->Why they came east I don't know. They had spent a year in France, for no particular reason, and then drifted here and there unrestfully wherever people played polo and were rich together. This was a permanent move, said Daisy over the telephone, but I didn't believe it--I had no sight into Daisy's heart but'' I felt that Tom would drift on forever seeking a little wistfully for the dramatic turbulence of some irrecoverable football game.

->'''Numero Cinco:''' We fought monsters and gangsters. ''Vampiros.'' We were heroes. We protected the weak...Surely you have heard about our great victory over the Devil's Robot?\\

->Meeting with Dreiberg left bad taste in mouth. A flabby failure sits whimpering in his basement. Why are so few of us left active, healthy, and without personality disorders? The First Nite Owl runs an autorepair shop. The first Silk Spectre is a bloated, aging whore dying in a California rest resort. Dollar Bill got his cape stuck on a revolving door where he got gunned down.

->I’m trying to give my sons an education about movies as well. You sit there and watch a comedy, let’s say ''Film/MeetTheFockers'', and it’s Creator/RobertDeNiro. You tell them this guy was at one time considered the greatest living actor. My boys look at me and say, 'Really? ''This'' guy?'

->Here you've got [[Wrestling/HulkHogan a 46-year-old bald movie star wannabe who looks like Uncle Creepy with a good build]] taking on [[Wrestling/RoddyPiper a guy with an artificial hip that hadn't wrestled a full schedule in ten years.]] It's a tribute to the massive egotism, in my mind, of both men and indictment of Wrestling/{{WCW}}'s promotional policies that this match even took place.

->Everyone’s old enough to qualify for Medicare, and yet they’re still running around and getting naked and rolling around in the dirt like they’re the same age as when they made the original series. Nichelle Nichols certainly looks good for her age here, but I think most ''Trek'' fans would prefer these characters presented in a slightly more dignified way.

->'''Jay''': You know when Wrestling/ScottHall tries to do a machismo thing in 2013, and it's a bit sad? This is like a drunk, stoned woman trying to do her "[[FanDisservice sexy dance]]".\\
'''V1''': And all you really wanna do is cover her up and buy her a cup of tea.

->That cheerleading outfit isn't making you look any younger, [[{{Music/Madonna}} Madge]]. It's time for you to stop putting out aggressively bland comeback albums and make room for Music/{{Kesha}} and [[Music/KatyPerry Katy]] and the other 800 female artists out there who change outfits every five minutes to distract people from their terrible singing.

->The audience got some insight into how reckless [[Wrestling/RicFlair Flair’s]] financing is, and all it took was some pen-and-paper arithmetic [[FromTheMouthsOfBabes by Wendy’s pre-teen son]]...Kitty later confronted Ric, and in their heart-to-heart talk, she said she believed that Ric was spending so frivolously to try to hold on to that rush of excitement from his glory days in the ring. Ric [[ManlyTears welled up with tears]], as if in agreement, showing a very human side to the Nature Boy. Then he [[MachoMasochism punched open his old forehead scars]] and called the cops on Kitty for domestic assault. Nah, maybe I embellished just slightly right there.

->[[Creator/StevenSeagal Steven (Seagal)]] started out surprisingly strong, considering his obvious acting limitations. ''Film/UnderSiege'' wasn't too bad, despite my standing claim that Steven wasn't really the star and that [[ObligatoryJoke the battleship out-acted him.]]... But the years have not been kind to ol' Steven. It seems that he's blown all his cash to feed his Ding-Dong habit, as you'll notice if you pick up anything of his since ''Film/ExitWounds''. He's so tubby in ''Film/HalfPastDead'' that almost every shot of him is in [[CloseupOnHead extreme close-up]] so you can't see his ponderous paunch and huge jiggly ass. The few times you do see him from the neck-down, he's [[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy in gigantic baggy prison chinos and sporting a hilarious dew-rag]]. But in truth, Steven's [[ObviousStuntDouble stuntman]] gets most of the camera time anymore. He's more walrus now than man, and if he were to seriously try any of that aikido shit anymore he'd herniate himself so bad his stomach would rupture and he'd drown the crew in gravy.

->As the morons crawl up the slope of the dune on their hands and knees [?], we get [[FanDisservice close-ups of Uhura’s beefy legs]] from the front and from behind and, as near as I can tell, that’s actually Nichelle Nichols dancing. And this is another one of the big problems with the movie as a whole: Everyone’s old enough to qualify for Medicare, and yet they’re still running around and getting naked and rolling around in the dirt like they’re the same age as when they made the original series. Nichelle Nichols certainly looks good for her age here, but I think most ''Trek'' fans would prefer these characters presented in a slightly more dignified way.

->Here you've got [[Wrestling/HulkHogan a 46-year-old bald movie star wannabe who looks like Uncle Creepy with a good build]] taking on [[Wrestling/RoddyPiper a guy with an artificial hip that hadn't wrestled a full schedule in ten years.]] It's a tribute to the massive egotism, in my mind, of both men and indictment of Wrestling/{{WCW}}'s promotional policies that this match even took place, much less being the main event, when the card was probably [[TallPoppySyndrome the best that WCW's capable of having]]. By the ten minute mark, they were sucking wind so bad the first three rows passed out of oxygen deprivation–would've been funny if it wasn't so sad. Well, I'm sick and damn tired of guys claim to be the 'icon,' especially when it usually comes from guys who just didn't know when to quit. Roddy Piper was my idol when I was a teenager, but that was twenty years ago. Hulk Hogan during his best years was 50% media creation...Wrestling/TheUndertaker, Wrestling/RicFlair, and [[Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin Steve Austin]] have never claimed to be icons, which means they're big candidates to be just that. And on a personal note to Hulk Hogan: you are a household word, [[SoWasX but so is garbage; and it stinks when it gets old, too]].

->'''Jay''': It's just a bit sad. Like, her "sex appeal"... [sighs] You know when Wrestling/ScottHall tries to do a machismo thing in 2013, and it's a bit sad? This is like a drunk, stoned women trying to do her "[[ManChild sexy dance]]".\\
