Here is a collection of sounds derived from American films and television. All of these sound bites mean a great deal to me, having assumed icon status from repetition in the mediasphere. Download 'em, collect 'em, trade 'em. Needless to point out that I got them from someone who got them from someone else who probably taped them off his video recorder. Copyright? What that? Get a real job.
