I know there’s no beryllium sphere… Jason Nesmith: Hold it. Brandon Wheeger: no digital conveyor, no ship… Jason Nesmith: Stop for a second, stop. It’s all real. Brandon Wheeger: Oh my God, I knew it. I knew it! I knew it! -Galaxy Quest (“I knew it” is the line that cracks me up, but it makes no sense seeing it out of context) ---

One! Don’t you feel dumb. Two! Look at you. Three! Don’t you ever make jokes about me behind my back or else I’ll stomp you into the ground. The man has only one look, for Christ’s sake! Blue Steel? Ferrari? Le Tigra? They’re the same face! Doesn’t anybody notice this? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills! “What do you like to do for fun?” “Well, play golf.” “Ah, it’s a great game.” “Yeah.” “How often do you get out?” “Well, let’s see, uh, never. yeah, never, but I’m going to have to cut back that’s really going to hurt.” \*\* Though the best funny moments are the ones you don’t get right away:\*\* Colonel Saito: Do you know what will happen to me if the bridge is not built on time? Colonel Nicholson: I haven’t the foggiest. Colonel Saito: I’ll have to kill myself. What would you do if you were me? Colonel Nicholson: I suppose if I were you, I’d have to kill myself…Cheers! ---
