"You think you know a story, but you only know how it ends. To get to the heart of the story, you have to go back to the beginning."
"Is this not Mademoiselle Anne? Enchanté. His Eminence has told me all about you, but he did not tell me how beautiful you are. For a Frenchman, that is almost a crime."
"It would appear that the King's whore is the cause of all this. Why doesn't someone just -- get rid of her?"
The reason that second quote resonated with me was that in the labs where I work, there are areas with yellow tape on the floor within which chemical goggles must be worn. Of course, any chemical incidents in the lab would stop where the tape is. I usually refer to this as the "Les Nessman" safety rule!

Wow. This one's been dormant for a while... "Uh I've just been handed a news flash. The word "Canada" is unrhymeable. It's easier to - I don't know - get drunk and try to climb a bull

"And if he does not?"

Just a wild guess since I haven't seen it, is it Showtime's The Tudors?(If right, the Doctor scores again and makes a hasty retreat by Tardis).

It is, in fact, The Tudors.

TLB, the LAST THREE IN A ROW were answered by you.
We can overlook doing it ONCE, but you're DELIBERATELY not playing by the rules.
And we don't have many rules.
Basically, it's "don't look up the answer when you're trying to guess, and if you look it up,
you can't answer", and "the person who gets it right posts the next one."
All you have to do is pick a television show, and -from memory or from looking
it up online- find some quotes from it, and post them,
either longer quotes, or more shorter ones in sets,
with later quotes being more obvious.
If you're going to play, please play BY THE RULES like the rest of us.
You can see the rules are pretty painless....

I really thought this would be tougher.
Yes, WKRP in Cincinnati.
Les Nessman is the one who put up tape to define the "walls" of his cubicle.
The others were polite enough to honor them, knocking before "entering."

"Why do you have so many children?"
"Well, I love my husband very much.
"Hey, I enjoy a good cigar, but I take it out of my mouth once in a while."
"May I kiss your wife?"
"That would have to be over my dead body."
"Have it your way. Fenneman, get the gun!"

BTW, I'm sure that, at least THIS quote, is an urban legend.

No other takers, so I'll try again.
"What is it that no one wants to have yet no one wants to lose?"
"A lawsuit!"
"Did you hear about Greta Garbo? She dreamed one night she sprinkled 6 boxes of grass seed in her hair, and woke up moaning: 'I vant to be a lawn!'"
"Give yourself up. We can get help for you... medical help!"
"In prison? This I do not believe. No, you must PAY for what you did to me, for forcing me to live like this."

Right. The first two were Riddler quotes, the last a Mr. Freeze quote.
Have at it, Lupine Crusader!

"How can you call him handsome, with those bugged out eyes and hairy legs?"
""You've got a fly on the lens."
"Did you get any of 'em?"
"Two- a flatfoot and a private eye. I got the eye in the foot and the foot in the eye."
"Why did the French send Marie Antoinette to sharp blade of the guillotine?"
""To scrape the barnacles off her hull!"
