Dialogue Greatness
The Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)
Ron Burgundy: (on the fight between local anchormen) Boy, that escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand fast!
Champ Kind: It jumped up a notch.
Ron Burgundy: It did, didn't it?
Brick Tamland: Yeah, I stabbed a man in the heart.
Ron Burgundy: I saw that! Brick killed a guy! Did you throw a trident?
Brick Tamland: Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident.
Ron Burgundy: Brick, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You should probably find yourself a safe house or a relative close by. Lay low for a while, because you're probably wanted for murder.

Festivus For the Rest of Us!
Festivus For the Rest of US
Article cited directly from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festivus
Celebrated on December 23,
as depicted on the December 18, 1997 Seinfeld
television episode, “The Strike”. While at Monk's restaurant
Jerry, George, and Elaine discuss George's father's creation of
Festivus (Jerry: "His father hated all the commercial and religious
aspects of Christmas, so he made up his own holiday." (Jerry
Seinfeld
referring to Frank Costanza.). Then Kramer becomes interested in
resurrecting the holiday when, at the bagel shop, Frank Costanza tells
him how he created Festivus as an alternative holiday in response to the
commercialization of Christmas.
- Frank Costanza: "Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way."
- Cosmo Kramer: "What happened to the doll?"
- Frank Costanza: "It was destroyed. But out of that a new holiday was born: a Festivus for the rest of us!"
- Kramer: "That must have been some kind of doll."
- Frank Costanza: "She was."
Festivus pole
The tradition of Festivus begins with
an aluminum
pole. During Festivus, the pole is displayed unadorned. The basics of the
Festivus pole are explained by Frank in two separate situations:
Cosmo Kramer: "And
is there a tree?"
Frank Costanza: "No,
instead, there's a pole. It requires no decoration. I find tinsel distracting
... It's made from aluminum. Very high strength-to-weight ratio."
Festivus dinner
A celebratory dinner is shown on the
evening of Festivus prior to the Feats of Strength and during the Airing of
Grievances. The on-air meal was shown to be some sort of meatloaf.
In the Seinfeld episode no alcohol is
served at the dinner, but George Costanza's boss, Mr. Kruger, drinks from a hip flask.
Airing of Grievances
The celebration of Festivus begins with
the "Airing of Grievances", which takes place immediately after the
Festivus dinner has been served. It consists of lashing out at others and the
world about how one has been disappointed in the past year.
From the Seinfeld episode:
Frank Costanza: "And
at the Festivus dinner, you gather your family around, and tell them all the
ways they have disappointed you over the past year!"
Frank Costanza: "The
tradition of Festivus begins with the Airing of Grievances. I got a lot of
problems with you people! And now, you're gonna hear about it. You, Kruger. My
son tells me your company stinks! You couldn't smooth a silk sheet if you had a
hot date with a babe...I lost my train of thought."
Feats of Strength
The
Feats of Strength is the final tradition observed in the celebration of
Festivus, celebrated immediately following (or in the case of "The
Strike"during) the Festivus
dinner. The head of the household selects one person at the Festivus
celebration and challenges that person to a wresting match. Festivus is not over until the head
of the household is pinned. Failing
to pin the head of the household results in Festivus continuing until such
requirement is met.Article cited directly from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festivus
