Don’t you ever say that again about your fathers, because they are not cowards. You think I am brave because I carry a gun; well, your fathers are much braver because they carry responsibility, for you, your brothers, your sisters, and your mothers. And this responsibility is like a big rock that weighs a ton. It bends and it twists them until finally it buries them under the ground. And there’s nobody says they have to do this. They do it because they love you, and because they want to. I have never had this kind of courage. Running a farm, working like a mule every day with no guarantee anything will ever come of it. This is bravery. That’s why I never even started anything like that… that’s why I never will. –O’Reilly, _The Magnificent Seven_ ---

God willing we’ll all meet again in Spaceballs 2: The Search For More Money. It’s an absolutely brilliant line because at first it seems like just a cheap potshot at how sequels are always made to make more money for movie companies and such, but it’s also flat out talking about the plot of Spaceballs and how the plot of the next movie will be exactly the same. So it works extremely well on all levels. ---
