Funny: Short Circuit

Short Circuit:

  • How quickly Stephanie decides that Number 5 was an alien and how quickly she accepts the idea of being visited by the "alien" was rather amusing.
  • Howard, scared about what the malfunctioning Number 5 might do, makes this comment:
    Howard: What if it decides to melt down a bus full of nuns? How would you write the headline on that?!
    Ben: Nun soup?
  • Ben is generally pretty good for these. When Crosby was taking No. 2 (without permission) on his hunt for No. 5, Howard started freaking out some more.
    Howard: Great! So instead of $11 million on the loose, we're going to have twenty-two!
    Ben: Plus we are needing gas money.
  • Any and all Ben's Malaproper phrases.
    "I am standing here beside myself." (I am beside myself)
    "So now I am having no job to speak about. I will have to smack the sidewalk." (I have no job to speak of. I will have to pound the pavement)
    "I have seen some strange, bizarre drivers, but you. You will be awarded a cake." (I have see some strange, bizarre drivers, but you take the cake)
    "Bimbo!" (Bingo)
    "With excitement like this, who is needing enemas?"
    "Newton, we are wasting valueless time here!"
  • And this great line:
    Newton: "So what do you think of her?"
    Ben: "I am thinking she is a wirgin. Or at least used to be one."
  • And this one:
    Newton: "Where are you from, anyway?"
    Ben: "Bakersfield, originally."
    Newton: "No, I mean your ancestors."
    Ben: "Oh, dem. Pittsburgh."
  • Just Ben in general.
    "Bye-bye, goofy woman. I enjoyed repeatedly throwing you to the ground."

Short Circuit 2:

  • Fred tries explaining that he didn't "lose" Johnny Five. He just "misplaced him, y'know? Like your car keys."
    Ben: "HOW ARE YOU MISPLACING A 700 POUND CAR KEY?!"
  • The moment that Number Five/Johnny Five discovered the bookstore and begins heading towards it excitedly. By the time Fred catches back up to him, it looks like a tornado erupted inside the building.
