D'Argo: (Wearily) That. Is. Fascinating.
Crichton: Excellent. D'Argo discovers science.
D'Argo: To what purpose?
Crichton: (Shakily) Governing continuity; they screw with our molecular structure, turn us into pigeon perches, and we preside over their senate or whatever the hell they call it for eighty cycles.
D'Argo: As a statue?

Gandalf, The Hobbit
Huh? I feel like I've been at the beach. Huh? I forgot I'm not stuck in sand, I'm stuck in cement!
Meowth, Pokemon, "Mutiny In The Bounty"
Everybody must get stoned!
Bob Dylan, Rainy Day Women ♯12 & 35
