NOTE: Thanks to everyone for your contributions! The deadline has now passed and I am starting work immediately.
P.S. Our Speed Reading – Quotes Project is now complete!
Hi again. It’s time for another collaborative project. Thanks for all your great submissions of flags and pictures last time. It’s lovely to see the worldwide connections.
Let’s do another activity!
For this project, I ask your help again. If you are interested, please submit one screencap of Richard Armitage or one of his characters and a quote. The picture and quote need not be from the same scene.
Just paste your image link and quote in the comments box below. Your picture can be from your favorite fansite such as RichardArmitageNet.Com or your own stash on imageshack or photobucket, etc.
If you need help finding a quote, there is a collection of sound files on RichardArmitagenet.Com: http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/sounds.html
Below is an example:
1. https://fanvideos.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/lucas_north.png
2. “I don’t like to wait.” The quote is from the Spooks episode where Lucas poses as a rich Russian.
Just for fun, can you tell me which episodes of Spooks my screencap is from? I ask because I really don’t know, LOL! 😀
The deadline is Monday, April 23 at 12 noon New York City time. Have fun and I’ll post the resulting project by Friday, April 27.
Thanks again for your help and fun! 😀
NOTE: Thanks to everyone for your contributions! The deadline has now passed and I am starting work immediately.
bccmee's Richard Armitage Vids & Graphics 
Here is my proposition :
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/RobinHood/album/Series1Promo/album/slides/1-12.html
With the text : Oh, I’m a very good boy…
Ok, this phrase is from “Strike back”, but I think it matches good with this pic, lol.
@april73: Oooh, that’s a lovely Guy picture. I like how you took a quote from another show entirely. Clever you! Thanks so much for your contribution. 😀
Hi b. I’m pretty certain your quote is from Spooks Series 8, ep 6. When the team is trying to save Britain from going financially bankrupt! Good choice! 🙂
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/Spooks/spooks8/album/Episode6/slides/ep6_077.html
I’ll send you my quote this weekend!
@Emma: Nice choice of Lucas North in spy-glasses, LOL! I look forward to your quote soon. 😀 I appreciate you tracking down the episode from my own quote, thanks!
Hi Bcc, thank you for the new project! It’s going to be fun! 🙂
Love it when he smiles like this, looking down, the hint of shyness is so endearing:
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/Richard/Promos/2008Promo/slides/JCanning-031.html
Quote: “Come and find out” from the Lorraine Kelly show answering the “are the tattoos real” question.. He said it so sexily..For me one of the things that makes RA so irresistible is this combination of shyness and sexiness…
@Judit: You’re right, that is such a sweet picture, thanks! And a delightful quote! I appreciate your thoughtful contributions! 😀
Your new projects are always exciting… wow!!!!
I just don’t get tired of looking at RA pictures… the problem is usually to choose one… lol
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/Richard/EventsandAppearances/ChildBAFTA_261106/slides/ChildBAFTA05.html
Quote: “You’re coming home with me.” (Guy of Gisborne)
@Luciana: It’s very difficult to choose, LOL! That’s why I always require help. 😉 Thanks so much for your Richard Armitage image and lovely Guy quote! 😀
Hi,Bcc, I’m excited again about your new project.You are spoiling us, did you know?One week has been too long to wait.Thanks a million, I adore to make part in these ones.
My contribuitions:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/692/snapshot6k.jpg/
Quote: Do not look at me like that I melt!
@Tereza Tassuett: Guy is quite a chaRActer! Such a gorgeous screencap, thanks! Nice job making up your own quote. It suits perfectly! 😀
Btw, the quote I made up it. if it doesn´t fit, I´ll send another later. See you! Now,I need to go to my job.Have a great weekend!
@Tereza Tassuett: It’s a gReAt idea to make up your own quote and I appReciAte your cReAtivity! 😉
Thank you for this new project Bccmee. It’s exciting!
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/RobinHood/album/Series2Promo/album/slides/2-09.html
The quote is from Richard himself (not a character) :
“Bad guys have all the fun”
I think your pic of Lucas is in the season 1 episode 4 , because of this screencap from RA.net :
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/Spooks/album/ep4/slides/4_142.html
@Lady Prisca: Perfect quote to go with your Guy picture, thanks!
Oh good job finding the episode my screencap came from! I made it while working on a fanvideo and he looked so perfectly beautiful I couldn’t resist. ♥
I can’t wait to see the end result of your new project. 🙂 Here’s my proposal:
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/RobinHood/album/seasontwo/Episode11/slides/rh211_053.html
Quote: “You do not speak to me”- sir Guy to Marian.
Have a great weekend!
@Ania: There is something very appealing about those gloves! 😉 That’s a great screencap and quote, thanks!
I am back with an old favorite, Philip Turner from Inspector Lynley. The picture is here:
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/ILM/album/slides/ilm_36.html
and the In Divine Proportion episode is now on YouTube. The first RA bit is at around 7:30 of part 2. This quote is from part 3 at around 1:25:
“In the last year I’ve lost everything and I realize that I never really had anything to loose. Strange feeling, desperately spending your life clinging on to things you don’t really want. Probably I should be up a mountain somewhere chanting. But I’m not, I’m here. 36 fairly pointless years here on earth. I aspire to nothing in my future and I might not be half way through my life.”
That’s a really long quote, any part (or no part) of it is good.
Thanks for all your hard work. I look forward to seeing the next project.
@Kathleen: That really is a lovely screencap, thanks! I have all of Richard Armitage’s shows on DVD for fanvidding but I haven’t made time to watch this program yet. I must do so soon. Thanks so much for your helpful and thoughtful contributions! 🙂
Harry Kennedy from the Vicar of Dibley: http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/VOD/album/VOD1/slides/vod1-123.html
Quote: “I reckon you’re a teacher.”
– think I got all that right. Please correct me if I am wrong.
@Brooke: That’s a very funny scene, thanks! 😀
You know it’s gonna be Guy 🙂
“The bad guys have all the fun!”

I just noticed someone used this quote but I think the picture rather suits 🙂
Let me try that pic agian.
http://richardarmitagecentral.co.uk/v/Main+Gallery/Robin+Hood/Series+3DVD/Ep12/RH31200114.jpg.html
@jeanniegisborne: Thanks for the very well-matched Guy picture and RA quote! 😀
Pingback: Legenda 23: Stuff worth reading « Me + Richard Armitage
So many choices, b! I cheated and added two. The second might be a bit naughty! 😉
But first, Guy and Meg (aww…) Robin Hood series 3, episode 9
“You made me think about someone I used to know”
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/RobinHood/album/seasonthree/Episodenine/slides/epnine_078.html
And now, cheeky Lucas (one of the few times we saw him relaxed and funny). Spooks series 7, episode 4
“What are you best at; the real thing or faking it?”
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/Spooks/album/ep4/slides/4_161.html
Looking forward to the magic you come up with. Have a great weekend!
@Emma: Choices are always nice, thanks! Great selections. 😀
ooohhh I love quotes and to match to pics this is so right up my alley!
Picture
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/Spooks/Spooks9/album/episode2/album/slides/2_188.html
Now the quote is from series 8 ep 2 “Bloody internet.” but the pic is from series 9 ep 2 – I just like ’em together PLUS I use the phrase bloody internet all the time especially when it’s giving me a hard time!
I am submitting a second quote & pic – they too are also from different series (quote from series 8 ep 4 – pic from series 7 ep 1) but it is actually my favourite Lucas quote and to really get it…you kinda need Harry’s part..
Harry Pearce: Lucas, you invited a man who repeatedly tortured you, into your private space. What do you think a psychologist will say about that?
Lucas North: No idea, but I have a feeling it might be in Latin.
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/Spooks/album/ep1/slides/spooks701_058.html
Use one or the other, both or neither….this was fun!
OK – just one more
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/TGH/album/TGH3/slides/TGH3-11.html
“…with tongues”
@tyme4t: Haha, great choices! Hmmm… it’s going to be difficult to decide….
Hi Bccmee!
I chose John Standring in Sparkhouse, because he is often overlooked. But I really go for the big teddy bears–married one. Ha!
Here is the picture (just after John and Carol are married and he is moving in with her):
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/sparkhouse/album/Episode3/slides/SH3_144.html
John’s quote to her with this picture (related to the revelation that Lisa is her daughter) is a very tender:
“Never think you can’t tell me things.”
He melts my heart every time I hear him whisper that to her. Sighhh!
Here is the vid with the line in it at 3:06: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXPDO4ZsI0o
Cheers! Grati ;->
@Gratiana: A lovely and worthy quote and picture, thanks! 😀
This is a great idea!! 🙂 Here are my choices – hope you don’t mind I have actually chosen three and all the quotes are Richard’s own about the roles he is playing.
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/Spooks/spookspromo/album/slides/series7-26.html
Quote – “I wanted to make sure that when [Lucas] was described as malnourished I wouldn’t stand there looking all healthy.”
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/StrikeBack/album/series1/BehindtheScenes/album/slides/behind-the-scenes-08.html
Quote – “I’m always jumping off things on set, on an adrenalin high. At the end of a take people suddenly run up to me waving cotton swabs because I’m bleeding and haven’t noticed”
http://richardarmitagecentral.co.uk/v/Main+Gallery/Robin+Hood/Series+2/Episode+6/vlcsnap-00967.jpg.html?
Quote – “There was a huge debate about this last year because everyone thought [Guy’s outfit] was plastic. But no, it’s definitely leather.”
After many careful studies we were in total agreement!!! 😀
@Teuchter: You’re killing me, woman! Choices, choices, LOL! 😀 Thanks for your contributions!
Here is my pic choice
http://richardarmitagecentral.co.uk/v/Main+Gallery/Sparkhouse_001/Episode+3/vlcsnap-00626.jpg.html
Quote – “It’s quite funny – no, it’s hilarious to be considered as a sex symbol. In school I was a beanpole with a nose I hadn’t grown into”
@Jo Milne: Ah, the makeover scene! Yes, that’s a great quote and picture, thanks! 😀
Hi Bcc. Another great idea. Thanks for thinking these things up. So here’s the thing. It needs to be Porter for me but it was soooo hard to choose. In the end I can’t resist this little grin and crinkly eyes. Still from SB Ep 2 Zimbabwe.
http://richardarmitagecentral.co.uk/v/Main+Gallery/Strik+Back/Episode+2+-+Zimbabwe/vlcsnap-00208.jpg.html
Quote (which I hope is not too long) is from SB Ep 1.
“Listen, I’d settle for an R and you can call be Romeo.”
Thanks again for the opportunity to take part. ♥
Sorry. That should read “call me Romeo” – but I think you could have guessed that. LOL!
…and yes it’s magwi again. Phone doesn’t register my login. Duh!
@magwi: Mmm, I still adore John Porter! Thanks so much for your fantastic quote and picture! 😀
Wonderful idea bccme!
This is the picture, from Robin Hood, promotional photo:
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/RobinHood/album/Series1Promo/album/slides/1-21.html
And here is the sound: “See you in the dark side”- Guy of Gisborne, but I don’t know exactily which season. It’s from the http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/sounds.html
Thank you for your great work!
mariana says: Anonymus April 21,2012 at:5.00 am it’s me, mariana…
@mariana: Nice selections! I appreciate your contributions.
Some people were having trouble commenting on my blog so I now allow anonymous comments, so thanks for letting me know who you are! 😀
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/VOD/album/VOD1/slides/vod1-005.html
And my quote is one I would want to say “Please. Let me In.”
@lucylou: Mmm, I still adore Harry Kennedy and I would’ve definitely accepted his invitation to come in! ♥ Thanks for your submission!
Ooh, I adore quotes! Another great idea, Bccmee.
Here’s my quote:
“I like the fact that there’s a community out there, getting together and enjoying themselves because something I’ve done.” RA said this in 2008, I hope he still thinks so. 😉
For the picture, because no one chose him yet:
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/nands/album/episode4/slides/ns4-357.html
@Fabi: Excellent quote, thanks! You’re right, nobody had yet selected John Thornton even though that’s the character that started it all for many of us! 😀
If I may add other proposals, this time with Richard’s personal quotes, so here are:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/403/panthornton.jpg/
“You can spend a bit of yourself when you give yourself to a character. At the end of a job, you have to remind yourself who and what you are.”
or http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/Richard/Promos/ProjectMagJuly2011/album/slides/MattHolyoak-12.html
“I don’t think actors need to go on pedestals. I don’t buy it. I think it’s a weird thing. It’s like you become someone else, like stepping into another universe.”
@Ania: Oooh, more choices, thanks! I appreciate your time and effort! 😀
http://www.richardarmitagecentral.co.uk/v/Main+Gallery/Robin+Hood/Series+2/Episode+5/vlcsnap-00399.jpg.html
I hope this Spooks quote fits: “Close your eyes!”
@raddicted: Most excellent! That is a great crossover of two shows. Thanks so much for your time and effort. 😀
I realized how hard it can be to find a quote for a picture I like and this one was the one that worked. Have to watch the series again though, would help a lot but had no time. So only a few Mr. Armitage voices in my head, like “Touch and go.” *lol* Or then his audiobooks/cbeebies but that was even harder to work with (for me). So you can truly say that the difficulty of the task chose the outcome. Nevertheless I loved it, I love the idea and I’m looking forward to the end product.
I’m a little lazy this week, BCC, so this is the very first I thought of:
I hope you’ll like the match! LOL!
Quoting GoG S3 Ep The Enemy of my Enemy: “So, where do you want me to sleep, then?”
Image from Spooks S8 Ep5: http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/Spooks/spooks8/album/Episode5/slides/ep5_030.html
@Carla: Ooh, perfect mix and match! Wow I love that picture of sleeping Lucas! ♥
Great that one of these pictures is in too. My mind just refused a quote for them. Love this quote. Seems like Spooks and Robin Hood go along well with each other *lol*.
I hope you don’t mind me adding another picture and quote but after listening to some of the sound bites on RAnet.com, I felt these went together rather well!! 😉
The quote is from Spooks 7 when Lucas asks Ros what she was best at – “The real thing or faking it?” and this scene came to mind from Series 8!! 😀
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/Spooks/spooks8/album/Episode5/slides/ep5_271.html
@Teuchter: Haha, nice one! Thanks for another choice. 😀
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/StrikeBack/album/series1/Episode6HD/slides/ep6hd_023.html
Quote: “I forget, can I phone a friend”
I have that clip as my ringtone on my phone and startup on my computer. I love it when someone calls me!
Meant to add, quote is from Strike Back!
@Carolyn: That’s a great image and quote. How fun you have the quote set as your ringtone, LOL! If I had your number, I’d call you often so you could hear it. 😉
How could I go past the uber sexy Guy of Gisborne, S2 Epi 11.
Guy and Allan have thwarted the Sheriffs guards, yeah I know not that tricky!! Marion is now safely back in the castle, Guy strides into her room….fast fwd to this piece…it has it all, the smirk, the husky voice.
http://www.richardarmitagecentral.co.uk/v/Main+Gallery/Robin+Hood/Series+2/Episode+11/vlcsnap-01324.jpg.html
Quote – GUY: “Stay…and make this place bearable”
OMG swoon & squee ♥♥♥♥
@merisguy: Mmm, that’s a great line and screencap. I’m definitely a Marian/Guy shipper! ♥
And all he got as thanks was a kiss on the cheek. Silly, silly Marian!!
Hi bccmee! Oh goody, another project! 😉
Can I offer 2 pics/2 quotes, whichever fit in best with the rest of your selections….. All Lucas (surprise, surprise!)….
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/Spooks/spookspromo/album/slides/series8-15.html
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/Spooks/spooks8/album/Episode6/slides/ep6_126.html
and the quotes
“I’m MI-5. I was MI-5 when we married. MI-5 all those years in prison and I’m MI-5 now.”
“I spent 8 years in a Russian cell – 8 years, because I stayed loyal to my country. I still chew it over, when I’m lying awake at 3am wondering ‘was it worth it’? But yeah. It was. Because I look at you with all your brilliance and all your treachery and I see everything that I’ve ever fought against.”
I realise the second is a bit long, but please cut if you think best!
Looking forward to seeing this one!
hugs xx
@Jennie: Wow, stunning Lucas pictures and great quotes! Thanks for the lovely choices! 😀
For some reason this pairing has stuck in my mind, although technically maybe the quote doesn’t count because TH hasn’t been released!
The quote is Thorin’s “I cannot guarantee his safety, nor will I be responsible for his fate,”
paired with Porter driving off at the end of ep.6
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/StrikeBack/album/series1/Episode6HD/slides/ep6hd_098.html
If that doesn’t work, my second choice would be John Thornton’s “I wish to marry you because I love you.”
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/nands/album/episode2/slides/ns2-246.html
@Mezz: That Thorin quote suits perfectly, thanks! And who doesn’t love that line from N&S? You’ve given great quote/image pairs that really tell a story, thanks! 😀
Oh Mezz, the eyelashes on pic# are killing me!!! It’s not fair for a man to have such lush lashes! 🙂
…pic #2!
Judit, that’s why I chose that pic instead of one later on in the scene. 🙂
I kept coming back to the eyelashes. And that magnificent nose in profile!
Hi, dear!
I’m submitting two choices 🙂 Please feel free to use one or both or neither, lol The first quote is “Be selfish for once…Say yes.” with THIS image, hehe
http://www.google.com/imgres?q=lucas+north&start=37&num=10&hl=en&biw=1024&bih=612&tbm=isch&tbnid=nZDYzdHFkJAFCM:&imgrefurl=http://www.fanpop.com/spots/spooks/images/14430823/title/lucas-north-photo&docid=Gw2fB_JD7miZIM&imgurl=http://images2.fanpop.com/image/photos/14400000/Lucas-North-spooks-14430823-355-400.jpg&w=355&h=400&ei=1LmUT9mKOtTvgge7-4XuBA&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=279&vpy=321&dur=87&hovh=238&hovw=211&tx=118&ty=184&sig=106917708924488139475&page=3&tbnh=133&tbnw=118&ndsp=20&ved=1t:429,r:16,s:37,i:85
The second quote is “Five miles outside of Dakar…in an unmarked grave. That’s where Lucas North is.” I am including this image with that quote http://www.google.com/imgres?q=lucas+north+and+ruth&hl=en&biw=1024&bih=655&tbm=isch&tbnid=MVo230drPA194M:&imgrefurl=http://spooksfanblog.com/category/visuals/&docid=8rZYwiLQ_aN0BM&imgurl=http://spooksfanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/spooks-78-lucas.jpg&w=520&h=292&ei=FLuUT5i-H8icgwe2yPnXBA&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=97&vpy=306&dur=464&hovh=157&hovw=257&tx=111&ty=83&sig=106917708924488139475&page=4&tbnh=141&tbnw=198&start=50&ndsp=17&ved=1t:429,r:5,s:50,i:196
Can’t wait to see the finished project!!!
@Margie: Awesome, thanks for your thoughtful choices! 😀
@Margie: Not sure if you’re going to see this, but someone on YouTube asked me where your quote came from and I don’t know the answer. 😀 Can you let me know? Thanks again!
Great idea Bccmee 🙂
Here’s one that I hope has not been submitted yet.

I hope you realize that any foolish passion on my part for you is over. I am looking to the future.
This is from episode 3 of North and South. One of many scenes that just makes my heart ache.
@pamsingh: That is such a touching quote and screencap, thanks! ♥
A late inclusion – Richard at the Powhiri ceremony. My heart bursts with pride every time I see this video. ♥

@mersguy: Oh wow, that’s a great image and quote. Thanks very much for your contributions! 😀
Hi Bccmee!
Posting against the clock, no time to check if it has been post yet sorry!
The pic is from The Vicar of Dibley “The Handsome Stranger”
http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/VOD/album/VOD1/slides/vod1-202.html
and the quote is the epic “you owe me the sum of one kiss with tongues” which makes me laugh so childishly every time I hear it. ‘Cos I’m from the time when a kiss with tongues was really an achievement you know?
Love and thanks 😉
Ana
@Ana: The Vicar of Dibley is such a funny show! And that line is brilliant. Thanks very much for your screencap and quote! 😀
I get so stressed I’m goin to miss one of these projects 😉
