The future is in your hands, Mr. Travis. Take it... now!

Crowd:
[referring to an on-stage***act performance] Chocolate sandwich! Chocolate sandwich! Chocolate sandwich! Chocolate sandwich!

Monty:
Beware of Mrs. Ball's treacle tart. There is many-a-fly that got stuck in that!

Film director:
Smile!
Michael Arnold Travis:
For what? There's nothing to smile about!
Film director:
You don't have to have a reason. Just do it.
Michael Arnold Travis:
But there's nothing to smile about.

Michael Arnold Travis:
Would you like some soup, sir?
Homeless person:
No thanks, son. I don't take solids.
|
|
Monty:
Try not to die like a dog.
|
|
Michael Arnold Travis:
Yes, but what's gonna happen to *me*? Will I come out the same as I went in?
Professor Millar:
Not the same: better.

Professor Millar:
Now I would just like you to sign this release form.
Michael Arnold Travis:
"I hereby consent to lease the Millar Research Clinic all physical experimental rights in my body for one week for the sum of one hundred pounds." Well, I'd *like* to help Professor Millar, but a hundred and fifty pounds is definitely my minimum price.
Professor Millar:
Definitely? A figure like that is just beyond us.
Michael Arnold Travis:
One hundred and fifty pounds, and I'm not going to argue about it.
Professor Millar:
A hundred and thirty.
Michael Arnold Travis:
A hundred and forty-five.
Professor Millar:
A hundred and thirty-five.
Michael Arnold Travis:
A hundred and forty.
Professor Millar:
Done! Sign by the cross.

Professor Millar:
What do *you* think is the most successful animal that's ever lived on this earth?
Michael Arnold Travis:
The ant?
Professor Millar:
The dinosaur. Uh do you realize that the dinosaurs dominated this globe for a hundred and forty million years before they became extinct? Man has been on this planet for only a fraction over forty thousand years and yet already he faces extinction. In fact, the species will be lucky to survive beyond the year two thousand and ten. Mankind has only one hope: science. Technology is a survival kit of the human race. Even the politicians realize this. What they don't, or won't realize is, that the technical solutions are already entirely within our power. The entire population of India could be rehoused on the moon within ten years. It's only a matter of learning to live in a new way.
