What Quote Identifies the Band to Other Big Fans?
 

Can you think of one quote or phrase that the rest of the world doesn’t understand the significance of but that a big fan would immediately identify? I’m looking for quotes that are NOT in songs.

“How are the tenors, Tony?”

“This is for you, Daddy.”

“The process is more like painting.”

“Isn’t that WEIRD?”

“Well, you wouldn’t say that to Bob Dylan!”

It's an old English pub song!

"We don't use that word [fired] because I think it's ugly"

I think that's a good one, although it does appear in the recorded track just not as an official lyric. Meanwhile I always thought it was "Johnny", so clearly I'm just a "mediocre fan"!
In the same way, spoken words that appear in demos and live recordings are probably a good source of 'big fan' quotes. Like "I don't wanna be a cleaning lady" or "If my mummy could see me now."

You could probably take all of the dialogue from The Dance and place it here.

"I thought that John McVie had all the vocals! Juh juh juh juh!"

“We had a pact.”

“She burned her bridges.”

“I’m a Gemini. I’m two people.”

“Sloane Ranger.”

“I’ve got the key to the door...”

Best video footage ever.

You F**k with my people and I'm gonna get REAL F**king angry!

We're going to do another song from the album Tusk. The album you guys hated.

I told her to go get a trainer

Welcome everybody

This is a story about a Welsh Witch

We're here to show you that we just refuse to go away

Thank you and a very good evening everybody

You have no idea how many stuffed animals are stuffed inside my house

We've never done this with a brass section before so this should be interesting

Care to join us sir

I thought they were saying booo and I was so bummed out

I will hand deliver it to everyone of you......sort of like girl scout cookies

I think this band sounds very much like Fleetwood Mac

Drive safe on the way home everyone

Agree that any dialogue from The Dance belongs here…

“Welcome to our little soirée!”

I’d like to also add to the mix one of my favorites:
“THIS BLACK ROSE IS FOR ALL OF YOU WHO DON’T HAVE ANY ENERGY!”

If my mommy could see me now....

I thought it was him just calling out "John McVie on vocals"

"big machine, small machine"
"This is a song about a lady named Rhiannon"
"This is a nice quiet one of Stevie's"
"Go ask Stevie Nicks"
"I'll vote we should do it"
"You should be in the Senate or something"
"I own the masters...."
"Karen is drop-dead honest"
"I'll eat a f***load of money"
"We'll just leave out your bass parts"
"You guys have been doing that for years"
"I don't want an omelet. I want French food"
"It's like being in the army"
"If you take me you gotta take my girlfriend too"
"They're a package deal"
"Come on, Johnny"
"Our very own songbird"
"I don't understand their concept"
"Roll the tape and let's just see what happens"

Ding, ding, ding! You are almost the winner in this quote game. Switch out “concept” for “premise” and you have the most obnoxious bit of Stevie-parrots-manager-speak of the last ten years…

“Being in Fleetwood Mac is like being in the army.”

“I sold my soul to the company store.”

“It was for everyone and no one.”

“Today, a duck walked into my kitchen.”
