Santa: I'm getting too old for this.

Movie/TV title:JFK
Character name:Guy Bannister
Quote(s):Guy Bannister: Here's to the New Frontier. Camelot
in smithereens. I'll drink to that.
All this blubbering over that
sonofabitch! They're grieving like
they knew the man. It makes me want
to puke.
A ******** President! I don't see
any weeping for all the thousands of
Cubans that ******* condemned to
death and torture at the Bay of Pigs.
Where are all the tears for the
Russians and Hungarians and Chinese
living like slaves in prison camps
run by Kennedy's communist buddies -
All these damned peace treaties!
I'm telling ya Jack, that's what
happens when you let the *******
vote. They get together with the
Jews and the Catholics and elect an
Irish bleeding heart.
Well, the kid musta gone nuts, right?
(Martin says nothing,
looks troubled)
I said Oswald must've flipped. Just
did this crazy thing before anyone
could stop him, right?

Character name:Uncle Charlie
Quote(s):
CHARLIE:Hey! Do you know what kind of crap is in that water?

the bag back.

CHARLIEYou think this is a joke? This is funny? Jesus Christ! You know how
lucky you are you could get in here? Thirty years old and all the crap you pulled and you never got caught?
TOM(angry)That wasn't luck, old man. That was skill. I was good at it.
CHARLIEOh, yeah, it takes a lot of skill to fence bulldozers. That's goddamn
genius time.

Movie/TV title:Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
Character name:Wilson White
Quote(s):WHITE:If you'll give an old man your attention?
JACK:I'm the only old man here, Wilson.
WHITE:Well I suppose we're all older than we think. I'd like to offer a toast to Jamie. Two years in Business Affairs at Atlantis Records, two years as Vice President in charge of Production at United Artists--I company I was surprised to learn still existed--
WHITE: (CONT'D)-four years at NBC, where she shepherded such modest hits as Seinfeld, Friends, Mad About You and Frasier, and where she saw to it that Jay Leno spanked David Letterman on a regular basis. I believe you were personally responsible for booking Hugh Grant after his Sunset Boulevard mishap.
JAMIE:Yes, but that was the only think I was personally responsible for with regard to Hugh Grant.

They're sheep. They like Bush enough to credit him with saving the nation after 9/11. Three thousand people get killed, and everybody thinks they're next on the list. The president comes along, and he's got his six-guns strapped on, and people think he's going to save them.
“I come up here to get away from the sun,”
yet the ratings kept going down. We finally figured it out; people don't dislike John, they're just tired of bad news. When they flip on the TV, they want to get AWAY from their problems, not hear about people getting thrown overboard tied to their boat anchor or working out so they can strangle innocent kids faster and better.”
Almost every position he took in his life I was highly supportive of. He was a hero in many respects.”
You could call 'show biz,' filmmaking, the original arena for outsourcing because ever since I've been making movies, Hollywood has been threatened with outsourcing, be it Italy, be it Australia, New Zealand, and certainly, Canada,”
The interns recommended a new, Survivor format for news anchors. Every week viewers can vote to banish a news reporter off to 60 Minutes, 48 hours, or some other pseudo-news program. The one who's left will be our new anchor.”
