"Wow, what's happening? What was that?!" "Oh, when all the people who pioneered cinema roll over in their graves at the same time, it can cause little earthquakes."

"He's a bad guy because he wants to include product placements?" "Pretty evil, right?" "You do realize we're going to be including lots of product placements in this movie, right?" "Yeah, but it's okay when we do it." "Okay, then!"

"Just shoving a whole lotta nuns in there!"

"Wow, what kind of awful things happened to you while you were a kid?" "You couldn't possibly imagine!"
