  • American ambassador: "I like living in Russia." So I see ...
  • Premier Dubienkin: Here is a written account by two witnesses...

  • The Deacon: Sir, if the Lord had meant us to like everything we heard, he wouldn't have given us commercial radio.

  • The Deacon: If the Lord had meant us to rely on geriatrics; he wouldn't have given us the supreme court.
  • Premier Dubienkin: All these rumours of a food shortage are nonsense. I mean, the fact I have a dead dog in my fridge doesn't mean anything. Why shouldn't I have a dead dog in my fridge if I wish?

  • [on tape we see Lacrobat disguised as a Swedish man holding an Abba album]
  • Lacrobat: Good day, my name's Olaf Jokkmokk and I am Swedish. Oh dear, I've dropped the keys to my volvo!

Since then, he has wiped out five entire chains of rival dentists. That is why I always vouch for Lacrobat.
  • Jay Garrick: I'm Jay Garrick, I hope you are too.
  • Premier Dubienkin: Neutral countries have two options - medium or well done.
  • Lacrobat: Governments toppled, plants installed, or for that very special assassination; why not use Lacrobat?

  • [pause]
  • Lacrobat: It was a double act.
  • President Johnny Cyclops: You had me shot just to get public sympathy?

Presidential candidate Jimmy Hennessy was run over by a speeding ambulance outside his home and had both his legs crushed. The ambulance contained President Johnny Cyclops, who was said to have only received flesh wounds after being shot at a TV taping this afternoon.
  • Jay Garrick: A woman who secured a lock of Frank Sinatra's hair twenty years ago today sold it back to him for an undisclosed sum.
  • The Deacon: Everything went well, sir, the lobotomy wasn't necessary.
  • President Johnny Cyclops: Well, I should think not. Anyone who tries to give me a lobotomy will get a piece of my mind!

  • Chancellor of the Exchecquer: It'll be for the best, Kev. I'm sure it will.

  • Commisar Solzhenitsyn: So, I see we have a smart-arsed parrot on our hands!
  • Soldier 1: OK, why is Johnny Cyclops like a two-dollar whore? Every day a new cock up!

  • [pause]
  • Foreign Secretary: Superman?

  • [pause]

We stole it, and gave it to a terrorist; it's being smuggled to help you regain your rightful perch- throne! And we hope to get you off of that ferry very soon.
