We-ell, as you

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

We-ell, as you

We-ell, as you all probably know, a while ago we had a thread for quotes ((*thinks: Hey! Joe Moses/Snape! Stop reading my post over aloud, it's very distracting"*)).

Rather than resurrect the old one *again*, I'm just going to make a new one because I'm lazy like that. Silence your sniggering!

Well. Right. Quotes! Anything and everything! Wee!

"Hello, sick people and their loved ones. In the interest of saving time and avoiding a lot of boring conversations later, I'm Dr. Gregory House. You can call me Greg. I'm one of three doctors staffing this clinic this morning."

"Short, sweet, grab a file."

"This little ray of sunshine is Dr. Lisa Cuddy. Dr. Cuddy runs the entire hospital, so she's much too busy for all of you. I am a bored... certified diagnostician with a double specialty of infectious disease and nephrology. I am also the only doctor employed at this hospital who is here against his will.

[to Cuddy] That is true, isn't it?

So. Who wants me?"

~House. Speaking of which, what did they do to his hair for the upcoming season?! Did they seriously cut it?!

"Can it be?  Can it be Christine?"

Ok, a couple of thing to discuss.  Firstly, why is Raoul calling Christine an 'it'???  Not very respectful of the one he loves, is he??  *malicious grin* :D

Who thinks Raoul is a teensy bit annoying, and that Christine should not go with EITHER of them? 

And, I don't even remember how many mirrors it was that he broke, but when I added it up, I think the Phantom's got a life time supply of bad luck.  What do you want to bet he did that before, and that's why he's so miserable???

*sung* Comments on the matter please!!

I think it's meant to be an "it" more along the lines of "I can't believe it's you!" or "Can it really be her?" rather then him referring to Christine as an "it". I mean, you know, like people say, "hey, it's that guy!" or whatever.

Yes! I hates the Raoul! But ChristinexErik forever.

And AgnesxWalter Plinge. *is shot for undue Pterry fangirling* 

And Erik's miserable because everyone hates him. Even his mother. You know, "This face which earned a mother's fear and loathing/A mask, my first unfeeling scrap of clothing" and all that.

(Whereas Walter is miserable because without his mask he doesn't seem to realize that he IS the ghost, and all the trouble with the other one is making him scared and confused. And also everyone thinks he's an idiot and uses him as a stage name if they're playing a dorky/unpopular part, even though he essentially INVENTS the musical in the end...)

*uses excuse to listen to Michael Crawford who is amazing, unlike *sneer* Gerard Butler who is tone deaf even though the phantom is a musical genius, ARGH*

Ahem.

*coughcough*  MICHAEL CRAWFORD????  *hem*  I'm sorry, but he is terrible!  His singing makes me ill.  Sorry.  I know I'm not very nice, but I can't help it!!

Heh, I kinda figured that's what the 'it' was about, but I wanted to make a discussion about something pointless... plus, I needed to put some dirt on Raoul.  :P

But but but he has such a good voice! Certainly better than *dear* Mr. Butler who was not only an octave below where he was supposed to be but also managed to be horrendously off-key at the SAME TIME. I mean, a switch from tenor to bass I can understand, I guess, particularly with someone who hasn't been trained to singing. But off pitch? *shakes fist at movie* THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE TONE DEAF. NOT IN MUSICALS.

*pant pant*

Haha, I wasn't saying Butler was good, no, I'd need to watch it again to determine if I agree, I haven't seen it in a while.....  I'm just saying Crawford is not.  Terrible that we should disagree.  :)

Somebody messed up my head for like three years by letting me read the GIC... But by now, having read the real one (<3! And <3!) months ago, yes. Raoul is nice, but he is annoying. Erik is much more interesting, although I can understand Christine's aversion to marrying him... So, in general, while I loved Erik, ErikxChristine just doesn't make any sense; and I quote TNO (umlaut), it simply was not *canon*.

And yet because naturally the book wouldn't have been as sweet or sad if Christine hadn't ended up with Raoul, I really can't say that I'd have preferred Christine to not pick either of them, as you said.

Although I dunno if you're talking about the musical or the book, and I know next to nil about the musical... (Except for the line "The phaaaaantom of the Opera is here inside your miiiiind..." and everyone knows that, mm?)

Sadly, I know next to nil about the book.... I want to know more....  But it took me years to even realize there was a book.  *makes mental note to read it*
