If your advertising agency created all those giant characters, you must know how to stop them.

But people can't help looking at them. They're wrecking the town.

You know, maybe a jingle would help. [plays a piano arpeggio, sings] Don't watch the mon -- [plays another arpeggio] Don't watch the...monsters-s-s. [chuckles] Well, it'll sound a lot better coming out of Paul Anka...

How the hell do I know why there were Nazis? I don't know how the can opener works!

Guildenstern: And what's that, in this case?
Player: It never varies — we aim at the point where everyone who is marked for death dies.
Guildenstern: Marked?
Player: Between "just desserts" and "tragic irony" we are given quite a large scope for our particular talent. Generally speaking, things have gone about as far as they can possibly go when things have gotten about as bad as they can reasonably get.
Guildenstern: Who decides?
