Quote...Unquote

I was reading Quote..Unquote on cricinfo and thought that something of that sort can easily be compiled for the numerous hilarious, some not so hilarous quotes by fellow Freaks (+ non Freaks) over a period of time. Call it either lack of motivation to write about my Sedona mountain jeep ride experience or the inclination to come up with something of my own or maybe just compulsive writing to kick-start Freaks Inc's 2007. People have this uncanny ability to surpass Kubrick or sometimes better Kanti when it comes to deep, thoughtful and insightful comments which are utterly meaningless. More often than not it just perplexes the listener and he doesnt know what hit him. Here are a few which I found worth mentioning.
PISTA
"Because...its not easy"
Aup's friend R when being asked why is it so difficult for her to sit at one place and have breakfast

"Basically what they serve is essentially Afghani food"
Aup when asked what do you get at the Afghani restaurant Helmand

KULFI
"Actually..the work which I am going to do at XYZ (my new company) involves a lot of
customer interaction"
Aup when asked how he plans to go about doing the knowledge transfer to his team mates before he leaves his present company

"Arre awesome movie hai.. usme Rajdoot(motorcycle) hai"
Aup's roommate Chintan's first reaction while he came home and Balls was watching Chashme Badhdoor

"Meri jawani badi mast mast hai"
Paave singing to Sabri brothers' legendary tune "Teri Jawani Badi mast mast hai".

BETTER KULFI
"Yaahr..mein subah uthkar ek glass paani pee liya karta hoon "
PuPu when asked if he cares to come out for his daily ritual.

"Haan, nahi..matlab pata nahi yaar"
Marw when asked about his position on road from Baltimore to Philly.

"Apna to baat ho gaya tha naa ?"
Vcd when asked about the target while playing cricket at Aup's Mount Ridge house.

"Arre..aaj mujhe swing, pace, bounce and drift mila. Jab thak gaya to leg-spin daala..usme bhi googly,rippers, turners sab daal saka"
Aup's friend A ruminates over a satisfying day of "rubber-ball" cricket.
"I've left De Rossi to boil in his own soup. He's a fantastic guy but he must change his computer chip"
Marcello Lippi on Daniel De Rossi after the infamous elbowing incident.
THE HOLY GRAIL
"Vivek main tumhare liye apni jaan bhi de sakta hoon...magar mein bhagwaan mein vishwaas nahi rakhta"
Akshay Kumar to Sonu Nigam in Jaani Dushman.. take a bow!
For that matter every dialogue from Gunda is Kantiesque (in the true sense) but we have already had a discussion on that. I hope this is just a start and there are many many more to come.
