When I reached the summit of Everest, I scooped some ice into my drinking bottle as I'd run out of water and hoped it would melt. After I got back to base camp, I decided to keep it, so I had a special bottle made with an inscription - it's my lucky water.

Somebody said something funny to me the other day. They said, 'Wolper, until two weeks ago, your tombstone was going to say, 'David Wolper, the man who produced 'Roots.' I think the tombstone now has a new inscription. It's going to be 'David Wolper, the man who produced the opening ceremony of the 1984 Olympics.'

I love you is the inscription on Pandora's box.

Making a mix CD - albeit slightly old school - is generally a pretty cool gift and something I like to receive, or giving someone a book that moved you. Writing an inscription inside makes it even better.

They say the test of literary power is whether a man can write an inscription. I say, 'Can he name a kitten?'

King Arthur: [about the inscription on the rock] What does it say, Brother Maynard?
Brother Maynard: It reads, "Here may be found the last words of Joseph of Aramathia. He who is valiant and pure of spirit may find the holy grail in the Castle of Aaauuuggghhh... "
King Arthur: What?
Brother Maynard: "The

Castle of Aaaauuuggghhhh"
Sir Bedevere: What is that?
Brother Maynard: He must have died while carving it.
King Arthur: Oh come on!
Brother Maynard: Well, that's what it says.
King Arthur: Look, if he was dying, he wouldn't have bothered to carve 'Aaaauuuggghhhh'. He'd just say

it.
Sir Galahad: Maybe he was dictating it.
King Arthur: Oh shut up!
Sir Robin: Well does it say anything else?
Brother Maynard: No, just "Aaaaauuuugggghhh".
[knights making groaning sounds]
Sir Bedevere: Do you think he could have mean, 'Camaaaauuuuggghhhh'?

Sir Galahad: Where's that?
Sir Bedevere: France, I think.
Sir Lancelot: Isn't there a Saint "Aaaaavvvveeeesss" in Cornwall?

Sir Lancelot: Oh, yes. "Iiiiiivvvveeessss"!
[All knights saying, "Iiiiiivvvveeessss"]
Sir

Bedevere: Whooooouuuuaaa!
Sir Lancelot: No no no, it's "Aaaaauuuugggghhhh" from the back of the throat.
Sir Bedevere: No I mean, "Whoooouuuuaaa!" as in surprise and alarm.
Sir Lancelot: Oh, you mean like, "AAAHH!"
Sir Bedevere: Yes, that's it. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Poe Dameron: The inscription that was on the dagger is in your memory?
C-3PO: Yes, Master Poe. But the translation from a forbidden language cannot be retrieved. That is, short of a complete redacted memory bypass.
Finn: A complete what?
C-3PO: It's a terribly dangerous and sinful act performed on unwitting

droids by dregs and criminals.
Finn: Let's do that!
Poe Dameron: I know a black market droidsmith.
C-3PO: Black market droidsmith?
Poe Dameron: But he's on Kijimi.
Finn: What's wrong with Kijimi?
Poe Dameron: I had a little bad luck on Kijimi.

Poe Dameron: We've only got eight hours left. So what are we gonna do?
Finn: What can we do? We gotta go back to base.
Poe Dameron: We don't have time to go back. We are not giving up. If we do that, Chewie died for nothing.
Finn: Poe, Chewie had the dagger.
Poe Dameron: Well, then we

gotta find another way.
Finn: Well, there isn't. That was the only clue to the wayfinder thing, and it's gone.
C-3PO: So true. The inscription lives only in my memory now.
