Don't drop that quote!

Series II : Crypto-beticals : Puzzle 2

 I was informed by a reader, to whom I owe munificent thanks, that last week's Crypto-betical was nearly identical to a form of puzzle called a "drop quote."  If the letters in the columns in a drop-quote puzzle are in alphabetical order, such a drop-quote would indeed be a Crypto-betical.  However, the Crypto-betical is a larger category. Its only rules are that  (1) the letters in  the solution are in alphabetical order in some way (by row, by column, by word length, etc.) and (2) that the entire solution is given 'cryptogram style' in blank squares.

It's my fault that the first one was a drop quote. It need not be.  Take this one, for example:

Hint (rollover to reveal):

1) What's with the blue squares? 2) Punctuation. 3) Letter combos, like q-u and z-z.
