’ i somehow always thought you were a myth. ’
’ well, this was an eye-opener, i’ll tell you that. ’

’ be quiet or i will tell everyone at your funeral what your favorite movie is. ’
’ because i know a lot of things about you, you know. ’
’ i’m calling it in. ’
’ we should wait for the others. ’
’ can i ask you something without sounding disrespectful? ’
’ add to this horror, the very real idea that there are others in the cosmos who have taken it upon themselves to protect you. ’

’ we have the army covering up, we have lethan weapons of cosmic proportions as targets… ’
’ until we know more, this stays between us in this room. all of us. no one else. ’
’ ____, you need to find a hiding place for that. they are going to come after it. ’
’ you do not let that package out in the open. ’

’ dude, you’re hurting my feelings. ’
’ there’s a better way to do this. ’
’ ____, we need a better plan. ’

’ i’m working on a program to shut it down. ’
’ should we put it to vote? ’

’ he oh so delightfully powered up a bunch of lackeys to get them to gather a bunch of high-powered items for him. ’
’ and by gather i mean steal. ’
