(to Pritchard) It's okay, I understand. You're an idiot.

So, we are fighting an unknown homicidal force that has taken the form of your commanding officer and a cowardly alien, under water, in a nuclear reactor. Anything else I should know? Someone with a peanut allergy or something?

Whoa! Whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho! Where do you think you're going?!

So can I stop now?

Please. Please do.
