Memorable words and phrases

Inspired by Melissa Wiley's list of common literary phrases spoken in her family, I'm listing some of ours. Ours come from books, movies, and TV shows. Some are just funny things I want to remember. Since we listen to alot of books on tape, many of them may be lost in the written translation. Leah is generally the one who brings these tidbits into the family vernacular and often it's all in how it's said.
