I was bored, so what did I do? I spontaneously created a game wherein I would post quotes on my Facebook status and challenge my friends to identify their sources. Surprisingly entertaining conversations resulted from this experiment, and I have posted the unabridged results on this blog.
FIRST QUOTE:
Matthew Rozsa
"This concept of 'wuv' confuses and infuriates us!" Twenty points goes to the first person who can post a status update with the origin of that quote (I'm going to be playing this arbitrary game for a while).

Wow. That took exactly 26 seconds.

It does help that I have been watching that far too much in the past three days. I think I watched that exact episode maybe yesterday? I love the Omicronians. :D

SECOND QUOTE:
Matthew Rozsa
Thirty-one-and-a-half points will be given to the first person who can identify the origin of this exchange: "I want rain. I want, if there's a God, to kick some ass down here. Let's have some water! Jesus boy! Let's have some water! Christ man or Allah or Hindu floaty thing! Let's have some fucking water for these animals!"

Apparently the first two quotes weren't challenging enough. Let's see how you McSmarterbergs handle my next entry...

THIRD QUOTE:

"Every so often a man has a day
He truly can call his.
Well, here I am to seize my day
If someone could just tell me where the hell it is."

FOURTH QUOTE:
Matthew Rozsa
Twenty-and-one-third of a point to the person who figures out the man who spoke these words: "Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."

well, it's often attributed to Lombardi, right? but i think the origin is somewhat questionable, heard the UCLA coach might have said it as well...

whoa, it comes from a little girl in a John Wayne/Donna Reed movie? lolhttp://www.enotalone.com/article/11027.html

Vince Lombardi DID actually say it, whether he misspoke or not--he is on record having said it, more than once--and he probably HEARD it from Red Sanders, who said it before him. Thanks for playing.

Having researched this question, I have come to the conclusion that - regardless of whether the quote initially came from an old John Wayne movie - its distinctly athletic context requires that its originator be considered a sports professional. While I was under the misconception that Vince Lombardi was the first man to speak these words, apparently UCLA Coach Red Sanders uttered them before him. As such, I award Ilya TWICE the original point allocation - not merely for getting this question right, but for besting me.
