    A Bit

    But...you'd be wrong...cause I am a bit of a cheat.

    It's...just...gonna take a bit of time you know.

    I gonna pop off to the hospital in a bit.

    [to show she's tired, she slumps on the counter] Coffee, please, maybe it'll perk me up a bit before work.

    Yeah, a bit.

    I mean, it's all a bit complicated now they're older.

    They're both a bit irritated with each other.

    Getting a bit tired of looking like Death warmed over.

    Maybe I should make a bit of an effort to appease his anger.

    You know what he's like...he can be a bit demanding at times.

    I'm feeling a bit better, thanks.

    They're gonna do another test in a bit.

    It's just a bit difficult right now when I'm looking after the store while Sarah is away.

    I mean, you gotta try and understand his feelings a bit.

  • We had a bit of business to sort out.

    Tell you what...get him inside and get him something to eat... he looks a bit hungry.

    When he's fed, you can give him a bit of a bath, okay?

    I think you owe me a bit of an explanation..

    Yeah, I'd love to, but I've got a bit too much to do today.

    Oh, just a bit.

    I am a fast learner and I don't mind a bit of hard work.

    Any chance of a bit of breakfast?

    Let's give him a bit of time..

    I'll pop up when it's calmed down a bit.

    It's gonna take a bit of time.

    Yes, it's just that Ricky's a bit of a failure when it comes to doing the shopping.

    Well, he's got a bit of cash floating somewhere then doesn't he?

    Makes you think a bit though, doesn't it?

    Well, I think we got quite a bit to talk about, then haven't we?

    I'm sorry I'm a bit late...how are you?

    It made me think a bit, that's all..

    Uh, just a bit of toast'll do me just fine.

    I'm just feeling a bit sluggish, sorry.

    It's a bit messy.

  • Lost a bit of weight, didn't you?

    Uh, it's a bit early for me...to have a beer, that is.

    Oh, that'll leave me a bit short-handed.

    I think I might just slip out for a bit, while you guys are talking about the contract arrangements.

    I need a bit of help from you...you know...setting it all up.

    You must be feelin' a bit bored at times, no?

    [pacing back and forth] I just feel a bit restless...

    A bit late for a stroll, don't you think.

    Why don't you get out, get a bit of fresh air.

    I should pop in and see how he's doing a bit later.

    Well, it gets a bit boring sometimes.

    He's in a bit of a bad way.

    Maybe you'll have a bit more time then.

    This table's gonna be a bit cramped, isn't it?

    It'll be a bit squashed, won't it?

    A bit odd, that, isn't it?

    I think I might have a bit of a chill coming on.

    I'll even throw in a bit of cake.

    I need you to look after the stall for me for a bit.

  • Maybe he just wants a bit of fresh air.

    She's a bit impatient, isn't she?

    Well it would be a bit silly to change them all right now after so much hard work!

    Look, it was only meant to be a bit of fun.

    So, accordin' to you, this has all just been a bit of a giggle, right?

    OLD JOE When you're a bit older you'll understand... STEVE [angry] Don't patronize me!

    Sam's got a bit of a smug look on his face, doesn't he?

    Watch it on the corners--it wobbles a bit.

    When things get a bit tough...the tough get going.

    You look a bit busy. I'll come back later.

    Yeah, well I wish he'd use a bit more imagination when he's choosing my present, that's all.

    I'm a bit busy right now. Can you call back later?

    Come on, show a bit of enthusiasm.

    He's a bit excited.

    You gotta learn a bit of self-control, mate.

    Oh nothing, he's just got a bit of a knock, that's all.

    He's beginning to prove a bit of a pain, isn't he?

    You and Nigel gettin' on a bit better now then.

    Can we have a bit of a chat?

  • We had a bit of a fight the other night.

    Phil give me the afternoon off, so I thought I'd chill out for a bit.

    How's about all of us spending a bit of time together, nice and relaxed?

    He's a bit protective of me really.

    Oh, you still look a bit shaky.

    JOE He looks just like his Dad! KATHY He does a bit.

    Absolutely

    Oh, absolutely!

    Absolutely.

    Absolutely not.

    I've been absolutely miserable.

    Absolutely. That is a very good suggestion.

    Terry, Sam, it is an absolutely beautiful morning.

    I want to make absolutely certain each of us is comfortable and confident with our firearms before we go into that building.

    Sir, are you absolutely sure you want another card?

    Actually

    Well, uh, you could actually look after the cafe for us for a couple hours later on.

    I can't believe you're actually taking his side..

  • Yes you are, you're actually feeling sympathy for him.

    Pretty good, actually.

    JACK Look, I'll leave if you two want to be alone... TOM Actually, Susan... SUSAN Don't worry about it, Jack.

    [pause] Actually.

    Ah, actually, ah, I thought we might ask Sarah. She lives here too, you know.

    Actually Jack, I wanted to have a word with you about something.

    Well, actually, his teacher said that he was so nervous that the fewer people there are there, the better.

    Actually, I wasn't looking for a dress.

    She's actually snubbed us!

    Actually, I'm going out to buy a Christmas present.

    Well, he hadn't actually started when I left, but I know he's got it all under control by now.

    I actually made it!

    Get a load of this...it's actually for Susan, a letter for Susan, just think.

    Why don't we say, when I get back...no, no...actually...no, I can't.

    Actually, the night she wore it, we went to the movies and then walked along the Santa Monica pier, so it has a sort of salty smell to it, like sea air.

    I haven't actually looked at it.

    Well, I'm, actually more used to cats.

    I'm, actually cooking.

  • Well, I'm actually looking for Sue.

    Actually, it was pretty boring.

    There are actually a couple inconsistencies, in the dates and amounts, that is.

    They're are actually sweeter in the winter time than they are in the summer.

    Actually, we're astronauts.

    You, couldn't, actually, hear what he was saying.

    You know, I've...I've actually been wanting to do this for a long time.

    Actually, so...this is my, this is my last night. I just wanted to let you know.

    I don't actually recall considering that option at all!

    Actually, um, do you have any wine?

    You know, you really have no idea what it's like until you actually do it. It's really an emotional roller-coaster.

    Actually, the family name wasn't originally Chang.

    I actually had a little thing with her for a while.

    Actually I'm in kind of a weird mood.

    He then opens the coconut, which is actually a bomb disguised as a coconut. As he is opening it, it blows up. End of story.

    Actually, now that some time has passed, I really don't hold a grudge against him anymore.

    Actually, my sister went to college with her, but she's kind of a friend of mine also.

    Actually, I was born there.

    Well, actually, I grew up in books.

  • You can see from these EEG's, this chart here which is actually of my own head ...

    Actually, maybe the person could still be in the place.

    Look, the fact that she sought medication, no matter how dubious, was actually a positive sign.

    Actually its standard issue.

    This was handled without our actually meeting each other and I ...

    He lifts is hand to his head as if to adjust his glasses but he is actually moving the microphone under his shirt sleeve closer to his mouth so he can speak clearly to it.

    We see Susan, but it is actually Rebecca dressed as Susan.

    Actually it was you I was looking for.

    Afraid

    I'm afraid the position we're offering's rather a junior one, though.

    Uh...there's been a miscalculation I'm afraid.

    There's been an administrative error, I'm afraid.

    I was afraid they'd destroy what they didn't understand.

    They want a woman who is their intellectual equal but they're afraid of women like that.

    Was she afraid of Billy?

    (mocking) Oh, Daddy, I'm so afraid.

    But still I'm afraid to tell her of my fantasies and my nightmares.

    You know I had to get away, I was afraid.

  • Come on, what's there to be afraid of?

    I'm afraid I'm going to run into a thumbtack.

    Hal is only afraid of one man, he told me once.

    Don't be afraid.

    I'm afraid I've got my heart set on it.

    We're afraid that the truth might never come out.

    They move so slowly when they're not afraid.

    Agree

    They'll never agree to it.

    And Jerry's agreed to this, has he?

    She agreed to stay on.

    Well, under the terms of your tenancy agreement you have to leave.

    I'm inclined to agree.

    Grant made an agreement with Mr. Smith.

    He's agreed to testify?

    Mr. Svengali has graciously agreed to read to us his latest work.

    Don't you agree?

    I am unable to sign the agreement at this time.

    I'm glad you agreed to see me, Mr. Bogdanovich.

  • We had an agreement.

    I want to take care of everything we agreed to.

    I thought we'd agreed to be just friends.

    A Little

    He's a serious guy, always seems a little embarrassed, wears casual clothes and a jean jacket.

    I mean...I know I was a little shakey at first, but I...I think I'm a pretty good at it now.

    There's a little kid here who'd love to meet you.

    Gee, Sarah, I think you're being a little hard on the old man.

    Well, I think she's a little busy right now, getting ready to wing it on live TV, but I think we could schedule you in a little bit later.

    Well, I don't know if you've heard, but I need a little bit of help at the office.

    He has a little ring case he looks at.

    He's a little angry about what you said.

    Is one of you perhaps pushing the other a little.

    BOB Are you hungry? TERRY Mmm, a little, I guess.

    She seems a little distracted. Doesn't seem to be able to focus on her work recently.

    I guess I'm a little nervous about being on TV, that's all.

    If she spots a little bit of dirt, poof! it's gone!

  • Just a little contribution.

    That one a little too difficult?

    Don't you think you're being a little childish?

    Well, let's say you're, um, a little, set in your ways.

    [a little smug] It had to come out sooner or later.

    [chuckling a little] Look, um, if I didn't, seem very excited in there don't be mad, okay?

    She's young, a little proud, a little determined, nothing that time won't cure.

    PHIL [a little determined] Well, you're the one who's gonna be livin' with her.

    We normally have a little celebration after the football game. You're welcome to come, if you're free.

    [takes it] A little bit of that for me, please.

    [grabs her coat and leaves] [IAN sits, looks dejected, a little ashamed.] [The Fowlers' living room.

    Are you feeling a little lonely?

    She's been acting a little crazy ever since Hal left her.

    I'm a little concerned about the baby? When they're having those heated arguments where is he?

    That's a little out there for me. You'll have to explain.

    Aren't you a little bit intimidated?

    How about a little Edith Piaf?

    Yeah, everybody likes a good rice dish.

    A little reading, just light...light reading.

  • Oo, uh I'm just gonna sit here for a little while and try to calm down,

    Okay, it's all a li--it's a little overwhelming.

    If we can just go a little more slowly, I'd be more comfortable.

    You know...I think you should be a little more sensitive about this whole thing. She is a woman, you know.

    Maybe a little too good.

    [anxiously] Well, Robert is going to make a little announcement, that we're all going to listen carefully to and then react calmly to.

    Okay, see you in a little bit.

    Sally, too, had found a home, and even a little self-respect.

    Give me a day or so, it's going to take me a little while to think this all out.

    She seemed a little awkward, didn't she?

    There's a little something I'd like to say.

    I should have dragged it out a little.

    Let me tell you a little bit about our organization.

    Of course, his pectorals could use a little work.

    I'm thinking of letting my sideburns grow a little..

    Isn't that a little racist?

    I don't know, Mike, to me it sounds a little, how would you say...unrefined?

    I actually had a little thing with her for a while.

    Lets have a little chat with those two fellows over there.

  • (sarcastically) Just a little pick me up before home room.

    On the way home I stopped at a little place called the Captain's Inn and had a slice of Lemon Meringue Pie, hmmm! It was wonderful.

    Tony seems to have little more hutzpah, wouldn't you say?

    Put a little air in the back tire.

    There's liable to be a little trouble this evening.

    Sam laughs a little and then tries to shake it off.

    Wide-eyed and still a little stunned he slowly backs up toward the door.

    This will take a little while to sink in I suppose.

    The owner was a little disappointed in your performance last night.

    To be perfectly honest I think I'm in a little over my head.

    I could use a little expert guidance.

    Just having a little fun.

    I guess I'm a little late.

    Maybe next time you'll ask for a little help.

    Ah but first a little music.

    The steak's just a little bit overdone.

    He's a little apprehensive as she approaches but she runs up to him and gives him a big hug.

    She is a little embarrassed by it after she notices that she was being watched.

    She is a little confused by his actions.

  • I've been feeling a little high strung lately.

    Maybe you should have a little talk with Jack.

    I guess my plans are a little up in the air.

    Well Audrey, to be perfectly honest, I'm tired and a little on edge.

    I'm going to let you in on a little secret.

    A little unsure she pauses and reconsiders what she is about to do.

    With a little luck you just might make the team.

    Allowed to

    LARRY That you're not allowed to have a script.

    KRAMER I thought I wasn't allowed to be in here this weekend..

    A Lot

    I think that you called you right after he got off the plane to see how you were, I think says a lot.

    A lot of them don't realize they're going to be out of a job pretty soon.

    [sarcastically] Thanks a lot.

    You know, it would be a lot easier if you just left me alone.

  • His father means a lot to him, doesn't he?

    You seem a lot better.

    I feel a lot better now that we're finished.

    [chuckles] A lot you know...that's the Mayor.

    It's a lot to take on...all this work.

    There'll be a lot of people there at the wedding..

    She's, just got a lot to learn, that's all.

    I forgot, you knew her a lot better than I did.

    I'm afraid there's a lot to think about, isn't there..

    [sincerely] Thanks a lot, Ron.

    Hey, you've really done a good job, a lot better than I ever could when I was your age.

    Not a lot..

    Sam's been out quite a lot, lately..hasn't he?

    I thought about you a lot while you were gone.

    He's sure got a lot to answer for.

    You're looking a lot better than when I saw you last.

    Yeah, I've been doing a lot of that lately.

    Look, I know it's a lot to put up with, but please, don't go.

    I'll be stuck alone with the kids all day, thanks a lot!

    It could have been a lot worse.

  • 'Cause I know a lot o' nasty bastards, Ian.

    I'm feeling a lot better now, thanks.

    There are a lot of reasons, really..

    She's wearing a pink plastic poncho and her hair is in a lot of thin braids.

    I mean, you know, we've had a lot of fun together, and I'll always love her, but I guess she wasn't the person I saw myself marrying.

    Hey, thanks a lot for helping out.

    He must be on the road a lot.

    Otherwise, a lot of bad writers would be waiting tables.

    Guys who write tell-all books tend to get sued a lot.

    People have to know how to drive a lot of machines!

    A lot of surprises in this neighborhood!

    And a lot of it, is inside yourself...the way you think and behave.

    It's just a lot of talk, that's all it really is.

    He travels a lot.

    We've got a lot to talk about.

    In case you didn't realize, Danny is in a lot of trouble.

    You've been through a lot today.

    That's a lot of girl scout cookies.

    Christy sure said a lot of nutty stuff, didn't she.

  • I'm sure I'll be put into situations a lot more dangerous then this on a fairly regular basis.

    Gentlemen, I've been giving this a lot of thought.

    Leo lost a lot of blood, most of it before we had a chance to operate.

    It's a lot of money Shelly.

    I have a lot of bills I have to pay.

    And a good review from him and his paper could give us a lot of business.

    You two should have a lot in common.

    We need a lot stronger evidence than this.

    I've got a lot of cutting and pasting to do gentlemen so please why don't you return to your porch rockers and resume whittling.

    Any chance

    Any chance of a bit of breakfast?

    That report I gave you to read...you didn't leave it at home by any chance, did you?

    Look...I'm sorry, I can't stop, any chance of fitting me in this afternoon?

    Any chance of it turning up before I leave?

    I don't suppose there's any chance of you and I...like going out...on a date?

    Appreciate

  • I've never asked for favors.

    [shaking his hand] The country, appreciates your help son.

    You know, I really appreciate what you've been doing.

    I don't think he'd appreciate it much, either.

    I appreciate it.

    [standing] [as she's turning and leaving] The thought was appreciated all the same.

    Oh, I really appreciate this.

    Well, it's very much appreciated, isn't it, Arthur?

    You wouldn't appreciate it because you're a straight man living in a world that's mostly straight!

    I appreciate your work, Mr. Smith.

    And I appreciate your business.

    Rowdies drinking and whooping it up...they don't appreciate that they're not in a bar.

    I mean, I, I let men know how much I disapprove of: liquor and tobacco, playing cards, and I make it very clear that I'm striving to be a virtuous woman... and I'm expecting nothing less from them, and...you would think they'd appreciate that.

    I appreciate the offer.

    I really appreciate it.

    I'm gonna tell everyone how much I've appreciated your support.

    You know that I'm a gigantic fan and really appreciate you coming here tonight.

    Oh, I sure do appreciate the ride Harry.

    Well, I always appreciate your company.

  • Well anyway, if you could mail it to her I'd really appreciate it.

    I appreciate your position, but this thing with Laura, how could I anticipate that kind of thing.

    We appreciate and understand the value of your work but as their representative I have to show a little discretion in everything I say and do.

    I'm sure Hank appreciates your unwavering devotion.

    I don't appreciate your attitude.

    At Least

    The kids wear at least two shirts each, and long pants and tall rubber boots.

    At least you're honest.

    She accused me of throwing people out on the street, but uh, well, at least she's coming around to her senses now.

    At least, we won't pretend we don't know anymore.

    I want him to be there or at least know where he is.

    At least you were there for him.

    I thought at least someone would be happy about it.

    You've at least got family.

    Then at least you'll know.

    At least phone your mother.

    So, at least you made a start, {ordering} our food.

    At least try...at least make a go of it!

  • It was the biggest mistake in the history of the world...at least let me finish.

    At least they're going then.

    Well, at least he gave it a shot, didn't he.

    At least you had a go, eh?

    Well, at least he did that.

    At least he's different. It's nice to have someone a little different around.

    I can stay and at least show her the sort of stuff I'm made of.

    Nobody's seen him for at least a day...a day and a half.

    At least we know what we sought in the beginning.

    We got at least twenty minutes before that bomb explodes.

    By The Way

    And I think...by the way...we're a superstar short.

    By the way Dick, did you notice the picture of Ed's truck on that page?

    Sam looks at her, bothered by the way she addressed him.

    Can I

  • What can I bring you?

    Can I ask you a question?

    What can I get you?

    Can I get you a drink?

    Can I get you a drink while you're waiting?

    Can I have a word with you, please?

    Can I keep him Mom?

    Can I come with him?

    Can I go and play on the swings?

    Can I come in?

    How can I resist?

    I can't hide forever, can I?

    I can't take my eyes off you, can I?

    Well, what can I do?

    I can't have her knowing that, can I?

    How can I?

    Can I have some toast and a cup of coffee?

    I mean I...I can't let you do everything by yourself, can I?

    I can if I want.

    But what can I do about it?

  • You know what they say, "If it's not true, it can't get to you, can it?"

    Can I have a word you?

    Well you can imagine the mix-ups.

    What can I say, I didn't do it!

    TOUR GUIDE [testy] Can I continue the tour?

    What can I do for you, Mary?

    Can I ask you something?

    Can I have some fruit?

    Can I be honest with you?

    Ten years, can I say it: ten years.

    You need that manuscript or can I take it home?

    Can I sit here?

    Can I get you anything to go with that, Sheriff?

    Can I ask her about it?

    Can I have your attention?

    If you can imagine the impact on your chest of three bowling balls dropped from the height of about nine feet, you might began to approximate the sensation.

    How simple can I make it?

    Listen, can I use your station wagon?

    Can I go now?

  • What can I do for you?

    Can I get a cup of coffee to go?

    Can I come in and talk?

    Can I ask you something?

    Worse then any of us can imagine.

    Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention please.

    Can I have your attention.

    Can't Quite

    [sigh...frustrated] I can't...I can't quite get it.

    He just can't quite do it yet.

    Can You

    Hello, can you talk.

    And can you be sure that you'd be able to provide the same care that they're receiving?

    How can you know if it helps or not?

    Heh...can you hold on a moment?

    [nervous/testy] Well, can you just go and count sheep or robocops or whatever it is that makes you konk out, Robbie?

    We are really busy, now can you see to Mrs.....what's-her-name?

  • I mean, how can you order wine, when you don't know what the meal is?

    Where else can you find a chair with a cup holder in the armrest?

    Can you believe it?

    Can you guys hear me okay?

    Can you relax?

    [snort] Can you believe it?

    Can you believe this woman?

    [leaving] Can you believe that?

    What can you say about a girl like Susie?

    Can you come give me a hand please?

    Can you reach him?

    Jack, can you remember, did she make or receive any phone calls?

    Can you tell me how long she's had that dog?

    Can you recommend a good, inexpensive hotel or motel?

    Can you see through walls?

    Can you see through human skin?

    Can you hear me?

    [over the phone] It's Jack, can you hear me?

    Can you tell me when she'll be back?

    Can you hear it?

  • Well Susie, can you tell me exactly what you do want?

    [to the bartender] Sid, can you fix us up with three black Yukon sucker punches?

    Can you get me out of here?

    Can you count to ten?

    Can you beat that?

    We're in sync now Jack can you feel it?

    Can you or can't you?

    Can you believe it?

    Concern

    Jeff is concerned about Sarah's toothache.

    I want you to know, that as far as I'm concerned, this is for life.

    As far as I'm concerned, Jeff's my dad.

    The only leak you should be concerned about is the one to the press if you don't cooperate.

    Joe turns to look at Steph with a concerned look.

    Now, when I first spoke to Sue he was naturally very concerned about the quality of air.

    The agent said that Catherine was concerned about certain irregularities, such as Hal being named chief beneficiary.

  • Consider

    Consider it done.

    He told me he'd consider it a personal favor if I clipped LaGuino..

    She's really quite tall especially when you consider how short her parents are.

    He's really a man of quite considerable size.

    Julie considers the implications.

    Would you reconsider?

    All things considered, being shot is not as bad as I always thought it might be.

    Well considering all you've been through, I guess it's not that bad.

    Clinton again considers what to do based on the disclosure by Monica Lewinsky.

    Well, considering Pauline's position, I think it's best if she keeps a low-profile.

    Not such a bad way to go, all things considered.

    I will take it into consideration.

    Unsure, considering the impact of Sam's story, Terry starts scratching her head...

    I'll consider it.

    I must insist that we consider the feelings of the Smith family as well.

    With your behavior towards these good people, consider yourself lucky I do not file a report of my own that could bury you in the building so deep in Washington you'd never see the sun.

  • Could Have

    Do you think I could have my old room back for a while?

    All of this could have been yours, the farm, the diner, the factory...but you're too late.

    You went for the hunky moving man when you could have married the exec.

    He could have behaved normally.

    I'm not sure I would have done the same.

    I wished I could have cracked the OJ Simpson case.

    Thanks, think I could have a booth?

    Mr. Jackson, Mr. Smith, if I could have the pleasure of your company.

    I wished I could have seen Jack's face when Terry told him.

    Could I

    Boy, could I use a shower!

    Listen, I don't suppose I could borrow your iron, could I, because uh, Dave broke ours.

    Well, you're still welcome to change your mind--you could invite Jules as well, eh?

    What could I do to prove it to you?

    What else could I say?

    Uh--how could it be worse?

    What could I do to help?

    [dry throat] Could I have another glass of water please?

  • POLICE OFFICER Could I speak to you for a moment please?

    Could I see her?

    Could I speak to Tom Smith please?

    How could I anticipate that kind of thing?

    Could I have a cup of coffee please?

    Could I see you in my office for five minutes?

    Could You

    You don't think you could put them somewhere else?

    How could you keep a straight face?

    MICHELLE: I know how you feel, Sharon... SHARON: How could you possibly know?

    Bob, could you go and finish cutting the vegetables?

    Uh, Steve, could you open the door?

    [accusing] You couldn't wait, could you?

    Oh, water with a wedge of lemon, please... oh, and could you tell your, cook to fight his urge to, roll it in bread crumbs and boil it in oil?

    Could you be mine. Could you be mine. I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood With you, so Let's make the most of this beautiful day Since we're together, We might as well say, "Would you be mine, could you be mine,

  • Won't you be, my neighbor? Won't you please? (Mister Rogers is a show for children in the United States that has played for over 30 years. Mister Rogers sings this song all the time.)

    Uh, could you wait, and watch it with us?

    Could you give me a hand?

    Yeah, but how could you be so sure?

    [sad and dismayed] "How could you say that to me?" [she cries]

    And could you ask Norma to stop by a second, Shelly?

    SHARON: And to leave it lying around here in the first place, how stupid could you get?! MICHELLE: Oh, come on!

    If you see Donna could you give this to her?

    How could you? How could you think of such terrible things?

    Shelly, could you get Mr. Smith?

    Could you go slower?

    Dick, could you come with me please?

    Andy, could you go to 7-11 and get me some twine?...I mean wine.

    Could you hold this for a second?

    Harry, could you give me a leg up here?

  • Decide

    Jackie and I decided to go on that trip this summer.

    What would you say if we said we'd decided to let you go on your trip?

    What if Rose wakes up tomorrow morning, and decides that, no, she doesn't want to have a baby: what would you do then, Tony?

    I think that's for me and Terry to decide, don't you?

    No, I decided not to, not with the way my luck goes.

    Oh I don't know, I'll let you decide.

    I have decided it was a good idea, coming to the beach this summer that is.

    I decided I want to try and work things out with my boss.

    [sits in a throne-like red chair, wryly reading] "When the world's most eligible bachelor finally decided to marry, many hoped it would be to someone who looked more like Jackie O." [wry] Thank god for the Kennedys.

    The place had taken on a decidedly feminine air.

    You've decided to go?

    She decided to let it drop.

    I've decided to form a charitable foundation in Pauline's honor.

    I've decided today, in the light of what has happened, all work here will stop.

    Since our cash cow in the other room has turned into a sink hole, I've decided to pursue a career in business.

    That's for a court to decide.

    Because of my financial difficulties I have decided to end it all tonight.

  • I've decided I want to help you with the family business.

    Deserve

    He deserves it all right.

    Well, it's no more than she deserves.

    I think she deserves it.

    You didn't deserve this.

    Look, I'm sorry...he doesn't deserve it, whatever he's doing.

    You said yourself she doesn't deserve this!

    Whatever she's done, she doesn't deserve this.

    Well, whatever I've done, I don't deserve this!

    Now, you're gonna go back in there, and you're gonna stop behaving like a spoiled little brat, and you're gonna treat Pauline with the respect she deserves, all right?

    Well, I think you're a great girl, and you deserve, to be happy.

    You deserve flowers every day..

    I deserve weeds.

    I will handle it, you will get the job interview you so richly deserve.

  • Doubt

    I don't doubt it..

    She's doubtful, noncommittal.

    Well, I never doubted it for a minute.

    I doubt that.

    I doubt you'd know what that was.

    I doubt you ever can.

    She doesn't seem to notice Joe's hidden doubts.

    I doubt it will work.

    I doubt I'll ever find another Pauline..

    No, I doubt it.

    I doubt if all of them'll see another Christmas.

    I seriously doubt it.

    Without a doubt!

    I had one small doubt which he cleared up for me.

    This mill fire will no doubt put the contract signing on hold for the moment.

    I doubt that any one of us is a stranger to grief.

  • Else

    Ask somebody else.

    I don't know what else to do. I've run out of options.

    I have nothing else to say.

    Where else can we look?

    Would you like anything else?

    Nobody else is here.

    She ignored everything else.

    I don't where else to look.

    Couldn't decide how else it could be done.

    Leave or else he'll get angry.

    Watch your step or else you might fall.

    Or else she might do something silly.

    And right now, people are looking for someone else to blame for everything.

    No one else is in the shop.

    [keeping calm] Did he take anything else?

    I'm no worse off than anyone else in this place.

    I could of been adopted by someone else and had a whole different life..

    She's just something else, isn't she?

    What else are we going to do?

  • Well, why should everyone else pay and not us?

    What else would people around here do if they didn't do that?

    You and Tom, because everyone else is gonna be here!

    Bring a bottle and anyone else you want to.

    Oh, well, what else is there to do apart from get drunk?

    Yeah, but that someone else was my brother.

    No one else could see what the big deal was and Jacky decided to go to bed, leave it for the morning.

    What else could I say.

    So it'll be some time before she gets everything else sorted out.

    Find somewhere else to live.

    Well, we'll just have to think of something else to do, won't we?

    I've got something else to go with it.

    He's hoping you'll get so fed up that you'll find somewhere else to live.

    You got as much right to stay there as anyone else has.

    PHIL Anyone else for dessert?

    I'm, happy to hear somebody else isn't happy.

    Just let me know if I can do anything else for you.

    I see something else here.

    Well, where else can you find a chair with a cup holder in the armrest?

  • You turn up anything else?

    Somebody else you told this too?

    He got a contract from Sicily and had somebody else do the dirty work.

    Someone else do it. I'm tired.

    You know something else I'd like to do?...bungee jump.

    Whatever else you do with your money is okay if you get your mom a house first.

    Having run out of fresh, exciting, new ideas, I feel I should give somebody else a turn.

    No one else at school, or any of her friends knew about it.

    I got something else for you here. Some more work. Ten bucks an hour.

    Who knows what else is wrong.

    Who else is he dealing with?

    What else have you figured out Sherlock?

    I'm not really sure but nobody else knew about it.

    What else did she tell you?

    Nobody else is gonna say anything different.

    Enjoy

    I hope you enjoyed your breakfast.

    Did you and Robbie enjoy your trip then?

    You must have enjoyed it.

  • Enjoy your swim?

    Pauline was just saying how much she enjoyed it.

    I really enjoyed myself this afternoon.

    I really enjoyed it.

    I think she's enjoying herself.

    I'm glad you enjoyed it.

    The only thing that matters is that you're enjoying yourself.

    She really enjoyed you being here today.

    Anyway, I enjoy them.

    Did you enjoy yourself yesterday?

    She wants us to enjoy ourselves.

    Well, the only thing I'm gonna enjoy is the taxi home.

    I really want him to enjoy tonight.

    Bill's clearly talked himself out of any prospect of it being an enjoyable evening. He's downing glass after after glass of Tequila all by himself in a big lounge chair over in the corner.

    [sigh] I thought we were meant to be enjoying ourselves.

    Knowing that everything is fine here on the home front, your mother and I are really gonna enjoy this cruise.

    And he closes the boxes so the peanut butter can be sent to the stores, where people can buy it, and enjoy it.

    Another man at the other side of the taping machine is stacking the boxes on a pallet for shipping.

  • STACKER Enjoy it is right. We sell more of this stuff in a week than the rest of the store combined.

    Do you think your grandchildren would enjoy seeing this?

    I'm glad you enjoyed it.

    Although the townspeople were not trained marksmen, they enjoyed both the element of surprise and numerical superiority.

    This has been one of the single most enjoyable experiences of my life.

    I enjoy its precision.

    I always enjoy our talks in the yard, man-to-man, prisoner-to-prisoner.

    She said it was a very enjoyable experience.

    You've been a good vehicle and I've enjoyed the ride but now you're weak and full of holes.

    She's enjoyed the confrontation and smiles as she leaves.

    Even If

    [irritated] Well even if he was, what's it got to do with you?

    And even if they do, half of them run away, don't they?

    Look, even if someone did want LaGuino dead, I mean, the idea that they would trust Dimaggio with doing it?

    Even if it isn't easy to talk about, we have to talk about it.

    Even if it was only a dream, I hope he heard me.

    Even if it sounds a little weird, I have to tell you.

  • Exactly

    So what exactly did happen between you and Sandy?

    It's not exactly what I was looking for but it will do.

    That's exactly what we should be doing.

    She's the type of girl who'll learn exactly what she wants to.

    Well, that's exactly what I mean!

    Now that we've sorted everything out and know exactly where we stand, let's get on with it.

    What exactly did he say to you?

    Well, spending Christmas dinner with your woman's ex-boyfriend isn't exactly what I planned.

    I thought I knew exactly what I was gonna say.

    That's exactly what I mean.

    Working in a 7-11 ain't exactly my life's ambition, I do it because I have to! I got a child to support.

    Those children are exactly like her!

    That's, exactly what I want. The cuffs should be just a bit higher.

    Describe exactly what you did.

    And people can like you exactly as you are.

    That's exactly what it was.

    Well, uh, Calculus is not exactly one of my strong points.

  • I don't know exactly what I'm going to do without you.

    Well, er...I got confused, they sound exactly the same.

    Not exactly, but she said she couldn't see me anymore.

    What exactly are you saying?

    Well, they didn't say exactly who it was they were talking about.

    Oh, I couldn't tell you exactly ...

    Which didn't exactly please his sister.

    They're exactly the same.

    Well Tom, can you tell me exactly what you do want?

    Look, the insurance companies don't exactly payoff like the slots you know.

    Put that bottle back exactly where it was!

    You said you and Tammy weren't exactly friends.

    That's exactly the way we like it out here.

    I know exactly where to start.

    Now Shelly do exactly what we said and everything is gonna be fine.

    I couldn't hear exactly, but they did seem to be arguing about her and then they drove off together.

    It looks exactly like the one in the photograph.

  • Extremely

    The disappearance of my former partner is extremely troubling.

    Please, this is extremely personal business. Would you mind stepping out of the room for a moment?

    An extremely spiritual country, for centuries the leader of Tibet has been known as the Dalai Lama.

    I'm going to make it extremely simple for you.

    Fact

    It's just the fact that you're here to say it that makes me feel better.

    In fact, you should be ashamed of yourself.

    The fact that he controls a criminal organization speaks for itself.

    The fact that the right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing is immaterial.

    In fact, it's downright mean.

    Sad fact was, Sue never really like George.

    And, I almost lost sight of the fact that, uh, I, I almost lost him...so anyway.

    Besides the fact that he is such a talented man, he's also been a good friend to me.

    I mean, maybe it was somebody who, didn't wanna talk to whoever was answering because whoever was answering was always making boring chit-chat and was completely oblivious to the fact that the person who was calling didn't want to speak to them, ah!

    Rebellion in a young man your age is a necessary fact of life, and, candidly, a sign of strength.

  • That she had in fact arrived at the point of no return was really beyond her comprehension or grasp of the facts.

    I, in fact, had been born and raised there.

    As a matter of fact I do.

    As a matter of fact I already have some.

    In 1950, Communist China invaded Tibet and while leaving the Dalai Lama nominally in charge, they in fact seized control of the entire country.

    Look, the fact that she sought a medical opinion at all speaks highly of her.

    For which in fact you were responsible.

    This fact could be discovered easily by a quick perusal of documents.

    Fairly

    They keep their voices fairly low.

    I'm sure I'll be put into situations a lot more dangerous then this on a fairly regular basis.

    Far Too

    You're right. It's far too early to try and speak to her.

    Favor

    Troop 555 never asks for favors, but they do appreciate them.

    Chocolate chip, my favorite!

  • This is my favorite game!

    I got your favorite: quattro fromaggio with baby broccoli.

    He told me he'd consider it a personal favor if I clipped Lagrassa..

    All in favor raise their hands?

    Do me a favor, just forget I ever brought it up?

    My favorite blue shirt.

    Will you do me a favor?

    I need a favor.

    That's my most favorite gum in the world.

    The old man told me that my favorite gum was coming back into style.

    Find Out

    Let's find out what the score is first, all right?

    I don't know what Grant's going to find out.

    Did you find out anything?

    Find out what happens at the meeting.

    We'll have to find out what he wants to do.

    What about that other guy, did you ever find out about him?

    No one would find out!

    I'm gonna find out who he is, where he lives.

  • He might find out.

    People treat you differently when they find out.

    We got two days to find out.

    How do people find out so quickly?

    Bert: Find out? What do you mean? I'm not hiding anything. Ernie: Oh, yes you are.

    I got to find out what kind of trees these are.

    Let's get started on a court order to open that safety deposit box and maybe we'll both find out a few things about who he really is.

    We'll find out when we get there.

    What did you find out from her parents?

    You find out your old lady's been giving it away.

    If you won't tell us, we can find out.

    Audrey, I'll help you but whatever we find out we have to promise to keep it between ourselves.

    Then we get married and I find out all he was looking for was a maid he didn't have to pay.

    We're going to find out who did it.

    I need you to find out something for me.

    How did they find out about it?

    Guess I'm gonna have to find out.

  • Free

    He continues to eat the danish with his free hand.

    I suppose you're wondering what I do in my free time.

    A colony of free thinkers, of artists.

    You free for dinner tonight?

    I have some free time, let's get together.

    He slaps the brush against the wall to free it of dust.

    Terry struggles to free himself from Blair's grip but the cop also grabs him and holds him.

    You lookin' for a free lunch?

    She wiggles as she tries to free herself.

    Got

    They've got about 90 movies a month for about 30 cents each.

    Got any money?

    So if it looks like you're going to be...held up, make sure you've got a Phone Card.

    We got a real great deal, we're flying stand-by on a courier flight.

    You know, I got one you can plug into the cigarette lighter in your car..

    What's got into him?

    They kicked him out after he got drunk and rowdy!

    You know, for once we both got what we wanted.

  • Well it's hardly as if that part-time mechanic you've got is any good.

    Got a minute?

    Yeah, well, once they've got a mind of their own, there's not much you can do about it.

    No one got the ice buckets ready while I was gone?

    I tell you, he's got this mechanic, Paul, all right, made out to be like a member of a formula one Pit Stop crew.

    Well, I got a better offer, didn't I?

    Yeah, I mean, he's got Grant staying with him, doesn't he.

    She got no business being there anyway.

    Are you saying I can't have this job because I've got children?

    Mom, I'm all Sharon's got right now.

    I got Mom on my back, too.

    I don't wanna take advantage; so I'm got meself together.

    Listen, I've got myself somewhere to live and I've got myself a job, so stop whineing, okay.

    See, we've only just got our dog, and if he went for ya, I wouldn't be able to control him.

    Now we got Mom to deal with.

    Looks like you got company.

    We got nothing to say to each other, all right.

    Oh, no, you got a delivery this morning, remember?

    Don't you think I've got enough to worry about without you losing your job as well?

  • [calling from the freezer down in the basemen] Got it.

    Yeah, I'd love to, but I've got a bit too much on today.

    Got one of them faces that just looks naturally guilty.

    Listen, I better get back to work while I've still got a job.

    You got a message.

    My father's got a pub in Santa Monica.

    Well, you got that bit right.

    Listen now, you got Ted's number?

    He's got a load of calls to make or something.

    [irritated] Well even if he was, what's it got to do with you?

    No, I know it's got nothing to do with me but he is my friend, isn't he?

    [impatient] What's that got to do with anything?

    You got me. I have no idea what happened.

    Still got a bee in his bonnet, has he?

    Well, it took me quite a while to get a word in edgewise, but I think I got through in the end.

    No thanks, I've already got one.

    I just got the news.

    The only difference is that I've got a reasonable idea of what we can accomplish in one week.

    Well, he's got us, we'll get him through...somehow.

  • They're sitting in the living room. Bob has gone and got drinks for them all.

    I got to be very fond of Jill over time.

    All right, look, I got things to do with my time.

    She's, just got a lot to learn, that's all.

    Well, he's got a bit of cash floating around somewhere, doesn't he?

    I got something special for you, a little treat.

    Have you got a full driver's license?

    She's lucky she's got you, mate.

    You don't know what you've got 'til you lose it.

    [sigh] Not got anyone to go out with really, though.

    Dan, you got a minute.

    I think it would be nice if we sorted it out together and got her something really special.

    I really can't think about this, I got other things on my mind.

    A, well I think we got quite a bit to talk about, then haven't we?

    We've got a few of our men working on it this very moment.

    Not if you got a chance to make it work.

    I've got a number here.

    No, no, I couldn't of got through the day without you.

    You've got to mellow out a bit.

    I couldn't have got through even if I had tried. Yesterday was a holiday.

  • I got you a drink..

    Probably got his life just the way he wants it now.

    I just got back from the licensing session.

    Lucky I've got you, then.

    I've got a menu somewhere.

    You've got the rest of your life to recover.

    What has he got between his ears.

    He's got a half a pound of shrapnel lodged in his head. Pretty sad, really.

    No thanks, got wine.

    I've got a business to run..

    Listen, what we do has got nothing to do with you..

    Got any suggestions?

    He's got a lot to answer for..

    You've at least got family.

    It's time you got out, Sharon.

    Well, Sally's got a message to your mother she wants to give you.

    I got the first plane back.

    Got a head like a baby's, you have.

    Got careless, I suppose.

    Then we got drunk...how could we get drunk?

  • You've got things to do, I've got things to do. So let's call it quits.

    I thought you'd got lost.

    You got time for a coffee?

    You got your answer now.

    Oh, you got plenty of grapes.

    Since we got together to work on this project, I really haven't seen much of him outside of work.

    Paul's just got back from his lunch break.

    I got a message from Michelle.

    You just haven't got a clue!

    Then Paul got Stan to say Sally forced herself on him and he couldn't say no.

    You've got a friend.

    He's got the radio playing as loud as it'll go. Would you tell him to turn it down a bit.

    I know we got off on the wrong foot, let's be friends again.

    I don't know what's got into you!

    And you got rid of all those cockroaches, I take it?

    I got some great new stock and a wonderful price on it.

    He's got other plans.

    Jack'll be wondering where I've got to, heh?

    Somebody's got to keep an eye on things, haven't they?

  • I don't know what's got into you all of a sudden.

    It's got nothing to do with me has it?

    I got such a good deal on all this new stock. I just had to buy it.

    Well, if ya hadn't of got mixed up with the likes of me. You would have been much better off.

    But we've only just got here.

    I'm sorry, but I've got a lot of stock to sort out and, uh, stock-taking, and I've got all these papers to go through for tomorrow...check out the figures and all that, so I'm going to have to take a raincheck. See you tommorrow.

    You're just going to sit here an' pretend it's got nothing to do with you?

    She blew it and now she's just got to face the consequences.

    What's got into you--of course I can afford it!

    I thought we'd got everything sorted out, that we were friends!

    She's got an orange scarf on and an ugly long, silver ski jacket.

    What to get the man who's got everything, eh?

    Who you got coming over?

    You've got enough on your plate.

    Look, you've got this all wrong, Dan. Trust me.

    I've got two kids asleep in the other room!

    When someone says they love you, it means you've got something they want or need.

    You've got no right to nag me about what I spend money on.

    I've got it all sorted out.

  • I ain't got time!

    CAROL Got Christmas Bonus today..

    Got a sec?

    Do you know how long that took me to get it like that? Now I've got to do it all over again!

    Dan's got a bit of a smug look on his face doesn't he.

    Then Grant got Phil to say Sharon forced herself on him and he couldn't say no.

    Well, he hadn't actually started when I left, but I know he's got it all under control now.

    I've got something for you, too.

    Yeah, you've got time now, I suppose.

    But I don't see as I've got much choice.

    We got nothing to say to each other.

    Well, I got friends from France coming to visit. We'll have to do it another time.

    I wonder if she's got Sam under the mistletoe yet.

    You've got to eat your liver!

    How long have I got to pay for it?

    You got any beer?

    You haven't got any rights.

    I got sick of watching you two slobbering all over each other.

    Have you got something against it.

  • I just got a job.

    She's got two layers of assorted long johns on and her hair's messed up and she looks tired.

    MOM Just go back to bed. TOMMY I've a got paper route to do in the morning!

    Let her say what she's got to say.

    She got off at five, didn't she?

    Everyone's got a right to know who their father is.

    Some of us have got work in the morning.

    You've got a great chance, Tom. Seize it while you can.

    [diplomatic] Look, we haven't got it with us, all right?

    It's because of the street party, everyone on this block's got a hangover!

    I haven't got anything yet.

    I'm not sure I've got it.

    She's got a dentist's appointment at lunchtime.

    Anyway, I got a while yet.

    I mean she hasn't even got a temporary license.

    If he's expecting me to lend him money again, he's got another think coming.

    I got a football match tonight.

    I got a few ideas.

    Even got the oranges for half-time.

  • Yeah, and I got the old uh, liquid refreshment, the beverages.

    I've got something else to go with it.

    Surprised you haven't got a pair of stilettos.

    I haven't got anywhere.

    You've got your home, don't you? Count your blessings.

    You got as much right to stay here as anyone else has.

    You got more right to stay there than he has.

    Jack's just got himself another beer.

    I've got every right to be there, don't I?

    You're an adult now and that means you've got to start contributing to your keep.

    [He's got her breakfast in bed on a tray.] Happy birthday!

    I mean, you ain't got many birthdays left, do you?

    What you got planned for today, then?

    I've got an incentive now, anyway.

    You've just got no idea, have you?

    Oh, no, it's just I've gotta get back, I, got things to do, all right?

    Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a business to run.

    I'm just saying I got plans, that's all!

    I wish I'd got you to do it the last time.

    Yeah, all right, but I haven't got it on me, have I?

  • I got as much right to be here as you have.

    Anyway, we got ages yet.

    We got time.

    Yeah, and we got a new assistant starting next week.

    Wanted to know if you fancied a drink tonight, you know, now you've got the house to yourself.

    Jack got it for me.

    Now I got two words for you, you slippery little git: Try Harder.

    I don't think he got the message.

    Uh, I got them for free, so just the three dollar handling charge.

    I hope this is a special deck, because once I got my fortune told by a regular deck and I ended up inheriting 52 bicycles.

    I got sweaters and water and snacks from the car.

    [telephone rings] I got it.

    Nah, I don't mind a parking ticket, it goes with the speeding ticket I got on the way here.

    But then Child Welfare got involved.

    What ya got there?

    I just got scared, I guess.

    I just got nervous.

    He sounds like he's got a stuffy nose.

    I got your favorite: chocolate mint chip.

  • I've got people to meet in the city, so if we're done?

    He just got homesick.

    This guy Hall got hit?

    Bang! bang! Got ya!

    I got my teeth capped last year.

    He got a contract from Sicily and had somebody else do the dirty work.

    We got two days to find out.

    He's got a notebook and is wearing a leisure suit and patterned gray shirt.

    [exasperated sigh] Sally got fed up with it and dropped out.

    Hey, I got a big day tomorrow.

    What's got into him?

    He got it from the writer in the restaurant.

    I got in his face: "Faccia a faccia." I told him that I was the daughter, of Paulo Luigi, the bannana king, and I shot him like the dog that he was.

    Now that I've got your attention, I want to ask you a few questions.

    Maybe my parents wouldn't go to work if I got sick.

    Eh, what have you got those toilets over there for.

    You've got it.

    She stopped the car and got out.

    Jack's got a fire lit. Let's go over there and get warm.

  • People are like shoes: everybody's got a mate somewhere.

    I got peanut butter and jelly, tuna fish, and one cream cheese.

    If you've got a terrible toothache why don't you go home?

    Well, a fella like you who's got experience should have no problem finding a better job.

    I've got a terrible heartache.

    I got so screwed up I let it affect my work I.

    I've got no future working here.

    I just got a call from the hospital.

    Real good, we almost got it.

    He's got Nothing on me.

    You got me.

    [Cher] You've got me, babe.

    I understand you've got something you would like to share with us.

    She's got like a real warmth about her and she's really bright and really pretty, and what else could you ask for?

    I mean, come on, you got a tee-shirt with blood stains all over it, maybe laundry isn't your biggest problem right now!

    I'm like a detective, I've got to pick up clues.

    She's got a new boyfriend: Jack.

    I got a message for you.

    I got nothin' to say.

  • He's got a bottle of water.

    You have got to let me talk to her!

    You got one already!

    No bets for me, I uh, I got a disease.

    He's got a real attitude.

    I got a hundred dollars in my front pocket if you want to, reach in and take it!

    I can't believe you got away with that!

    He's got emotional problems, it runs in the family.

    Now I got the rest of our day mapped out, lets meet back here in three minutes.

    I've got a call for you from a Mr. Smith.

    I already got it covered.

    Now before we get started, have you two fellas got your stories straight?

    We got places to go and people to see.

    I got Paul with me.

    I got up early like I always do.

    Got a call from a guy that works up at the mill.

    I've got to tank up when I get into town.

    I got to find out what kind of trees these are.

    There's a few things we got to get straight right off the bat.

    That will blow the whole deal, got it.

  • We got a situation on our hands.

    I've got a chocolate-peanut butter pie.

    Also I got the highest scores in mathematics and English this midseason term.

    I've got the list and map for Meals on Wheels.

    You got to pack all your cares away.

    I got so goofy last night, lying here wondering whether I was going to live or die, that I thought I saw a giant in my room.

    [on the phone] I'm in a meeting I've got to go.

    It really looks like you got yourself in a fix here, huh.

    She always got her way.

    I got it! Eureka!

    I just got a call from Hal at the office.

    Then we still got time?

    I think we're at the point were it would be healthier for everyone if you got what ever was bothering you out in the open.

    I've got a dangerous situation.

    I got to know.

    You think they got them at Cash and Carry?

    Well, we all got our job to do.

    We've got to find him.

    We've got the jump on them.

  • sometimes you've got to be tough with these things.

    You got to hit it hard.

    I've got to meet with this lawyer.

    Ted, I've got a problem here.

    I've got a proposition for you.

    You don't want to know how it got on to your plate.

    I got him.

    I've got a Tokyo fax waiting for me at the desk.

    But they got better.

    I got something for you.

    Got a light?

    You think you got problems?

    We got at least twenty minutes.

    She's got one big bee in her bonnet.

    We've got work to do.

    Got a minute?

    I've got good news!

    Oh, I've got compassion running out of my nose pal.

  • Grateful

    And I'll always be grateful for that.

    I'd think a, well educated young man would, be grateful to live in such a stimulating community..

    Great

    Isn't this great?

    We got a real great deal, we're flying stand-by on a courier flight.

    Great.

    They were a great couple.

    We had a great time.

    I've been swimming; I feel great.

    We've been chatting away about her holiday, the party, you and me getting married, and how great it was all gonna be, and I thought...

    It'd be great, wouldn't it?

    It's been great since Tim's been gone.

    I got some great new stock and a wonderful price on it.

    I think it's a great idea!

    Oh, that's great.

    It felt Great.

    [tongue-in-cheek] Yeah, yeah, great, yeah.

  • I do a great shepherd's pie.

    I just know this is a great opportunity for the both of us.

    This would be great for Terry.

    Like you said, it's a great opportunity.

    You've got a great chance, here, Sherry.

    It was great, wasn't it.

    It's a good present Jack, it's something that's special, something that you feel guilty about buying for yourself and that makes you feel great.

    It's gonna be great..

    Oh, that's great, isn't it kids? Look what Dad's brought home!

    You're doing great!

    She was a great landlady, wasn't she.

    That's really great.

    It'll be great.

    I think it's gonna be great.

    We're gonna have a great time.

    Oh no more thanks, it's great, thanks.

    Yeah, they're great..

    She was great.

    [happily agreeing] Oh, God, it's just great.

  • Look, there's no denying that Patrick is great.

    You look great..

    [hands his wife a glass of wine] It's great to finally be home.

    And it's a, great time to be an American.

    Great, I just uh--you know--it's so special, it took my breath away, you know.

    You have nothing to be scared of, it's gonna be great.

    Sally don't push this thing, okay, Hal and I are great friends, I don't want to ruin it.

    Thank you for being so great about this!

    I'm proud of you, you know, and I think it's great that you wanna be honest with everybody but...maybe just telling everybody all at once isn't the best way.

    All right, I have some great news, and it's something that I've wanted to tell you guys for a very loong, long-long, long-long time.

    Well, we could be great friends, though.

    What a great sound that instrument has.

    There are great opportunities for new talent in television.

    Tea is great.

    [Facetiously] Oh great, so why don't you just take your shoes off as well.

    God you look, you look great.

    Your hair looks great.

    Listen, have a great holiday.

    It's been great...fabulous stuff, fabulous stuff.

  • Great, tell me.

    Oh, she's really great.

    Oh, nothing happened, you know, but it was great.

    He's a great guy!

    These designs look great!

    Well, you two'll have a great time there.

    [smartalec] Great.

    I feel a great deal of sadness still, yes, but uh I've tried to forget by throwing myself into my work.

    A great load has been lifted from my heart.

    Each action contributing to the greater good.

    Uhm a cherry coke would be great.

    Yeah, yeah I had a great time, Mr...Smith was it?

    Chocolate chip sounds great.

    Nothing like a great cup of black coffee.

    They say this is going to be one of the great moments in the history of the world.

  • Guess

    I guess this is it.

    These guesses could be completely wrong.

    I guess you paid more attention than I thought.

    I guess so.

    Yeah, I guess I am.

    So I guess I'm the only clown who "worked the big top" last night..

    Guess who Sharon ran into out in the hall.

    Guess what?

    I guess I'd respect Ruth's wishes.

    I guess it's the price you pay..

    I guess so.

    You'll never guess what.

    At times I think there are fewer cameras than the first guess, so I put a range for the number of cameras.

    I can only guess..

    You'll uh, you'll probably guess what it is.

    You're just grumpy because you couldn't guess the right answer.

    So I guess calling the steak sandwich, "The Murderer's Hoagie," works well, huh?

    I mean, you know, Jackie and I had a lot of fun together, and I'll always love her, but I guess she wasn't the person I saw myself marrying.

  • I guess that's fair, I bought a hat with the money I was saving for your funeral.

    Guess what?

    Wow, well, I guess we know the rules: no boys in the house.

    I...I guess I just uh..uh...

    I guess they call it "Mom and Pop" because Mom's going to "pop" him one any second.

    I guess you're right.

    Guess who's inviting more people to the party tonight.

    Guess who's gonna make a beer run.

    Tim: Do you like it? Audrey: I guess I do.

    It's called a "peanut lei." I guess lei is another word for a necklace.

    I guess to protect his hands?

    Tim: Do you like it? [No answer] Tim: Guess not.

    No it was sort of...well, this is where you're gonna laugh... I guess you'd call it a, Lesbian thing.

    TRICIA Now he's leaving me so I guess I have no choice... NATHAN Yeah.

    Bring out our next guest, I guess this is where we're goin' to take a moment to, uh, hear from uh, hear a little word from our sponsor.

    I guess it's us!

    [waiting for their number to be called] I guess that's us!

    [Comes up behind a guy and covers his eyes] Guess who!

    [grudgingly] Yeah, I guess.

  • Well, I guess I just didn't realize it..

    Guess what!

    [To the answering machine] Oh, I guess you're not at home..

    I guess we, should just get this over with.

    I guess I never met Susie then, did I?

    Guess why I'm so happy today.

    Well, I guess you can go then.

    You'd never guess, there was a fish and a pond, two frogs, an old man with a fishing pole,...and...guess what else...

    It was Hillary Clinton in case you haven't guessed yet.

    But I guess you can say that about almost anything in life.

    Yeah, I guess I love you too.

    I guess it would be nice not to have to worry about money.

    I guess its a secret ...

    I guess my mind just wandered.

    I guess I was just selfish, I didn't think that other people might want some.

    Oh gosh gee-whiz I guess I kinda sorta did.

    I guess you don't get a whole lot of sleep at night then, huh?

    Well I guess that's not such a big secret.

    I guess my plans are a little up in the air.

  • (removes her jacket) I don't really know anybody in town except Aunt Sarah and Uncle Leland (takes a seat) and the mood at the house you can probably guess isn't that great right now.

    It would be my guess that there still remains a tremendous vestigial amount of interest in the legends and folklore of ancient Iceland, but mind you I'm only guessing now.

    I guess I feel I can say anything I want, whenever I want.

    Even the ones you barely knew, like something to hang on to I guess.

    I'm a little better at faces then names, I guess.

    Its John in case you haven't guessed.

    Guess I'll look in the other room.

    Guess I'm gonna have to find out.

    Hardly

    I can hardly wait for my mother to meet you.

    Well it's hardly as if that part-time mechanic you've got is any good.

    They could hardly hear the speaker.

    We hardly knew them.

    I had hardly rung the bell when the door flew open.

    He hardly ever goes fishing.

    He was hardly more than sixteen years old.

    They hardly ever used the room.

  • I mean, it's pretty obvious we hardly know anything right now.

    Oh, it's all right for you--you're hardly there now we got Jason.

    Look, I'm hardly in the position to tell you what to say, am I?

    It's hardly your fault, is it?

    Not if it's at Laurie's. I hardly know her.

    You hardly glanced at it. How could you have read it?

    And he hardly treated his last girlfriend very well, did he?

    It's hardly moving. It must be dead.

    My closest friends couldn't take it, I can't tell people I hardly even know!

    You're hardly paying attention. Please!

    As far as we know they hardly knew each other.

    I could hardly keep her on the bike.

    Overjoyed, I could hardly contain myself.

    I can hardly wait.

    I have to admit

    I have to admit I thought it a little queer.

    Hold On

    [On the phone] Could you hold on a moment?

    [over the phone] Yeah...can you hold on a moment? [to the person waiting at his side]

  • What is it?

    What I wanted to ask you...hold on...Okay, I got a pencil. What message would you like to leave for her.

    It's sending me a message, morse code, hold on..

    Hold on a second.

    Hold on.

    BOB Take a right at the intersection, go three blocks down... JACK Hold on, say that again.

    [as though talking to a child] Well, hold on, now, little buddy. Don't you think you're a little too young for that?

    [On the phone] Hold on, let me go into the other room...hold on.

    [On the phone] Just Hold On a minute. Let me get some paper.

    Hold on! Do you really think you can get away with this?

    [Leo is tickling her while she is on the phone] Hold on, please Leo.

    Well hold on, hold on a second, could you repeat that again.

    Sue grabs a hold on Bill's right arm as he finishes the rabid dog off.

    Hope

    There's hope for Betty.

    I hope you brought your tools.

    I hope you enjoy your trip.

  • Hope you enjoy your breakfast.

    I hope so.

    I hope not...I really do.

    I hope we're not giving in to some blind hope, you know..

    Well, I hope she cheered you up.

    I hope he didn't spent his life savings on it.

    Well, I hope you're not planning to do it also; I think it's horrible what he did to Bob..

    I hope you bought us a big enough turkey.

    I should hope so!

    I just hope for the best.

    I hope I'm not interrupting anything.

    Let's just hope you're right, shall we?..

    I hope they're having a whale of a time.

    Let's hope the other tenants are equally understanding.

    Let's hope she calls it off.

    I hope you haven't bought me anything like that.

    I hope you haven't.

    I hope he's all right.

    Well, I should hope so, but until you do, you're gonna carry on with your paper route.

    [opens it, a necklace chain] I hope you like it..

  • I hope you both die horribly.

    There'll be...uh...thousands of women listening to folk music, exploring their feelings, Sharing their Hopes and Dreams..

    Your only hope, is to cooperate with us.

    I hope I'm not intruding.

    Hope had replaced despair.

    As a devotee of horse opera novels, he hoped the Alaskan frontier might inspire him.

    Stupid idea; it's hopeless.

    I hope I have given them a good run for their money.

    Hopefully, he won't do it again.

    Well I hope you're hungry.

    I hope you understand.

    I can only hope that I inadvertently pressed the voice activation button.

    Hope you had a good day at the mill.

    I know you want to hope for the best but ...

    I hope you won't think any less of me for trying to help you.

    Even if it was only a dream I hope he heard me.

    I hope you can find the strength to go on without me.

    I hope you can hear me.

    I hope she understands.

  • (slight cry) I hope she forgives me.

    I hope I didn't come on too strong yesterday.

    Hope the hearing aid holds out.

    Hope you don't mind my coming.

    He seemed so hopeful.

    Let's hope he pulls through.

    Impossible

    That's impossible.

    Seven children would be difficult to take care of, but not impossible if we had a maid.

    It's not impossible, but all the same...highly unlikely.

    A drunken man walks in a way that is quite impossible for a sober man to imitate, and vice versa.

    Instead

    Make that three eggs instead of two.

    So instead I took a bath in baking soda and then my toe came around but I got the worst cramps like ...

    When you tracked all that grease into the house today, you spilled some on my cotton balls, but instead of tossing them out I put the greased ones on the runners ...

    Hal decided not to kill himself and he's changed his will, leaving the land to Sherry instead of Crystal but Ruby found out and says he's going to kill Hal when he gets his hands on him.

  • Scratch the tea, mate, make it two coffees instead.

    We're opening up an office in Singapore as a first step to furthering our interests in Southeast Asia.

    We'll have to hire a good lawyer to defend our interests in court, since it looks like we might get drawn into the lawsuits brewing around Microsoft. Have you ever been involved in a lawsuit? Involved perhaps as a witness providing testimony or as a party to a lawsuit (defendant or plaintiff).

    LG hired a public relations firm to promote their interests in the United States. How does your company promote its interests abroad? Through global advertising campaigns?

    If a company's compensation scheme is too incentive-based and oriented towards the individual, for instance if it consists solely of straight commission on sales made by the individual and not the group, the employee will not always have the company's interests in mind when they are doing their job. Can you think of examples in your own work group where individuals have to make personal sacrifices for the greater good of the team?

    Computer companies have found recently that it is in their common interest to develop industry-wide standards and to develop the network infra-structure that will allow more computer software and hardware to penetrate the home. For instance, home appliances such as microwave ovens or refrigerators that allow you to place an order with a supermarket for food to be delivered.

  • Since last year Sun Microsystems has been moving into the Korean market and threatening our interests there. Has your company been facing any competitive pressures from outside Korea or if you work for a multi-national has your company been the source for competitive pressure in any markets?

    We sent a representative to the government department to safeguard our interests there during the regulatory hearings that are taking place there now.

    The many new competitors entering the market for computer consulting and system integration has been jeopardizing our interests there.

    In Touch

    Keep in touch, okay?

    I've gotta put the advertisement in the paper today, get in touch with Bob and check if he's finished the work he's doing.

    [mock socially] So you don't want to keep in touch, then?

    We all keep in touch.

    Everyone bids farewell as they leave, "Yeah", "Will do," "All right?" "All right," "You too," "Nice talking to you," "Stay in touch."

    Please call me the minute he gets in touch with you.

    Just

    Sorry, gentlemen, I just couldn't resist that one.

    A strawberry is just a strawberry without whip cream.

    You get harvest grain 'n nut, or banana nut, or country griddle cakes with eggs, bacon, and hash browns for just 2.99!

    Ladies and gentlemen, Greg will be out here in just a minute...uh...but first, there's someone in the audience tonight, who I wanted to introduce to all of you.

  • Would you just stop it!

    I just want it to be the two of us.

    We're just gonna, you know, bum around for a couple of months, then we're gonna ride bikes, hitchhike, sleep in barns.

    I'll just stay here in L.A.

    Just gonna have ta wing it until he gets here.

    It's okay, I was just leaving.

    Well, let's just say I broke it before I could use it.

    I'm just worried about him...that's all.

    It just reads that way...he's not going to like it. You better change it.

    They just announced the date for the election.

    Well, let's just say she'll be as pleased as I'll be when we get some staff.

    I just wanted to chat, really.

    I just wish I'd've explained things to them when they were little.

    I know, it's just I feel so guilty sometimes.

    I just think it's better just to keep her head down right now.

    Oh, not just yet.

    I reckon some new blood on the council is just what's needed.

    No, I'm just aware of the pressures of having a young family, that's all.

    You need to offer more than just fish these days.

  • I just think it's people wantin' the latest gossip, you know?

    I was just thinking...you want to go to a movie tonight.

    Well, we'll just have ta struggle on, won't we?

    [disgusted] He's just scum, Sue.

    Well, he won't just give it away.

    I just wanna spend some time with you.

    It's just a bit difficult right now when I'm looking my Dad's business for him while he's away.

    It's just all the other stuff that's difficult.

    I'm just trying to see it from his perspective.

    Well, let's just say, "He's the perfect man for the job."

    If I can just interrupt you for a moment....

    [wry] Oh, just a bit.

    Just give me a couple more days, okay.

    Got one of them faces that just looks naturally guilty.

    I just said that whoever lived there would need it to be redecorated first.

    Yeah, well just think what we could do with it.

    [sigh] I just wish you'd talked to me about it first.

    I just wanted it to be a surprise.

    But please: next time, just talk to me first?

  • No, as a matter of fact, I was just showing your mom around the house.

    Just as Joey leaves, Mrs. Fitzpatrick comes in the door.

    I was just looking for Sue.

    I thought we'd agreed to be just friends.

    Just put one foot in front of the other.

    I just couldn't settle for anything less.

    I don't know if he's up to it just yet.

    She's, just got a lot to learn, that's all.

    I'll give it to you just as soon as I've made us all a nice cup o' tea.

    Stop being disagreeable and just serve me a drink!

    No, you should just--just try and take, take it easy, just try and relax..

    It was just a thought.

    Listen, Ted, if you wanna have a chat, you just, ring me, yeah?

    We'd just like to know what our chances are, really.

    Uh, I don't know why, it's just that...Rodney's never left home before and I'm worried about him.

    Just wish I'd tried to keep it going..

    Just hang in there for a bit. Don't throw in the towel just yet.

    I'm just feeling a bit sluggish.

    I was just coming around to see you.

  • I just got back from the licensing session.

    Since you couldn't be bothered to turn up, I thought you might just like to know: the transfer's complete.

    I was just asking. You don't have to get angry.

    I just don't want you wasting your breath, that's all.

    Just in case you want to take her out to dinner. Here's her number.

    It's just about time for my daily run. Are the papers ready yet?

    You just leave that to me..

    I'm just going to go as I am.

    Oh, it's just draining, that's all.

    Well, it's nearly over, you just hang in there.

    I just can't wait..

    Just like to know what's goin' on, that's all..

    I just want to have a look around.

    I just get the feelin' we're...going to fail.

    It's just been one of those days.

    Just to be on the safe side.

    I just wish there was something I could do.

    Just make sure you're back by a quarter to eleven...Eleven at the latest.

    Just depends on the circumstances.

  • Not just yet.

    Just tell me the truth..

    I just think you should do whatever's easiest.

    [awkward, pause] Just thought I'd pop in..see how you were..

    Just pick up the phone and dial the number. That's all there is to it.

    That's just it.

    Well, just tell me what you want, then! I can't read your mind.

    Oh, you just missed her. She just walked out the door.

    Well, maybe it's just as well.

    Look, it's just come in on the fax. Want me to read it to you?

    Um, I was just wondering, well, inquiring, like...have you got any seats available?

    Oh, nothing, you just look fed up, that's all.

    Just a small one. That's all I get?

    And I can't just sit by and do nothing. I just have to do something.

    Just wait til you see it! You'll love it.

    But we've only just got here.

    [song in the background] ...we've only just begun....t

    Just an idea. That's all.

    He grabs the tray from her and places it on top of a cabinet just to the left of her.

    Please, we only just started.

  • TAXPAYER Just a moment...you can't do that!

    I just don't want to eat liver ...not tonight.

    Kind

    I was waiting all night for some kind of sign!

    I don't know...I'm feeling kind of, feverish.

    Not many people ever get close to that kind of love.

    Thank you, you're very kind.

    What kind of attitude is that?

    It's the kind of thing normal people do.

    It's very kind of you, but are you quite sure?

    Oh, that's very kind.

    [kind of loud] Will you be quiet?

    He's just treating me like I'm some kind of idiot!

    PAULINE If he could just see that side of you. STEVE [gently assuring] Listen, I'm going to be the sweetest, kindest guy he's ever met.

    Popular, kind, and courteous, with a bubbly sense of humour.

    What if Terry is here somewhere, and it is your destiny to meet again and rekindle the embers of your still smoldering love?

    I was just feeling kind of down.

    I don't think that Jack and I have a "work things out" kind of a relationship.

  • Pauline is kind and giving.

    It kind of took me by surprise.

    I kind of all of a sudden felt like I wasn't ready...I just got nervous.

    I felt like I was some kind of creature at the zoo.

    What kind of person are you?

    Must be some kind of record.

    What kind of time are you looking for? Would thirty hours a week be enough?

    But to make the smooth kind, it needs to be ground one more time.. Here, let me show you.

    Of course, most of it depends on growing the right kind of peanuts, and finding the best ways of using them.

    Is it a kind of dance? Or a form of exercise? Or meditation?

    You're one of a kind.

    What kind of jelly is this?

    Is this some kind of parallel universe?

    It kind of motivates me to work when I'm alone on the road.

    What kind of a sick person calls and hangs up over and over?

    I kind of like her.

    Well it's kind of tender,...sweet, romantic, the stuff that dreams are made of...

    Do you realize the kind of money that your little performance just cost this family?

    Actually I'm in kind of of a weird mood.

  • If you get paid that kind of money for being wrong sixty percent of the time it beats working.

    I got to find out what kind of trees these are.

    We're kind of lucky that he isn't here anymore.

    What kind of cigarettes do you smoke?

    It was kind of like a nightmare.

    It all makes some kind of terrible sense that we're all sitting here in jail now.

    Well if you don't want two black eyes on a regular basis I suggest you make some kind of peace with rural life.

    She seemed to have reached a kind of...plateau in her life and carreer

    [sarcastic] ...to see this kind of investigative genius at work ...

    Then I read about it in this French magazine and they take the entire head and dip it in a kind of aplomage pudding.

    I guess at the moment he's kind of in prison, anyway.

    If you're ever in any kind of trouble, let me know, alright?

    Its kind of personal. I'd rather not talk about it.

    I was just wondering if its the kind of test you can take over.

    Actually, my sister went to college with her but she's kind of a friend of mine, too.

    Everyone has been so kind.

    Please don't make that kind of judgment till you hear me out.

    This kind gentleman flagged me down, asked if I could drive him here.

    Oh gosh gee-gee whiz I guess I kinda sorta did.

  • What kind of a two-bit operation are they running out of this tree house?

    Well that's good, because normally if a stranger walked into my station talking this kind of crud, he'd be looking for his teeth two blocks up on queer street.

    He greets the day with a smile and confounds adversity with a kind word.

    I bet you get all kind of Romeos in here begging for favors.

    I've been kind of busy.

    Her mother was kind of spooky.

    Susie, you're my kind of gal.

    Is he in some kind of trouble?

    What kind of question is that?

    Actually, I'm in kind of a weird mood.

    Know

    I mean--I know I was a little shakey at first but I...I think I'm a pretty good host now.

    The guys in the audience, they wanna know, if they can go home now.

    You know something...you were good out there.

    What can I bring to the party...oh, I know, Wolfgang Puck. [famous cook in San Francisco]

    You know what? I'm going to Europe. I'm 18 and you can't stop me.

    Now I know why.

  • I know she's trying to make a point but for the life of me, I can't figure out what it is..

    I know you're angry.

    How did you know?

    That's okay, I don't wanna know.
