Northern Exposure

Ed: (trying to tell Holling how Ruth-Anne is, after she rants about it being a dog-eat-dog world) She called you a patronizing s.o.b., but that was only on account of your dog eating her dog.

Maurice: I never thought I'd see the day Alex Hamilton couldn't make me smile.

Maurice: Quit yankin' my marley!

Maurice: Don't try to tell me flyin' ain't worth all the tea cookies in Thailand!

Joel: What about in prison, caged up with axe murderers and pederasts? Chris: Those guys? Come on.

Joel: You never had any anxiety? Chris: I don't think so.

Chris: I get an A for anxiety, and E for effort, and a big fat F for failure.

Chris: I feel like a bunny seeing a semi bearing down on me full of judgment and humiliation!

Chris: (about flying) It's like my arms are the wings, my nose is the nose.

Chris: Anxiety. I gotta remember that guy's name.

Shelly: (walking in on Chris doing anxiety exercises) What is he doing? Maggie: He's breathing. Shelly: Keep breathing, I just brought you this for luck. Chris: Your garter? Shelly: I won Miss NWP with that.

Shelly: (defending Ruth-Anne's right to be angry) Her granduder did end up grandchuck.

Ed: I'd eat you first, Dr. Fleischman. Shelly: Me too. Joel: Thanks. Honored, I guess.

Shelly: If it snowed a lot and you had to eat the toothpaste and the lima beans, who would you? Ed: Eat? Shelly: Yeah.

Holling: She is throwing away 25 years of perfectly good friendship all over who ate who! My grandpa may have been a Vincoeur through and through, but when the going got tough at least he had the gumption not to get hisself et!

Ruth-Anne: Grandpa Bob didn't even have the genetic oomph to survive a snowstorm!

Ruth-Anne: Mad? No, I'm not mad. Yes I am mad. Mad at him!

Ruth-Anne: (yelling at Holling) Cannibal of the bird world!

Holling: I was only thinking of you! Ruth-Anne: Well, don't!

Ruth-Anne: They ate my grandfather! Holling: Well for goodness sake!

Ed: They ate Bob. Ruth-Anne: They ate Bob? Holling: They ate Bob?

Ruth-Anne: (about reading her grandpa's letters) I felt like Granpa Bob was telling me I belonged here. Here I am!
