| 2 | -->Now that he was about to die I felt positive that I should witness a perfect orgy of prayer...if one may allude with such a simile to so solemn an act. |
| 3 | * He does it again when they're [[MadeASlave chained up with a bunch of other humans]] and Hooja the Sly One starts making "thinly veiled advances" toward Dian the Beautiful. |
| 4 | -->Did I say thinly veiled? There is a race of men in New Zealand, or Australia, I have forgotten which, who indicate their preference for the lady of their affections by [[TapOnTheHead banging her over the head with a bludgeon]]. By comparison with this method Hooja's lovemaking might be called thinly veiled. |
| 5 | * In the movie, Dr. Perry and Dian are confronted by a Mahar and Perry shouts "[[TemptingFate You can't mesmerize me!]] [[StiffUpperLip I'm British!]]" The Mahar hypnotizes him [[InstantlyProvenWrong almost immediately.]] |
