Index of Quotes in "All Over Again"
This is my index of intentional references in my stories. Think of it as a kind of bibliography. I have not included references that appear in the Ranma 1/2 series itself, since that could be considered just being in character. If you found them yourself, then great! Also, please note that the sources are entirely from memory, so corrections are more than welcome.

You talk like a hick! Your pig tail's a cow lick! You itch like a tick!" | Ranma (to Akane) | Ranma 1/2 (episode?) | This is an exception.

| "She's wrong." Ranma paced along the top of the fence. "I can't go back. What would it prove, anyway?" | Simba | The Lion King | Not a direct quote, but the jist of it is there. |

| "I'll be back." | Arnie | Every other Schwarzenegger movie ever made. | |
| "Make it sew." | Jean Luc Picard | Star Trek, Next Gen. | "Make it so." Actually, this scene was a bit too contrived and now lives on the cutting room floor. |
