Zapp Brannigan: Nothing remains now but for the captain to go down with his ship.
Kiff: Why, that's surprisingly noble of you, sir.
Zapp Brannigan: No, it's noble of you, Kiff! As of now, you're in command. Congratulations, captain.

Please, Zuko. What ulterior motive could I have? What could I possibly gain by letting you get all the glory for defeating the Avatar? Unless somehow, the Avatar was actually alive. All that glory would suddenly turn to shame and foolishness. But you said yourself that was impossible.
Warden: Henderson has made me a divisional head.
McKeown: Yeah. Well done you.
Warden: He made Brian Pritchard a division head too.
McKeown: And we don't like Brian Pritchard?
Warden: Brian Pritchard was my predecessor as Mr Henderson's assistant. Just under a year ago, he began serving nineteen consecutive life sentences.
McKeown: So no, then?
Warden: The UR's current government have been making a concerted effort to combat corruption. Since they came into power, there have been several high-profile investigations into the Henderson organization's activities. Each time, all incriminating evidence has mysteriously led to only one of the company divisions. Each time, the head of that division has taken full responsibility. Each time, Mr Henderson's lawyers have convinced the jury that Henderson himself knew nothing about it. It has been a continuous pattern. He now refers to the process as the "naughty-ectomy."

The third senior man, the Home Secretary, was in charge of all matters domestic. And that was the problem. The Home Secretary was the man who had to deal with every child murderer, escaped prisoner, dangerous dog, inner-city riot, drug dealer, illegal immigrant, terrorist, car accident, rapist and cracked pavement in Britain. None of the nice things. It was very difficult to do the job well, the best to hope for was to have a quiet time. There was no foreign travel, both wings of your party would gang up on you when something went wrong and the public blamed you personally every time they ran out of toilet paper. So anyone who wanted to be Home Secretary was an idiot.
"Is this… is this a reward? Or… am I being punished?" Kyle asked, feeling his stomach wildly disagree with his choice to remain at the door to ask a question.
Hordak just stared back at him, impassively. "I suspect we will both find out," he said, before turning back to his work.

Mas Amedda: It would appear that Senator Chuchi's horrific assertions are correct. This unprovoked attack on Kamino was a cowardly act by Admiral Rampart to further his own personal agenda. Guards, arrest and detain the Admiral.
Edmon Rampart: Stay back! I was following orders. I was follow...
Mas Amedda: Order! We shall have order!
Emperor Palpatine: I am deeply troubled by this recent revelation. My gratitude to Senator Chuchi for exposing a rogue element within our ranks. Many lives have been lost, but I assure you, Admiral Rampart will face the consequences for his treachery.
