Alex

• Well, well, well! Well if it isn't fat stinking billy goat Billy Boy in poison! How art thou, thou globby bottle of cheap stinking chip oil? Come and get one in the yarbles, if ya have any yarble, ya eunuch jelly thou!

• There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.

• Appy-polly-loggies. I had something of a pain in my gulliver so I had to sleep. I was not awakened when I gave orders for awakening.

• What we were after now was the old surprise visit. That was a real kick and good for laughs and lashings of the old ultraviolence.

• Initiative comes to thems that wait.

• Viddy well, little brother. Viddy well.

• It had been a wonderful evening and what I needed now, to give it the perfect ending, was a little of the Ludwig Van.

• [While listening to Beethoven's Ninth Symphony]

  Oh bliss! Bliss and heaven! Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh. It was like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now. As I slooshied, I knew such lovely pictures!

• No time for the old in-out, love, I've just come to read the meter.

• Suddenly, I viddied what I had to do, and what I had wanted to do, and that was to do myself in; to snuff it, to blast off for ever out of this wicked, cruel world. One moment of pain perhaps and, then, sleep for ever, and ever and ever.

• Eggiwegs! I would like... to smash them!

Dialogue

• Conspirator: Do you still feel suicidal?<p> Alex: Well, put it this way, I feel very low in myself. I can't see much in the future, and I feel that any second something terrible is going to happen to me. [slumps into spaghetti]

• [Alex encounters his old friends, who are now police]<p>Alex: It's impossible! I can't believe it!<p>Georgie: Evidence of the ol' glassies! Nothing up our sleeves, no magic little Alex! A job for two who are now of job age! The police!

• [Alex has just struck Dim on the legs]<p>Dim: What did you do that for?<p>Alex: For being a bastard with no manners, you haven't a dook of an idea how to comport yourself public-wise, O my brother!<p>Dim: I don't like you should do what you've done and I'm not your brother no more and wouldn't want to be.<p>Alex: Watch that, do watch that O Dim, if to continue to be on live thou, dost wist?<p>Dim: Yarbles! Great bolshy yarblockos to you. I'll meet you with chain or nozh or britva anytime. I'm not having you aiming tolchocks at me reasonless. It stands to reason, I won't have it.<p>Alex: A nozh scrap anytime you say.<p>Dim: Doobiedoob, a bit tired maybe, best not to say more. Bedways is rightways now, so best we go homeways and get a bit of spatchka. Right-right? <p>

Miscellaneous

• Billy Boy: Lets get 'em boys!
