere.
Gus: The Bird Sanctuary. But she’s not dead. She’s still there, living amongst other relinquished avians.
Henry: Gus, have you seen her since your parents took her there?
Gus: Of course not. She had a rare bird disease where she would lose her feathers if anyone ever looked at her, so she has to be kept in a special mirrored cage. What?
Henry: Gus, your parents lied to you. We do it sometimes to protect our kids. Your bird bit the big one. Sorry, pal.
Shawn: Yeah. Not all pets get to go live on a special wheat farm like my rabbits.
Henry: That’s right, son. (turns to Gus, gives 😬 face)
