The more perceptive among you will reckon this might produce a movie that may not be very good. I applaud your insight, and admire your understatement: this produces movies that are abominable."

Red Ninja: If I keep killing ninjas, I'll drown him out.
White Ninja: You're mad. Gordon's a great ninja.
Red Ninja: No! I'll prove I'm the best.
White Ninja: Huh?
