Shane: So, what exactly does [the morpher] do?
Tori: Where's the switch?

"It all makes sense now, he missed getting his butt kicked, so he created a new hero to kick it for him. But why would he pick Hal? Hal is the worst possible person you could pick."
— Roxanne Ritchi, Megamind
"Woah, red, hold up. I'm no hero. I'm just a guy from Jersey!"

Daniel Jackson: (to Thor) Let Me Get This Straight..., you want someone dumber than you?

Balin: You make your stealth sound as difficult and hopeless as any open attack. Impossibly difficult!
Gandalf: Yes, it is difficult. But not impossibly difficult, or I would not waste my time here. I would say absurdly difficult. So I am going to suggest an absurd solution to the problem. Take a Hobbit with you! Smaug has probably never heard of Hobbits, and he has certainly never smelt them.
Gloin: What! One of those simpletons down in the Shire? What use on earth, or under it, could he possibly be? Let him smell as he may, he would never come within smelling distance of the nakedest dragonet new from the shell!
"Wait. Wait a second. I... might not be the person you think I am. I haven't ever helped anyone! My hometown... And Ordon village. I suddenly turned into a wolf and those monsters attacked. I only barely defeated those shadow mites because I wanted to return to human form as soon as possible. In other words, it was all for myself. So you can't say I completed some noble mission. I have no idea what's happening to me! I'm just swinging my sword in desperation! Would the gods choose someone like that? I can't believe that!"
