    "It takes only a tiny group of engineers to create technology that can shape the entire future of human experience with incredible speed. Therefore, crucial arguments about the human relationship with technology should take place between developers and users before such direct manipulations are designed."

    "I thus could no longer write, as I once did, that 'Holmes does not exist, but in other states of affairs, he would have existed.'" —Kripke, Naming and Necessity

    I made a small mistake when glossing the modal operators box and diamond: they are duals of one and the other. The term "complement" isn't appropriate there. If you squint hard enough, the concepts are related, but I clearly meant to express that they are duals, in the way that union and intersection, or the universal and existential quantifier, are. I can't explain why I made that mistake — it's just a typo, really, but it's important to set that right.

    Major Strasser: "You give him credit for too much cleverness. My impression was that he's just another blundering American."
    Captain Renault: "We mustn't underestimate American blundering. I was with them when they blundered into Berlin in 1918."

    (Not historically accurate, as it happens - US troops didn't reach Berlin at the end of World War I).

    "Jules: Mmmmmmm!!!! This is a tasty burger! Vincent! You ever had a Big Kahuna burger? [Vincent indicates "no"] Want a bite? They're real tasty.
    Vincent: Ain't hungry.
    Jules: Well, if you like burgers, give them a try sometime. Me, I can't usually get them because my girlfriend's a vegetarian. Which pretty much makes me a vegetarian. I do love the taste of a good burger. "

    Pulp Fiction

    Go on, I double dare you, the next time you get a burger at some restaurant or bar to say: "Mmmmmm! This is a tasty burger!" To the server or cook.

    Ilsa: [on the verge of tears] "I didn't count the days."

    "Rick: Yes, that's very pretty. I heard a story once. As a matter of fact, I've heard a lot of stories in my time. They went along with the sound of a tinny piano, playing in the parlor downstairs. 'Mister, I met a man once when I was a kid,' they'd always begin. Well, I guess neither one of our stories is very funny."

    Captain Renault: "By the way, last night you evinced an interest in Señor Ugarte."
    Victor Laszlo: "Yes."
    Captain Renault: "I believe you have a message for him?"
    Victor Laszlo: "Nothing important, but may I speak to him now?"
    Major Heinrich Strasser: "You would find the conversation a trifle one-sided. Señor Ugarte is dead."
    Ilsa: "Oh."
    Captain Renault: "I am making out the report now. We haven't quite decided yet whether he committed suicide or died trying to escape."

    Captain Renault: "I've often speculated why you don't return to America. Did you abscond with the church funds? Run off with a senator's wife? I like to think you killed a man. It's the romantic in me."

    No, it's more like:"Nun: I beg your pardon; what did you just say?

    Nun: Mmm-hmm...
