A few gems from former Canadian prime minister Jean Chrétien:
"A proof is a proof. What kind of a proof? It's a proof. A proof is a proof. And when you have a good proof, it's because it's proven."
Interestingly enough, Chrétien was defending his stance against the US invasion of Iraq over alleged weapons of mass destruction. He said he'd like to see convincing "proofs". Guess he was right all along...
"I don't see why people buy assault weapons and nuclear arms for fun, a family could have a domestic incident that could get out of hand and they may use those weapons."
When holding a press conference on Free Trade with U.S. president Bill Clinton, Canadian prime minister Jean Chrétien was asked what he thought about all the drugs that were entering Canada from the U.S. He responded: "Well, it's more trade." After a tense moment of silence and some muffled laughter Clinton leaned over and whispered something in Chrétien's ear. Chrétien immediately blurted "Oh drugs! I thought you said trucks!"
"He assured me there was no problem and he would have had to assure himself (of that) as well."
And finally...
"When you're a mayor and you have a problem you blame the provincial government. If you are provincial government and you have a problem you blame the federal government. We don't blame the Queen any more, so once in a while we might blame the Americans."
Yeah, we do that too...

Those are two of my favorite movies of all time. The second one isn't nearly as good as the first, but there's so many fabulous bits of dialogue in both.
EGON: My parents didn't believe in toys.
RAY: You mean, you never even had a Slinky?
EGON: We had part of a Slinky. But I straightened it.
And possibly the greatest bit of dialogue in any movie, ever:
PETER: Are you, Alice, menstruating right now?
LIBRARIAN: What does that have to do with anything?
PETER: Back of pal, I'm a scientist.

"Gozer the Traveller will come in one of the
pre-chosen forms. During the rectification
of the Vuldronaii the Traveller came as a
very large and moving Torb. Then of course
in the third reconciliation of the last of
the Meketrex supplicants they chose a new
form for him, that of a Sloar. Many Shubs
and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in
the depths of the Sloar that day I can tell
you."
There are soooo many lines in either movie. ("Hairless pets...weird." ) Obviously the first one was great but the second was a hoot. Seemed like a bit of a re-tread. Murray makes me laugh just by looking at him. I hear a third one is being done in CGI...I'll wait and see but confidence is not high here.

VENKMAN: Ray, dont worry about it, everybody has three mortgages nowadays.
Also, virtually anything Peter MacNichol says in Ghostbusters II is hillarious.

You're probably right. I'm going on memory which is not reliable! Still, I seem to recall that Ramis and Aykroyd were gearing it up as a CGI movie. (Ramis at one point wanted Ben Stiller involved. Apparently that fell through and now it's going to be a video game.
What's funny about all this, is despite my total "why?" attitude, this seems disappointing somehow. If the game does well, who knows...? Aykroyd has said for all intents and purposes, this is a sequel but if it turns a profit I could see a Pixar project...It is a way around the "age factor." (Unless of course they wrote a script that dealt with that.)

The last I heard about the third "Ghostbusters" movie is that it had been planned as a game, but is being reworked as a CGI movie.
