„We’re dealing with fundamentalists. The Amish are fundamentalists, but they don’t try and hijack a carriage at needlepoint. And, if you’re ever in Amish country and you see a man with his hand buried in a horse’s ass, that’s a mechanic. Remember that.“

„We’ve had cloning in the South for years. It’s called cousins.“

„Mickey Mouse to a three-year-old is a six-foot-tall rat!“
