* BeamMeUpScotty: Matador is known for saying, "I challenge you to a duel!" However, contrary to popular belief, that's not the whole sentence. The full sentence is, "I challenge you to a duel, to see which of us is truly worthy of the menorah/candelabra..." This is no longer the case in ''HD Remaster'', which separates the line into two sentences.
