Quotes
- Ed Green: I want to ask your opinion on Einstein's theory because I'm not sure he was right.
- Phil: Headline: 'Cop Cracks Relativity'.
- Ed Green: No, not that theory, Phil. His theory on genius. See - and correct me if I'm wrong - Einstein argued that genius has no personality. But after talking to you for this short amount of time, I realize that you actually prove the negative. You definitely have personality. And it makes this primate want to whoop your ass. Now say somethin'.
- Greg Landen: You don't even try to hide your disdain for Islam!
- Colin Fraser: My disdain isn't for Islam, pal.
“ | To quote the Bard: Ignorance often turns out to be the best defense. | ” |
–Arthur Branch about representing oneself in court |
- Olivet: My guess is he is terrified of women. Militant Islam eases that anxiety by making women subordinate.
- McCoy: Landon became a slave of Allah because he couldn't get a date?
