"Angela Merkel: [singing] My economists told me we'd be talking a week I said, darling, all these figures, to me it's all Greek Everybody, everywhere wants some money And they wonder why we Germans don't find things funny If you bail out a nation you expect a little gratitude But let me tell you, baby, all you get's a lot of attitude One long, never-ending economic wreck At the end of which is Germany signing every cheque I'm a honey with the money and, honey, it ain't funny When the honey with the money has to shell out all the money And it's funny how the countries that suddenly need the money And whose idea was the Eurozone? [Angela scats] Far, far, far on the autobahn [Angela scats] Neunundneunzig Luftballons The pain in Spain gives me a migraine They exploit us all in Portugal Go to Slovakia, they just attack-ia When you're hanging out with Putin, don't put your foot in, Or else Putin will put his boot in There's an inner Putin, Vladimir Putin Mamma Mia don't mess in Crimea Crimea, Crimea Cry me a river, what are you going to do? Birgit: Sing! Sing! Angela Merkel: I like soul and R&B Crowd: And Eurovision secretly Angela Merkel: I speak Russian fluently Crowd: Good accent apparently Angela Merkel: Got a degree in chemistry Crowd: At Leipzig University Angela Merkel: I've never taken LSD Crowd: But she drinks beer occasionally Angela Merkel: Favourite sandwich, BLT Angela Merkel: Her middle name is Dorothy Angela Merkel: Eins, zwei, drei, vier Get me an Uber over here Ja."

"Angela Merkel: [singing] I thought they were my friends I thought that we were cool Now I'm like the schlummy dummy no-one likes at school Behind my back they're laughing Especially the Brits They're like, "Angela, whatever." Those stupid Brexit shits On the refugees I acted The moment when I ask for help they all gang up on me All on my own Here I am All on my own Who gives a damn? Ratings at an all time low Oh, man, it makes me blue Oh, Birgit, baby, be a buddy Tell me vhat to do Birgit: Don't let those schweine get you down They do not have a clue You're the EU anchor EU banker That's why they hate you Angela Merkel: Too true! Birgit: We've always worked things out Since we were oh so small Angela Merkel: So small! Birgit: Dreaming of another life on the right side of the wall Angela Merkel: I used to be so va-va-voom It all was so light-hearted Now when I walk into a room it's like, "Mein Gott, who farted?" All on my own [Birgit: No, you're not, my Chancellorette. Here I am] All on my own [Birgit: Nein, nein. Here I am I give a damn] Up scheisse creek with no paddle They've brought me to my knees So now it's just the two of us Birgit: And a million refugees"

"No script, no narrator, no host. There's a reason it's one of the longest-running shows on television."

"We've reached a point in time where we've gotten a little lax with our enthusiasm about science and our thirst for knowledge. . . . I hope that this Cosmos can instigate a reawakening of the same enthusiasm for science that the original Cosmos brought. - Seth MacFarlane, series executive producer."

"My greatest hope for this new Cosmos is that it has the same impact on someone, somewhere that the original had on me. Because it inspired in me a great interest in science, and in my case, science fiction. - Brannon Braga, series executive producer."

"How did we escape from the prison [of ignorance]? It was the work of generations of searchers who took five simple rules to heart. (1) Question authority. No idea is true just because someone says so, including me. Think for yourself. Question yourself. (2) Don't believe anything just because you want to. Believing something doesn't make it so. (3) Test ideas by the evidence gained from observation and experiment. If a favorite idea fails a well-designed test, it's wrong! Get over it. (4) Follow the evidence, wherever it leads. If you have no evidence, reserve judgment. And perhaps the most important rule of all: (5) Remember, you could be wrong."

"There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another and to preserve and cherish the Pale Blue Dot, the only home we've ever known. (Recording of Carl Sagan's voice over a re-imagining of the "Pale Blue Dot" image of Earth taken by Voyager 1.)"

"Open your eyes, and open your imagination. The next great discovery could be yours. - U.S. President Barack Obama, introducing the series premiere."

"There seems to be a mysterious force in the universe, one that overwhelms gravity on the grandest scale to push the cosmos apart. . . . We call it "dark energy," but that name, like "dark matter," is merely a code word for our ignorance. It's okay not to know all the answers. It's better to admit our ignorance than to believe answers that might be wrong. Pretending to know everything closes the door to finding out what's really there."

"The difference between seeing nothing but a pebble and reading the history of the cosmos inscribed inside it is science. (Discussing a slow-growing manganese nodule from the ocean floor which shows that a star near the Earth went supernova within the last two million years or so.)"

"What Cosmos has, at its heart, is hope. It's about the future we could have if we get our act together. - Ann Druyan, writer for both the 1980 Cosmos and the 2014 Cosmos, as well as an executive producer and director for the 2014 Cosmos."

"Civilization {should know} how to preserve itself. That's a good measure of intelligence, isn't it? Seeing what you're doing that's bad, and fixing that problem. - Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, series presenter / host."

"The important thing is not to suppress ideas. Freedom of thought is the life blood of science. That’s why {Giordano} Bruno’s story is important. - Astrophysicist Steven Soter, writer for both the 1980 Cosmos and the 2014 Cosmos."

"Now at last, Patterson was ready to tackle the iron meteorite, to find the true age of the Earth. [He discovered that the] world is four and a half billion years old. . . . His reward for this discovery? A world of trouble."

"[[w:Tetraethyllead | [T]etraethyl lead]] could be marketed as an anti-knock additive to gasoline [but a] half a cup of it on your skin could kill you. . . . What was needed was a man of science to calm the public's fears and improve lead's image. . . . This was one of the first times that the authority of science was used to cloak a threat to public health and the environment."

"No matter where he searched on Earth, no matter how far he traveled back in time, the . . . naturally occurring [lead] levels in the air and water in the past were far lower. . . . [[w:Clair Cameron Patterson#Campaign against lead poisoning | Patterson fought the industry for [more than] 20 years]] before lead was finally banned in US [gasoline and other] consumer products."

"Today, scientists sound the alarm on other environmental dangers. Vested interests still hire their own scientists to confuse the issue. But in the end, nature will not be fooled."

"For thousands of generations we watched the stars as if our lives depended on it, because they did. . . . [O]ur ancestors noticed that the motions of the stars across the nights of the year foretold changes on Earth that threatened or enhanced our chances for survival."

"[M]ore than two millennia ago, in the city of Alexandria . . . [t]he Ptolemys [built] the greatest library on Earth. . . . The total work product of the awakening of ancient civilization was kept here. . . . And all of it, all of this is but a tiny fraction of the information that you have at your fingertips at this very moment [in] our own electronic Library of Alexandria."

"Keep your eye on the man, not the dog. (Comparing the gradual curve of Tyson's path along a beach to climate and the erratic path of a dog Tyson is holding on a leash to weather.)"

"It's a pretty tight case. Our fingerprints are all over this one."

"More solar energy falls on Earth in one hour than all the energy our civilization consumes in an entire year. If we could harness a tiny fraction of the available solar and wind power, we could supply all our energy needs forever, and without adding any carbon to the atmosphere."
