Mr. Wilson: Have you ever heard of the term "extreme overkill"? George: Yes. Mr. Wilson: If you saw a fly circling a table you wanted to put food on, what would you kill the fly with? George: Probably either a spray or a flyswatter, if I had one. Mr. Wilson: That would be reasonable. What do you think "overkill" would be? George: Probably a mallet. Mr. Wilson: And what would "extreme overkill" be? George: A sledge hammer, I guess.
Mr. Wilson: What Dr. Sign did ... goes way beyond "extreme overkill". What he did was the equivalent of using nuclear weapons to kill flies.
