"Does
anyone know how big the one that killed the dinosaurs was?" "You're gonna have more sex
than anyone in your class." "Really?" "They don't care about getting
killed. Only about looking good on
TV." "Look at the bright side. We'll all have high schools named after
us." "When I was 11, I took $32
from your wallet." "When you were a baby, I once
dropped you on your head." "Cities are fallen, but they
are re-built. Heroes die but they are
remembered." |
"65
Million Years Later" (Opening tag line) "It might be pieces of the
shuttle." "It might be Santa Claus. We should check it out!" "I wanna name her Dottie after
my wife. She's a vicious life-sucking
bitch from which there is no escape." "That's sweet, Carl." "Grace." "Hi, Harry." "I asked you repeatedly to
call me dad." "Sorry, Harry." "This is pretty much the
smartest man on the planet. You might
wanna listen to him." "The United States government
just asked you to save the world." "You're already heroes. Sit back and enjoy the ride." "Men, this is what we trained
for. Now suck it up!" "Captain America here overshot
the landing site by 26 miles." "How the hell do you know
that?" "Because I'm a genius." "Oh man, what are you doing
with a gun in space." "Houston, you have a
problem." "Get off the nuclear
warhead." "I just wanna feel that kind
of power between my legs." "Well, we all gotta die, right? I'm the guy who gets to do it saving the
world." |
