Louis Wu, I found your challenge verbose. In challenging a kzin, a simple scream of rage is sufficient. You scream and you leap.
Ack! Ack! Ack!
Eat hot photons, laser-breath! Eat hot photons now!
I don’t know where you get your ideas, laser-brain.
Nothing you can’t handle, Franky.
No, it’s pronounced “Fronkensteen.”
Capt. Amazing: I knew you couldn’t change.
Casanova Frankenstein: I knew you’d know that.
Capt. Amazing: Oh, I know that. AND I knew you’d know I’d know you knew.
Casanova Frankenstein: But I didn’t. I only knew that you’d know that I knew. Did you know THAT?

Dr. Horrible. I should’ve known you were behind this!
“I thought so. You’ve come to straighten out the children’s problems, haven’t you?”
“My Lady, all of the ‘children’ involved, including your daughter, are quite a few T-years older than I am!”

‘Huh?’ said Ford.
‘Huh?’ said Arthur.
‘Huh?’ said Trillian.
‘That’s cool,’ said Zaphod. 'We’ll meet the meat.”

I understand a few dozen or so of your closest friends are waiting to help you celebrate your promotion—I can’t imagine who could have let the 'cat out of the bag to them about it—and after that, we can hop out to Saganami Island and let you meet your new staff.”
The man was a stranger; the cat was not.
Macavity, Macavity, there’s no one like Macavity
He’s broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity
His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare
And when you reach the scene of crime Macavity’s not there!
Ahh, he’s bananas.
Oh, well, he’s Danish.
