Actually, there's not that much on the GSC regarding this. I've looked around and found little when I attempted to make a timeline. vpw found that his first attempt to do the way corps was not subservient enough for him, near as I could determine. As was his usual style, he savaged their reputation and tried to hide their existence. He claimed they "never got it together" and a few WEEKS into the program "I gave them the privilege of leaving." (Per TW:LIL.) The fact that his first attempt was a consistent FAILURE should have told a lot. After all, vpw himself had ZERO training in programs, neither as a manager nor as a participant. He claimed he wanted to model it after the military-despite having ZERO experience with the military. So, basically, he wanted the OBEDIENCE seen in army movies or whatever without providing the corresponding BENEFITS to the soldier (which vpw knew nothing about, any way.) He claimed that model a number of times and places. At others, he claimed to model it after the Book of Acts- which it in no way resembles. vpw was fond of saying THIS to one person and THAT to another and lying to both at the same time if it suited his purposes. What he WANTED was the OBEDIENCE, and he kept trying until he got it. Anywhere the people actually CARED would have stopped everything and disassembled the program after an initial "failure" and completely re-engineered it with improvements across the board. With twi, that was never an option- just get more obedience to vpw. Later, the corps were taught to enforce vpw's will across twi, and they got formal training-in SALES from the Dale Carnegie organization. It's obvious what vpw thought was important. As for real training Christian leaders could need, there was none- nothing on COUNSELING or anything on relating to people. People are supposed to JUMP when told to, as vpw sees it and as he tried to teach the corps (succeeding at times.) He also had no QUALITY CONTROL as to who joined- his only rule seems to be the one lcm HIMSELF faced- "YOU CAN STAY AS LONG AS YOUR MONEY HOLDS." vpw cared about money and obedience, and the rest of the corps was filler...except when they were called upon to do manual labor around the farm. The students not only worked for FREE, they PAID TUITION to work around the farm. Did vpw know how to work a scam or what? ==================== I forgot to mention- just as he kid their existence by numbering others "the FIRST" who came later, twi followed that example and hid the others who came later. After EVERYONE from the "FIRST" (second, after the "zero" corps) all left twi, twi had none left to show. So, they went around to all the old-timers who were never corps, and said "congratulations- you are now the First Corps" and claimed they had "First Corps" around twi still. When it comes to twi, vpw established that lying was just fine as long as you don't get caught, and that's still policy at twi.

DING! We have a winner! Here's how the quotes went... "You're lucky he didn't kill you, too. Or rape you, then kill you. Or kill you, then rape you." When Ben Richards was being taken by the show staff and the contract was being read. It's a line I've heard quoted since then. "I warn you I get sick. Car sick, air sick. And I'm going to throw up all over *you*." "Go for it. Won't show on this shirt..." I thought this was the best line when it was said. Ben Richards was trying to escape to Hawaii, with Amber as his hostage. He was wearing a Hawaiian shirt. "Me and my big mouth. We should have taken the trip to Hawaii." "I had the shirt for it, but you f***ed it up." I don't remember this exchange, but it's on the Imdb page, so whatever. "Mr. Spock, you have the com." "Who is Mr. Spock?" "Mick" (Mick Fleetwood) to one of the kids when they were taking over the network feed. "Hi, cutie pie. You know one of us is in deep trouble. You know who I am?" "I've seen you before. You're the @$$hole on TV." "That's funny. I was going to say the same thing about you." Damon Killian and Ben Richards, the first time they spoke. (The last time they spoke, Richards began by repeating Killian's initial comment. "Hi, cutie pie. One of us is in deep trouble.") "You bastard! Drop dead!" "I don't do requests." Killian and Richards at their last meeting. "Don't touch that dial!" Dweezil Zappa got to say that line when taking over the studio. "The Justice Department's calling every ten minutes." "Just give them an evasive answer. Tell them to go f* themselves." Killian's aide and Killian- which nicely summed up what Killian was like.

Not even close.

We first HEARD of Yoda on Hoth when Luke was freezing and Obi-Wan spoke to him. We first SAW Yoda on Dagobah. Hoth and Dagobah first appear in "Empire." In SW, we had Tattooine, the Death Star, a Star Destroyer, and Yavin 4. But this one IS "Dune."

I have 2 short quotes for the price of one.... "My name is a killing word." "The spice must flow."

"You're lucky he didn't kill you, too. Or rape you, then kill you. Or kill you, then rape you." "I warn you I get sick. Car sick, air sick. And I'm going to throw up all over *you*." "Go for it. Won't show on this shirt..." "Me and my big mouth. We should have taken the trip to Hawaii." "I had the shirt for it, but you f***ed it up." "Mr. Spock, you have the com." "Who is Mr. Spock?" "Hi, cutie pie. You know one of us is in deep trouble. You know who I am?" "I've seen you before. You're the @$$hole on TV." "That's funny. I was going to say the same thing about you." "You bastard! Drop dead!" "I don't do requests." "Don't touch that dial!" "The Justice Department's calling every ten minutes." "Just give them an evasive answer. Tell them to go f* themselves."

BZZT! George, that's not "Star Wars". (aka Episode 4-A New Hope.) That was Yoda's famous line, which makes this Episode 5-The Empire Strikes Back.....

That's not it. (And it's not close, either.)

"You're lucky he didn't kill you, too. Or rape you, then kill you. Or kill you, then rape you." "I warn you I get sick. Car sick, air sick. And I'm going to throw up all over *you*." "Go for it.

"Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine."

If that's not from "Dead Poets Society", it should be.

"You're lucky he didn't kill you, too. Or rape you, then kill you. Or kill you, then rape you." "I warn you I get sick. Car sick, air sick. And I'm going to throw up all over *you*." "Go for it.

*hums "Axel F" * This is from "Beverly Hills Cop", when Axel Foley was trying to check in to the Beverly Palm Hotel with no reservation.

He also told some corps to quit smoking so they could use the money for cigarettes to spend on their corps tuition...while continuing to chain-smoke.

Yes. You've pointed out quite a few similarities. However, the Amish are VERY different in certain things. A) They encourage their young to see the outside world and decide for themselves if they prefer the world of the Amish. (They look around, and some leave and some stay.) B) The Amish AVOID technology. twi is afraid of new technology, but uses outdated stuff they understand just fine. C) The Amish avoid violence or even the suggestion of violence. Harsh words are avoided. twi people bluster and threaten violence as if self-control was evil. D) The Amish work toward the GENERAL good. The whole community will work together to raise a barn on a farm. In twi, all resources are bent towards helping twi and never the average member on the field.

Indeed! "BUT HE DOESN'T KNOW THE TERRITORY!" A complaint about "Professor" Harold Hill among the travelong salesmen, "Shipoopi!" "A girl that's hard to get!" A musical number featuring BUDDY HACKETT singing and dancing. "HE DON'T KNOW ONE NOTE FROM ANOTHER! Another complaint about Hill at the beginning. "When a woman's got a husband, and you've got none, why should she take advice from you? Even if you can quote Balzac and Shakespeare and all them other high-falutin' Greeks." IIRC, the librarian's Mom was reminding the librarian that it is good to have standards. but standards don't keep you warm at night, and she might have set her sights too high so that NO man could match up to them. That was Shirley Jones, and her little brother was played by RON HOWARD. (IIRC, there was a moment once in Happy Days where Marion said once how the boy in the original musical looked like Richie. :) Hermionie Gingold also appears in it. The casting choices were pretty eccentric- except for Preston reprising his role from the musical.

"BUT HE DOESN'T KNOW THE TERRITORY!" "Shipoopi!" "A girl that's hard to get!" "HE DON'T KNOW ONE NOTE FROM ANOTHER! "When a woman's got a husband, and you've got none, why should she take advice from you? Even if you can quote Balzac and Shakespeare and all them other high-falutin' Greeks."

Yes, indeed. I've seen people using this as an online signature, sometimes with images, and sometimes with animated GIFs.

At some point or another, you've probably seen this movie.

"Yes, but why is the rum gone?"

BTW, can we dispense with the "include the names of the characters" thing until at least the first 2 quotes drew blanks from the audience? I could have gotten that one from the characters OR the quotes, that time. ============================= "BUT HE DOESN'T KNOW THE TERRITORY!" "Shipoopi!" "A girl that's hard to get!"

"How did Cronauer's voice get on there?" This is "GOOD MORNING VIETNAM!!!"

"ARMY TRAINING SIR!" This is obviously THE scene from "Stripes."
