** Just prior to that, Val and Earl are trying to warn Burt and Heather over the radio about the Graboids, coming from underground. Burt can't hear them because Heather just started up a loud machine in their underground bunker. The Graboid breaks through the wall, cut to Val hearing Burt over the radio shout "JESUS CHRIST!" and Val drops the radio mike, clearing thinking Burt and Heather are goners. Then a gunshot echoes across the valley. Then ''lots'' of gunshots. Leading to. . .

!!Tremors 2: Aftershocks

* "I feel I was denied ''critical'', NEED TO KNOW, '''information'''!"
** "I am ''completely'' out of ammo." ''baffled pause'' "That's never happened to me before.."
* The epic thinky-face Earl has right before he has the gang spray him with a fire extinguisher.
* As Grady and Earl get ready to settle in for the night.
-->*coyote howls in the darkness*\\
"That a coyote?"\\
"Yup."\\
"Man, he'd better shut up."\\
"Hooooooww-" CHOMP\\
"Yup."
* Burt testing out an alternative of killing Graboids with explosives - modified from the first film's timed-cannon-fuse-in-pipe-bomb trick - by sticking C4 on to a remote controlled toy tank. After he hits the detonator...
-->*massive explosion, sending dirt and guts flying and raining onto Burt*\\
"Memo: Four pounds of C4 may be a little..." *some pebbles rain down on his helmet* "...[[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill excessive]]."
** ...followed by a shot of Earl and Grady picking Graboid Gibs off of their truck, a mile or more away.
* Burt tries out a very powerful rifle on one of the Shriekers, and it basically explodes, and he's all proud of himself... until they find out the bullet punched through the bastard, a stone wall, a metal shed, several barrels, and straight into the engine of their would-be escape vehicle. "I didn't know! How could I have known!?"
* A fun little reveal: As Burt is in his rec room talking to Earl, the camera pans around and reveals the head of the Graboid stuffed and mounted on the wall.
** In the same scene; Burt blaming his marital problems on [[WhyWeAreBummedCommunismFell the fall of the Soviet Union]].

!!Tremors 3: Back To Perfection

* When Burt first encounters El Blanco right outside his compound after the government agents banned him from killing graboids he has a hilarious one-sided conversation with the white graboid:
-->'''Burt:''' Well, [[ShoutOut call me]] [[MobyDick Ishmael]]. Now if you'd just kindly lean your endangered carcass over my property line. *readies rifle* Just call your untimely demise self-defense.
* In the third film, Burt, under the assumption that eating makes Ass-blasters reproduce like Shriekers, blow up his compound to keep one from getting into the food supply. Just as the explosion dies down, he finds out that eating makes Ass-blasters ''comatose''. His reaction is what sells it.
-->'''Burt:''' What sort of supreme being could condone such irony?
* The final scene in the third film when Burt drives off and leaves Melvin stranded on the boulder. Melvin cursing him even through the credits makes it even funnier.
* After Burt gets eaten and Jack tricks the Graboid into hitting the underground wall of his Compound, Jack proceeds to cut the Graboid open with a chainsaw much to Jodie's protest. (She didn't know Burt was in there.) Out comes Burt covered in slime, nonchalantly taking his sunglasses and putting them on saying the following line.
--> '''Burt:''' [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain I prefer....we keep this....to ourselves.]]
** Even Better? Burt is shaking. Not from fear but from complete disgust over the fact he was eaten and what he saw.]]

!!Tremors 4: The Legend Begins

* When confronted by the Graboids Hiram pulls out his chosen weapon...a tiny .22 pea-shooter.
--> '''Hiram:''' Well you told me to find something I was comfortable with!\\
'''Black Hand Kelly:''' (in disbelief) It's true. I did say that.
* Hiram Gummer's EpicFail in ''Tremors 4:''
--> "You missed! WITH A CANNON!"
