Of course the only pithy one-liners I can come up with aren't exactly one-liners...
"Don't you have any respect for the dead?"

"Of course not. They're dead!"
"I thought you said you loved me."

"Welcome to the real world."

<applauds> Is that your writer's pack pledge in there now, Drew?
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

It not only took it over the 50% mark, it took it over the $1 million mark as well...!
