"I could never figure that," said Roger. "I mean why humans don't like toons. We're no different from humans, not really.

Freeza: We flew over an hour for this? It looks exactly the same as everywhere else on this godforsaken rock!
Nail: [annoyed grunt] Racist.
Freeza: Well, maybe so but, I can't quite be a racist against a race that doesn't exist. Like the Cloffours. Dirty money-grubbing Cloffours. Tried to Clof me right out of my money. Blew those little bastards up is what I did.

Shepard: You forgot your chit at Saronis Applications. The clerk is holding it for you.
Volus: Oh. Well... the quarian could've stolen it...

(looks up these books) Princess. Cinderella. Here we are. ‘Lived happily ever after.’ Oh... [laughs] No ogres! Let's see. Snow White. A handsome prince. Oh, no ogres. Sleeping Beauty. Oh, no ogres!
