Fav quote from Drag Race All Stars' second episode of Untucked:
Yara: "I'm wearing a woman's clothes and a woman's make-up but I have feelings, I'm a human being."
Latrice: "All I know is that it takes a really strong man to become a woman."

American Horror Story: Nor'easter
Summary of "The Sign of the Cross" from IMDB:
"After burning Rome, Emperor Nero decides to blame the Christians, and issues the edict that they are all to be caught and sent to the arena. Two old Christians are caught, and about to be hauled off, when Marcus, the highest military official in Rome, comes upon them. When he sees their stepdaughter Mercia, he instantly falls in love with her and frees them. Marcus pursues Mercia, which gets him into trouble with Emperor (for being easy on Christians) and with the Empress, who loves him and is jealous."
Another interesting summary from this site.
This article explains:
In 1932, DeMille straddled the line between vice and virtue in the pre-production code epic The Sign of the Cross. The film attracted huge audiences by displaying the stereotypically lavish bacchanalian excesses of Ancient Rome, including orgies, nudity, and suggested lesbianism, all the while insisting that such "depravities" were a scourge on society. One of the most notorious scenes includes Hollywood star Claudette Colbert bathing in a giant tub of asses’ milk.
Lyrics from "You'll Never Walk Alone" from Carousel:
When you walk through a storm
Keep your chin up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At he end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never walk alone.
(notable versions of this song sung by Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Elvis, Doris Day among others)
