Now that's THIS from? "I'm afraid you have us mistaken for somebody else. My name's not 'Turkey' and neither is his!"

ST IV?

May I say, in a friendly way that since' you're wrong, "A double-dumb### on you!"?

It didn't sound familiar, but it did sound like something that could have been in that.

VOY: Future's End? If not that, I give up.

Ford Prefect: "I read of one planet in the seventh dimension got used as a ball in a game of intergalactic bar billiards. Got potted straight into a black hole, killed ten billion people."


Finally, HHGttG!

Only scored 30 points, too.

[walking on a beach (Ventura? I dunno) in Los Angeles in 1996]

Have you ever been to southern California, Chakotay?

No.

After the Hermosa Quake of 2047, this entire region sank under 200 meters of water. It became one of the world's largest coral reefs, home to thousands of different marine species.

Sydney Stanton: Without me you would have been wiped out with the rest of them.

Dr. Cole Hendron, Astronomer at Cosmos Observatory: Before you opened your pocketbook, you tried to make this a personal enterprise, a private rocket ship for your own personal use. This project was started by real humanitarians, by Marsden and Spiro. They gave me their money with no strings attached. You're not here under any special license. You're always shouting for facts, not theories. Well, remember these facts: our chance of reaching the new world is as thin as your chance of ever becoming a humanitarian.

— When Worlds Collide(1951)

I can't find any quotes for After Worlds Collide...

Mercenaries of the Galaxies.
All life on Earth had been destroyed in a quick and easy kill by the great and ruthless intergalactic Vulmot Empire. Only an elite group of spacemen survived the holocaust. The last earthlings, they were scattered wanderers through the galaxies, hiring out their fighting skills to whatever power needed them, yearly growing more bitter, dissolute, desparing.

By now the pitiful remnants of the Space Corps lacked even the will to fight - until a tantalizing promise from an enslaved race made them assemble one last time, for a mission only men with nothing to lose would attempt, for a final battle only desperate courage could win...

I quite liked it. Interesting rhythmic devices which seem to counterpoint the surrealism of the underlying metaphor.
