Geek Scientist: Look, we have medics and guards standing by just in case. And this is one of our strongest containment rooms. Everything is under control.
Joel: You do realize that the scientist say that in every horror movie, just before things go horribly wrong.
Geek Scientist: This isn't a cheesy B-Movie, Joel. Relax! What could go wrong?

Barney: Yeah, but there's nothing to worry about, Wilma. What could happen to him?

"What could possibly happen, going to an insane man who hates me and owns a bunch of swords?"

"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair."
"Well, my reaction, to be honest, was one of absolute dismay. I thought it was a terrible idea. My feeling was that the clone story was best left in the past. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed those original stories and found the ending very touching and poignant, and I thought the Jackal was a hoot, but I felt that dredging up all that stuff again was a mistake. Mark calmly replied, "Give it a chance. You don't know all the plans we have lined up, and I think once you approach it with an open mind, you'll see that it can work."

News Anchor: In our top story, the president of planet Midway, against the better judgement of the experts, has agreed to use Doctor Muto's new energy device in a desperate attempt to end the power crisis caused by Burnital Industries. The eccentric madman- *cough*, scientist, assured the president that this new device could power a dozen planets! Muto fought back reporters saying:

"The game everyone keeps pointing me to is Sonic the Hedgehog (or Sonic '06 as it's known by). I can't imagine it being that bad because it's Xbox 360. It's only slightly over ten years old. I mean, how bad could this pos—it's gonna fucking suck, isn't it?"

Riku: Wait, so you want to interview me, so you can write a fake tabloid article about Sora and Kairi, for a creative writing assignment?
Ai: Yes! You talking about Sora-kun and Kairi-chan potentially getting married by year’s end, as well as Kairi-chan staying home sick today and Sora-kun swooping in to nurse her to health, I can absolutely see a tabloid article in the making. I could totally swing it as a pregnancy scare.
Riku: Please don't. What if your fake article leaks?
Ai: Aw, don't be so serious, Miyano-senpai! It's just a bogus class assignment. I'll even clear it with Kairi-chan before I submit it for grading. What could possibly go wrong?
Akira: Well that's a giant flag of doom and despair. If anyone asks, Ryuji and I had nothing to do with this.

You're already huge, you figure. Nothing else here was bad. In fact, it was all amazingly delicious, as your jiggling bulk will attest. So what's the harm in ignoring a few "DO NOT TOUCH" signs?
