5->[''After ripping Cell's tail off'']\
6'''Android 16''': That's put an end to your absorbing capabilities. Now you are like a bee without a stinger.\
7[''{{Beat}} as Cell writhes in pain before calming down and standing up'']\
8'''Cell''': ...Not exactly. Your analogy of the bee... it's not quite accurate. When bees lose their stingers, they're gone for good. The bee dies. [''screams and grunts for a minute until his tail regenerates''] But when ''Cell'' loses his tail... well, he just grows another one.

31->'''Todd:''' I've been doing some thinking, and marriage is like a Tootsie Pop. The lollipop part is a lie, but at the center of the lie, there's a truth. That's the Tootsie Roll, and that's why people get married. But if I married Courtney, it would be a lie without any truth in it, like a Tootsie Pop with just the lollipop part and nothing in the middle.
32->'''Rutabaga:''' So... a lollipop? That's still pretty good.
33->'''Todd:''' [[LampshadeHanging I guess it's a bad analogy.]]

42->'''[[HotBlooded Terry Hoitz]]:''' If we were in the wild, I would attack you. Even if you weren't in my food chain, I would go out of my way to attack you. If I were a [[KingOfBeasts lion]] and you were a tuna, I would swim out in the middle of the ocean and ''freaking eat you''! And then I'd bang your tuna girlfriend.\
43'''Allen Gamble:''' Okay, first off, ''a lion, swimming in the ocean''? [[CatsHateWater Lions don't like water]]. If you'd placed it near a river or some sort of fresh water source, that'd make sense. But you find yourself in the ocean, 20 foot waves, I'm assuming it's off the coast of South Africa, coming up against a full-grown, 800-pound tuna with his twenty or thirty friends? You lose that battle. You lose that battle nine times out of ten. [[SidetrackedByTheAnalogy And guess what]]? You've wandered into our school of tuna, and we now have a taste of lion. We've talked to ourselves. We've communicated.\
44'''Terry:''' Yeah?\
45'''Allen:''' And said "You know what? Lion tastes good. [[AscendedToCarnivorism Let's go get some more lion]]". We've developed a system to establish a beachhead and [[FiendishFish aggressively hunt you and your family]]. And we will corner your pride, [[WouldHurtAChild your children, your offspring]]...\
46'''Terry:''' How you gonna do that?\
47'''Allen:''' [[AmplifiedAnimalAptitude We will construct a series of breathing apparatus with]] [[BambooTechnology kelp]]. We will be able to trap certain amounts of oxygen. [[BoringButPractical It's not gonna be days at a time, but an hour, hour 45, no problem]]. That will give us enough time to [[ScarilyCompetentTracker figure out where you live, go back to the sea, get more oxygen, and then stalk you]]. You just lost at your own game. You're outgunned and outmanned. ({{Beat}}) [[LampshadeHanging Did that go the way you thought it was gonna go? No]].\

51->'''Coach:''' I don't want to hear ''anyone'' complaining, okay? Did the children of Israel complain when they were in the desert? No they didn't!\
52'''Player:''' Actually, yes they did.\
53'''Coach:''' Alright, some of them did. I'm not familiar with the story. But I'm just saying...

58-->-- ''VideoGame/ProjectWingman''

60->'''Tucker:''' See? He knows something about the sword. So it’d be stupid to kill him until we at least know what he wants to use the sword for, right? I mean, how else is a journey for a ''chosen one'' supposed to start? He’s like our [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Gollum]].\
61'''Wash:''' Gollum bit off Frodo’s finger at the end of the journey.

76->'''James Vega:''' You know, the Quarians have done pretty well with [[BubbleBoy those suits]]. Maybe they can make one for [[HandicappedBadass you]].

78->'''James Vega:''' So what's the problem?

89'''hipnox''': ''Bad comparison. I don't remember George Floyd strangling the cop back and repeatedly punching him in the dick while the cop fumbles with his pistol, drops his wallet, badge, pisses and shits himself, chokes on his own saliva and randomly shoots civilians.''
