Thank you thank you thank you. Forgive my tears.
Thank you for making me Miss America. I wonder
if I will miss America. One thinks of
all the imaginary kingdoms and cults, but nations
are the actual experiments, the real, time-
encrusted embodiments of ideas. Japan, for
example: now what would it mean to grow up
in a Land of the Rising Sun? Sun worship has never
been very popular in the United States. People who
lie in the sun are still associated vaguely with
idleness, devil's work. What did the sun mean in
the prehistory of the Nipponese flag? Personally,
I have a hard time seeing why any country, including
mine, would want to dominate Planet Earth, much
less to own her in her entirety. Does any nation
honestly think it is sane enough, safe enough, to
guard mankind against self-destruction? Dear
ones, are we hypocrites? Or fools? Do we Americans
genuinely believe that we alone are free from the
demons of pride, lust, cruelty, and grasping acquisitive-
ness--the enemy within? To identify with the Good
surely requires not only incredible arrogance but
incredible naivete. If the sun could think, if the pure
fires of energy could only think, what would the sun
think of such nationalism, looking down upon this
planet of ours? And in the long history of the moon's
silent moan, what would she think?

All that babblespeak aside... I'd still hit it.

Anyone can be confident with a full head of hair. But a confident bald man - there's your diamond in the rough.

Just because there's snow on the roof doesn't mean there's not a fire in the cellar.

"Can you stop my leg?"

"My leg stopped!
Woo-hoo, thank the Lord.
I want to thank the Lord for stoppin' my leg.
Woo-hoo, yeah!"

"There it goes again!
There, there it goes again!
There, there, there it goes
There it goes again..!"

You're going down a river in a four door canoe and suddenly a wing falls off. So, how do you use pancakes to replace the shingles on the roof?

Purple, because snakes don't have armpits.

King Arthur: I am your king.
Woman: Well I didn't vote for you.
King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.
Woman: Well how'd you become king then?
[Angelic music plays... ]
King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king.
Dennis: [interrupting] Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dennis: Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dennis: Oh but if I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dennis: Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I'm being repressed!
King Arthur: Bloody peasant!
Dennis: Oh, what a giveaway! Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about! Did you see him repressing me? You saw him, Didn't you?
