Mr. Man im Buchladen. Einer der besten Sketche aus "Little Britain".

Owner: Hello. I did not know you liked books.
Mr. Man: Hello. Yes, I like books very much.
Owner: Are you looking for anything in particular?
Mr. Man: Not really. I was just wondering if you had any books on mediaeval English music between the dates 1356 and 1390?
Owner: Ehm... I can't see anything here. Margaret knows all the books. One moment. Margaret! Margaret!
Margaret: Yes?
Owner: There's a gentleman here who wants to know if we've got any books on mediaeval English music dating between 1356 and 1390.
Margaret: Paperback or hardback?
Owner: Paperback or hardback?
Mr. Man: Oh, you know me. I'm easy.
Owner: He says he is easy.
Margaret: There should be one, over by the Mike Gatting autobiography.
Owner: Oh, yes, here we are. “A History Of Mediaevil Music, 1356 to 1390”.
Mr. Man: Sorry, I didn't grip in time.
Mr. Man: Sorry, I gripped too soon that time. You may have to hold it.
Owner: Right. Well, what do you reckon?
Mr. Man: How many pages does it have?
Owner: Ehm, 312.
Mr. Man: Oh. I was hoping for something more along the 306 mark.
Owner: Right.
Mr. Man: Do you think the author might be interested in rewriting his work to cut it down? Maybe if you cut out all the “O”s, you might lose six pages there.
Owner: I... I don't think so, no.
Mr. Man: Maybe I'm being too specific.
Owner: You are being a little specific, yes.
Mr. Man: Ok. Have you got any books?
Owner: Have I got any books?
Mr. Man: Yes.
Owner: Well, yes, we've got hundreds of them.
Mr. Man: I'll take them, please.
Owner: Oh, right. Oh. You, ehm... you must really like reading.
Mr. Man: Oh no. Unfortunately, I'm blind.

Aus Jonathan Safran Foers "Extremely loud & incredibly close":

He promised us that everything would be OK.
I was a child, but I knew that everything would not be OK.
That did not make my father a liar.
It made him my father.

Aus dem Vorspann zu "Dogma":

Bevor Sie also jemandem wegen dieses läppischen Films Leid zufügen wollen, denken Sie bitte daran: Auch Gott hat Sinn für Humor. Man muss sich nur einmal das Schnabeltier ansehen. Herzlichen Dank und viel Vergnügen.

P.S. Wir möchten uns bei allen Schnabeltier-Fans förmlich entschuldigen, falls sie sich wegen dieser gedankenlosen Bemerkung über die Schnabeltiere auf den Schlips getreten fühlen. Wir von View Askew respektieren das edle Schnabeltier, und nichts läge uns ferner, als diese blöden Viecher in irgendeiner Form zu kränken.
Nochmals herzlichen Dank und viel Vergnügen.


Herrlich.

Zitat aus dem Abspann von "The Men Who Stare at Goats":

The filmmakers ask that no one attempt walking through walls, cloudbursting while driving, or staring for hours at goats with the intent of harming them...invisibility is fine.

Noch ein Grund, warum man Abspänne immer bis zum Ende sehen sollte.
