Hill

A hill is a landform that extends above the surrounding terrain. It often has a distinct summit, although in areas with scarp/dip topography a hill may refer to a particular section of flat terrain without a massive summit (e.g. Box Hill, Surrey).

Terminology

The distinction between a hill and a mountain is unclear and largely subjective, but a hill is universally considered to be less tall and less steep than a mountain. In the United Kingdom, geographers historically regarded mountains as hills greater than 1,000 feet (300 m) above sea level, which formed the basis of the plot of the 1995 film The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain. In contrast, hillwalkers have tended to regard mountains as peaks 2,000 feet (610 m) above sea level: the Oxford English Dictionary also suggests a limit of 2,000 feet (610 m) and Whittow states "Some authorities regard eminences above 600 m (2,000 ft) as mountains, those below being referred to as hills." The Great Soviet Encyclopedia defines hill as an upland with a relative height up to 200 m (660 ft).

    Quotes:

    Lady at Cricket Match: Captain has put himself into bat first. Clive Durham would've never done that.::Maurice Hall: He is our best man apparently.

    Alec Scudder: [Writing a letter to Maurice] Pretend to the other gentlemen that you want a stroll. It's easily managed. Then come down to the boathouse. Dear Sir, let me share with you once before leaving Old England if it's not asking too much.

    Maurice Hall: I'm walking on a volcano.

    Lasker-Jones: England has always been disinclined to accept human nature.

    Maurice Hall: I'm an unspeakable of the Oscar Wilde sort.

    Archie: Oh, cheer up, old man! What's gotten into you?::Maurice Hall: Would you believe - it's my birthday.

    Maurice Hall: England for me!

    Clive Durham: Maurice, I hope nothing is wrong?::Maurice Hall: Pretty well everything. You would think so.::Clive Durham: Very well, I'm at your service. My advice there is to sleep here tonight and ask Anne. Where a woman is in question, it's always better to ask another woman.::Maurice Hall: I'm not here to see Anne. [pauses] I'm in love with Alec Scudder.::Clive Durham: What a grotesque announcement.::Maurice Hall: [ironically] Most grotesque. But I felt I should tell you.::Clive Durham: Maurice, Maurice, we did everything we could when you and I clashed out the subject.::Maurice Hall: When you brought yourself to kiss my hand.::Clive Durham: Don't allude to that! Come in here. [lowers his voice] I am more sorry for you than I can possibly say and I do, do beg you to resist to return on this obsession.::Maurice Hall: I don't need advice. I'm flesh and blood Clive, if you'll condescend to such low things. I've shared with Alec.::Clive Durham: Shared what?::Maurice Hall: Everything. Alec slept with me in the Russet Room when you and Anne were away.::Clive Durham: [turns away from him] Oh God.::Maurice Hall: Also in town.::Clive Durham: The sole excuse for a relationship between two men is that it remains purely platonic. Surely you agree to that.::Maurice Hall: I don't know. I've come to tell you what I did.::Clive Durham: Well, Alec Scudder is in point of fact no longer in my service. In fact, he is no longer in England. He sailed for Buenos Aires this very day.::Maurice Hall: He didn't. He sacrificed his career for my sake. Without a guarantee. I don't know if that's platonic or not but it's what he did.::Clive Durham: missed his boat? Maurice, you're going mad! May I ask if you intend...::Maurice Hall: [interrupts him] No, you may not ask. I told you everything up to this minute, not a word beyond.

    Lasker-Jones: You should not resist me. You're resisting me.::Maurice Hall: Damnit, I'm not!

    Alec Scudder: Was you calling for me, Sir? I know, Sir. It's all right. I know, Sir.

O'Niel follows the trail of the dealers, which leads to the man overseeing the colony. Now O'Niel must watch his back at every turn, as those who seek to protect their income begin targeting him...

    Lazarus: Such a smart piece of equipment, and a wreck like me trying to run it.

    Marshal William T. O'Neil: Are you Dr. Lazarus?::Lazarus: Yes. Take two aspirin and call me in the morning. That's a doctor joke.

    Marshal William T. O'Neil: Did you do autopsies?::Lazarus: No.::Marshal William T. O'Neil: Why not?::Lazarus: In the first place, the company wanted the bodies shipped out as quickly as possible. In the second place, when a person exposes themselves to zero-pressure atmosphere, there isn't a whole lot left to inspect. In the third place, you're becoming a nuisance.::Marshal William T. O'Neil: [blocking her path] Yes, I know. I'd like a report of all these incidents that have happened in last six months. I'd like it really soon. Or I might just kick your nasty ass all over this room. That's a marshal joke.

    Lazarus: You know, you haven't your medical all-star here. Company doctors are like ship's doctors. Most are just one shuttle flight ahead of a malpractice suit.

    Security Officer Slater: Some cupcake named "Cane" decided that he didn't need an environment suit. They're still sponging him off the elevator walls.

    Rudd: You're supposed to protect us! You're the police! It's your job! Where are your men?::Marshal William T. O'Neil: My men? My men are shit.

    Marshal William T. O'Neil: How deep are you in?::Security Sergeant Montone: Not too deep... I'm paid to look the other way.::Marshal William T. O'Neil: I get it. You don't do anything bad, you just don't do anything good, right?

    Security Sergeant Montone: Nelson, we're talking about nuclear detonators here. You don't just "lose" them and then "find" them. You lose your comb and then find it, but not detonators. Now I want to know where they were found, and who found them. You get my drift?

    Lazarus: Your wife is one stupid lady. You wanna go and get drunk?::Marshal William T. O'Neil: Yes...::Lazarus: At least you have SOME sense left.

    Station Manager Sheppard: If you're looking for money, you're smarter than you look. If you're not, you're a lot dumber.::Marshal William T. O'Neil: Then I'm probably a lot dumber.

    McSween: [about the murdered Tunstall] Lord God, this was a quiet man. He lived the way a man ought to live. He did not lie. He did not hurt. He listened to any man who spoke to him.

    Moultrie: [when he sees Billy] I knew you weren't dead!

    Billy The Kid: Does that notch...? Does that stand for a man?::Joe Grant: That's what it stands for.::Billy The Kid: You had to put that there so you'd remember?::Joe Grant: That's right.::Billy The Kid: Was he asleep when you shot him?

    Pat Garrett: [about the fragility of the amnesty] One shot - one ten cent bullet, and that's it!

    Billy The Kid: They had me dead! That amnesty - that's for THEM! For Moon and hill and Grant! They walk around! I'm buried! They put dimes on my eyes!

    Pat Garrett: This is my wedding, Billy. You try to start something, I'll take it hard.

I go where I want. I DO what I want! [He puts scarf around her neck and pulls her toward him in a provocative way]

    Stay In The Middle (featuring Samantha Mumba)

    I hold my head up, I
    I look to the sky
    Is there a heaven?
    Is this my life?
    And I wonder where I'm going
    I wonder if it's right
    What's the point of knowing
    If it's all a big surprise?
    Bridge:
    I wish, I might
    I read the signs
    Make the most of time
    Chorus:
    Stay in the middle
    Don't get pushed to the side
    Every chance that's worth taking
    Is a chance worth the fight
    Stay in the middle
    And take it in stride
    Don't let it go by
    Closed door's the question
    And the answer is the key
    To what we long for
    To what we want to be
    And it's not about the winning
    It's not about the prize
    It's finding out the meaning
    Of the laughter and the cries
    Bridge
    Chorus
    Don't let it go by
    When it's in your hands
    The chances you take
    Lead to where you now stand
