Angel wondered if she knew how to get a four-year-old vampire down from off the top of the refrigerator, while his equally four-year-old boyfriend was hanging on to your knee and yelling at you that you were ruining the Great Cookie Jar Robbery and you were a Big Mean Doofus With Perpendicular Hair. Angel did. It mostly involved waiting.

The Onion: What would you like to be doing just in general that you don't have time for?
Joss Whedon: Well, everything. The things that people do when they don't write. Playing games, sports maybe. Drinking and sex are things I've heard a lot about.

Jack - Oh, Kar. I know what you're going through. I was once with a man who encouraged me to cheat on him. Well, not encouraged so much as didn't know.
Grace - Well, maybe it's-- It's not called cheating if you have permission.
Jack - Yeah, maybe it's just called fantastic.
Jane - Where are you going?
Trent - Who are you? Mom?
Jane - No, Mom would never ask where you're going.
Trent - Exactly. (leaves)
Jane - Do you have any idea what time it is?
Daria - It's almost noon.
Jane - Mm. I guess righteous indignation isn't really appropriate, then.
Daria - You and Jane aren't really morning people, are you?
Trent - Hey, the night holds the key.
Daria - The key to what?
Trent - I don't know, Daria. It's early.
Helen (offscreen) - Meeting!
Jake (offscreen) - Golf!
Quinn (offscreen) - Date!
Daria - Sarcasm!
Clark plays off his inquisitiveness and admits it's none of his business. Well, damn, Clark, make it your business! Kiss him, you fool! Lex gets up (again) from picking up flowers and says he admires Clark's standards. If it's his standards he admires, why is he staring at Clark's ass?

Jane - Ta-da!
(Jane turns the easel around to reveal a self-portrait, only her hair has yellow stripes and she's standing in a jungle)
Daria - Um, very nice. Or is it a cry for help?
Tom - I'd have to go with... both.
Lex is sitting at his desk. Clark comes in. How does he manage to get past the gate, like he owns the place? Lex asks if he's ghost hunting. Nope. The only thing Clark wants to find in a set of white sheets is Lex.
- TWoP recap
Daria - Do you think I complain a lot?
Tom - What are you bitching about now?
Jake - Trent, your date is here!
Trent - Thanks. See you.
Helen - Trent, where are you going?
Trent - Out.
Helen - And when are you coming back?
Trent - Later.
Trent - Too bad you're not a few years older, huh? I could take you out. (chuckles, coughs) See you. (leaves)
(Daria's fantasy)
Trent - Daria, you're the best thing that ever happened to me.
(fantasy ends)
Daria - Damn.
Val - Are you getting this, Dar? Why don't you read me back your notes?
Daria - Okay. "What am I doing here? How am I going to get through this? Dear God, help me."
Helen - All right, Daria. I guess I can believe your story. Though it seems pretty farfetched to me that two teenagers with raging hormones...
Daria - My hormones don't rage. Oh, sure, they get mad sometimes, but then they just stop speaking to each other.
Tom - I'm worried. I don't think you can really do without me for a week.
Daria - No, you should worry that once I remember what it's like not to have you cramping my style, I'll want to make it permanent.
Tom - Romantic.

Lex turns around, smiling, of course. He says he wants to pitch in a computer lab to the school. He's standing next to the Wall of Weird. "They might even name a lunch special after you," Clark jokes. The question you have to ask yourself, Clark, is would you eat it?

"To me there is nothing so admirable as a passionate love-bond between two human beings." Sean Astin on Frodo and Sam
"It is a deep relationship, and difficult to describe. In one way it is a master/servant relationship, because Sam comes from a different class and wants to serve Frodo and be there for him because he is very, very loyal. But more than anything, they are best friends. Despite all of the efforts of wizards and warriors, it is this one friendship that eventually enables Frodo to carry out his quest. Quite simply it is love. it is that unconditional love that says, regardless of what you do or where you go, I will always be there for you."
- Elijah Wood about Sam and Frodo
"...they don't need to talk about what they are to each other, they just *are.*" –Sean Astin on Sam and Frodo

November 1999
Queenstown's flooded, which means that the river scenes may never be shot. Viggo rang this morning and asked if I wanted to go fishing. I said "Why don't you just throw your rod out the window?" The water is about three feet high outside the reception area. Drove to Arrowtown with Orlando Bloom and Elijah Wood and played cops and robbers in the forest. Also, Billy Boyd and I went round to six vineyards in a day. Not a good idea.

October 4, 2000
Hungover...very funny: at lunch we were all wearing black and sunglasses. Rang Mum and Liv when I got in. Viggo left a long message on my machine. He leaves these kind of stream-of-consciousness messages on your machine like "Yeah, this is Viggo, I'm eating chicken, I'm wearing blue trousers, the sun is shining..." I always save the messages.

Randal: Do you think Phantom Menace is as good of a movie as Empire?
George Lucas: Well, certainly, I think it's the best movie I've made yet.
Randal: Permission to treat this witness as hostile. Mr. Lucas, how do you explain that in Star Wars Obi-Wan tells Luke when he met his father he was a great pilot, but in Menace he's just a little boy?
Lucas: Well, my kids thought...
Randal: And how come Obi-Wan tells Luke that Yoda is the Jedi that trains him, but in the movie Liam Neeson trains him?
Lucas: Um, well, the power of myth...
Randal: Isn't it true you knew this was a bad movie, that you wrote it over a weekend but told people you had it written for years?
Lawyer: Objection! The pod race was pretty cool.

"It didn't matter in the end how old they had been, or that they were girls, but only that we had loved them, and that they hadn't heard us calling, still do not hear us, calling them out of those rooms where they went to be alone for all time, alone in suicide, which is deeper than death, and where we will never find the pieces to put them back together."

Vig used to call me 'Elf boy', and I'd call him 'filthy human'. As an Elf, I never got a scratch on me, never got dirty. And Vig would come out with blood and sweat all over him. And he'd say to me, 'Oh, go manicure your nails.'
- Orlando Bloom
It is late 1999 in Queenstown, New Zealand, two days after record rainfall caused the worst flooding in the history of the district. We have suffered some setbacks; the weather has stuffed the schedule. Two of the actors, Sean Bean and Orlando Bloom, have been caught between two landslides and are now trapped in a tiny town in the middle of the South Island. They have been taken in by a kindly woman who has offered them food and a bed. They were last reported to be cooking spaghetti and cracking into a bottle of red wine.

Tonight, when we were eating dinner, my girlfriend said something that really knocked me for a loop. She said, "I love that new Wesley/Gunn story." "Good," I said as I gritted my teeth really hard. "Then maybe you and that new Wesley/Gunn story would like to go into the bedroom and have sex!" They didn't, but maybe they will sometime, and I can watch.

People think it's fun to write fanfic because you get all those readers. But they forget the negative side, which is the psychosis.

If they had fanfic back in the Dark Ages, I bet the most common question readers would ask is, "Can't you put a catapult in this story?" No, I'm sorry. That would violate canon.
