Michael

 * I'm not that kind of angel.


 * You gotta learn to laugh, it's the way to true love.


 * Battle!
 * As he prepares to confront a bull in a field.


 * No injuries, 6360 battles.


 * Remember Sparky, no matter what they say, you can never have too much sugar.


 * The miles will fly and your children won't cry, if you play car bingo.


 * Whatever they say, you can never have too much of earth.

Dorothy Winters

 * It's cookies! He smells like cookies — and the smell gets stronger when he's in heat.

 * Michael: Remember what John and Paul said.
 * Frank Quinlan: The apostles?
