Scott Aaronson
Our plan is to get the job done this year. To leave no doubt on the floor.

It is hard enough to make a plan for how you are going to spend an evening with somebody else. So to make a plan for how you are going to behave in 25 years seems based on a view of life that is incomprehensible to me.
Wallace Shawn
We got the lead, kind of got relaxed and got out of the game plan.
Brad Jones
I'm close to coach MacDonald, and he became more of a friend than anything. I'm going to take a few days to clear my head and evaluate my options. When they get a new coach, I'll see what his plan is.

Mark Wells

Pat Gerard
The plan is now to fly it (this) morning to detect all the hot spots. Then we'll make a new plan from that.

Ricardo Martinez
If Comcast bought Disney, it certainly negates all the discussion of a succession plan for Eisner.

Branford did an excellent job in the second half. Their coach and kids are to be commended in the way they stuck to their game plan.

Karl Johnson
You would give up your career if you lost your voice for good, or if the impresarios stopped calling, or the audiences stopped coming. But as long as those things are there, I don't plan to stop. There is nothing that makes me feel better than to be with my public.

Joey David
By the later episodes, the spontaneity was partly a function of school work kicking in. We couldn't sit down and plan every segment [in detail] like we did with the first couple of episodes.
Josh Cincinnati
This will be questioned; it will be challenged. But in the end, we have to accept that God is working his plan. That must be true, or this whole thing we're living is a big joke.
David Clarke
You have to give the Rampage a lot of credit. Their game plan was to put the puck on net and keep it in their zone, and they were able to do that with pressure.

Rocco J. Calo
It's just a bad plan.
Soren Petro

Although the parliament session is to begin shortly, I plan to visit the Middle East to have an on the spot assessment of matters there very soon.
Vayalar Ravi
If he put on 25 pounds, he would be a force as a defender. That's his plan - to beef up this summer so he can play at the next level.
Jay Haugland
Fishing is just like playing baseball. You have to put a game plan together and you have to pre-fish. You try and get onto a pattern that the fish are doing. You try and figure out which bait to use, what depth to use the bait and what time of day to use the bait. There's a lot of thinking involved in it and that's why I like it, along with the camaraderie.
Phil Plantier
Always have a plan, and believe in it. Nothing happens by accident.
Chuck Knox
The better the information we have, the better we can plan. We're not perfect in our projections, but we are improving.

Joseph Becker
There's a lot of communication going on and that's why we're having a face-to-face meeting. We're not worried but we won't be satisfied until we have the (funding plan) approved.

Anne Thomas Manes
Gordon and I are prepared to do this. Broadway is the plan.
Jack Viertel
The Bush rate hike would have a devastating impact on our economy and jobs. I will not rest until the administration's plan is dead and gone.
Maria Cantwell
When you have one kid who is both a pitcher and a catcher, it's difficult because it's such a different mechanical delivery. Our plan is to use Josh a maximum of three to five innings (pitching) each week. If at the end of the year we need to use him more, we will.
Dan Ambrose
We fully support the apartment plan. It seems like a win-win situation.
Jeff Murray
It was our day. We had a good plan, and the kids executed. The kids showed a lot of heart and a lot of pride.
Tim Mcalpin
If the plan is as drastic as we think, we will strike immediately.
Gerry Morrissey
So isn't it ironic that Newt Gingrich is attempting to put his ethic problems behind him with a plan that requires a whole new investigation by the ethics committee?
David Bonior
Our plan was to push him away from the basket and make him use a dribble if he was going to make it to the basket and we didn't want the ball to come to him and have him be able to fan it out to the guards.
Craig Pippen
If it works, (patients) will be cured. It will be their own cells, so we don't plan to use any immune suppression or any drug.
