[QUOTE=Tapioca Dextrin] It was mostly TV, but _The Truth is Out There_ [/QUOTE] I can’t give a cite, but I’m almost 100% certain that this gets said at least once over the 9 seasons of the show. ---

Sorry to reanimate the dead, but I just wanted to defend my earlier assertion with an actual cite now that I have one, and also because I’m liable to remember later that I came up with a cite but forget what it was. 🙂 Both Mulder _and_ Scully say the phrase “the truth is out there” during season one of _The X-Files_. > [@Scully](#): > > from “E.B.E.” > > I have never met anyone so passionate and dedicated to a belief as you. It’s so intense that sometimes it’s blinding. But there are others who are watching you, who know what I know and whereas I can respect and admire your passion, they will use it against you. Mulder, the truth is out there but so are lies. [cite](http://www.insidethex.co.uk/transcrp/scrp116.htm) > [@Mulder](#): > > from “The Erlenmeyer Flask” > > I’m… not going to give up. I can’t give up. Not as long as the truth is out there. [cite](http://www.insidethex.co.uk/transcrp/scrp123.htm) ---

I’m glad this thread was resurrected. It brought to mind the classic sign on the wall in “2001: A Space Odyssey:” ZERO GRAVITY TOILET PASSENGERS ARE ADVISED TO READ INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE ---

> [@Ludovic](#): > > Speaking of Kubrick, there’s also the sign on the military barracks “Peace is our Profession”. IIRC, the actual slogan for Strategic Air Command during part of the Cold War. Don’t recall if it was in Serenity, but in the TV show Firefly, “Blue Sun” might count. We see the logo for this company (with the company’s name in both English and Mandarin) printed on damn near everything, including a main character’s t-shirt, yet it is never commented on, evidently being as omnipresent as Kraft Foods. ---

In 1997, there were two movies about a volcanic eruption in California. One was called Dante’s Peak and the second was boringly called Volcano. As I remember, both were awful. But at least Volcano had the tagline, “The Coast is Toast.” ---

> [@Little\_Plastic\_Ninja](#): > > The first one I thought of: > > NOW I HAVE A MACHINE GUN TOO HO HO I’m confused by this. The line is “Now I have a machine gun. Ho-ho-ho,” and it is most certainly spoken. Hans reads it out loud off the shirt John wrote it on while standing in the elevator. Are you saying that people often misquote it?
