Well, I recall something related where Hayden appropriated a few lines from
that decidedly demented film:
"And thou must cut down the largest tree in the forest WITH...A HERRING!!!"
"We shall do no such thing!"
"Oh, please?"
"All we have is this poor, mangled wet carp..."
But my favorite lines of the entire film would have to count as the following:
"Victory is mine!"
"'Tis but a scratch!"
"A SCRATCH? Your arm's off!"
"No it isn't."
"Well, what's that, then?"
"I've had worse."
"YOU LIAR!"
"Come on, you PANSY!"
