10'''Perfect Tommy:''' So was Mr. Wizard...
11* John Whorfin's flashback to Emilio Lizardo and Hikita testing their Overthruster, allowing Whorfin to possess Lizardo. Not only does Lizardo get stuck half in the wall they were testing against, but a camera lets Hikita see into the 8th Dimension and what's happening to Lizardo, and he gives the only appropriate response:
12-->'''Hikita''': Holy Toledo. . .
13* Buckaroo's phony call from the President.
14-->'''Ed:''' The President's calling, Buckaroo.\

30* "DAMN LORD JOHN WHORFIN AND THE HORSE HE RODE IN ON!"

34* "Let's go up to my office and discuss this like two sensible beings."
35* The list of Johns, with last names like "Littlejohn" and "Smallberries."
36** Perhaps the best is "John Manyjohns."
37* "What's in the big pink box?"
38* You seriously have to wonder if the "[[{{Macguffin}} Oscillation Overthruster]]" got its name because the director thought it would be hilarious to make a [[JapaneseRanguage Japanese man]] say it as many times as possible.
39-->"[[LargeHam OSCIRRATION OVAH-THRUSTAH!]]"
40* "It's not my goddamned planet. Understand, Monkey Boy?"

48--> '''Whorfin:''' ''shoots Bigbooté''
