B.D.: Me again. Secretary: Welcome back, sir. B.D: You're going to miss me when I get better, aren't you, Celeste? Secretary: You can't let that get in the way, sir.

Man: Wait a minute, Slick. You disabled his weapon while he was discharging it? Man: Only in the flashback. In real life, he tripped. Man: Is that technically a flashback? Elias: No. That's called "remembering a scene from a movie."
