"Big suit is not big enough. Switching to 'Once in a Lifetime.'"

"Only David Byrne can make a grand mal seizure look like a cool dance. When I try to dance like him, people want to call an ambulance."

"Holy crap, we share the same name and taste in glasses frames." (Said Tom to Tom Kenny)

"Is there any silk in that Silk Spectre costume?"

"Same as it ever was."

"What are you dressed as?"
"David Byrne from Talking Heads."
"Why the blood?"
"Grabbed the wrong shirt."

"Hurry through the bad news. Good news, you can take your time."

"Where in Norway are you from?"
"Italy."

"I had to drive for an hour."
"Our flight took 25 hours."
"You win."

"Good God, you used the right name. And you spelled it right."

"Press X to not die."

"I'm not in costume!"
"You're dressed as a volunteer. How often do you see one of those?"

"We gotta make this Narwhals into the next Internet hit. It's better than Caramelldansen."

"My head's already full of the Caramelldansen. Why do I need another catchy song?"

"Narwhals, narwhals, swimming in the ocean. Something something something."

"Craig showed me Narwhals too. I feel your pain."

"Are you two pals?"
"I don't know. Craig, are we pals?"

"Good God, you think we're gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that."

"We're two guys in San Francisco who like each other and occasionally screw around with each other. What makes you think we're gay?"

"From the waist down I only love women; oddly enough, from their waists up."

"He's wants to kill me over 'I Wanna Be the Guy.'"

"We should put IWBTG in the game room."

"Hey, Psycho Killer!"

"You look like you got shot."
"Yeah, but I got him back."

"Did you curse while killing the zombies? It's a requirement."

"A well-stocked store attracts customers."

"I think your work is better suited for teens."

"So, where is she?"
"Don't know."
"Don't have to know."
"Don't... care."

"Love those pieces of flair."

"I guess this makes up for me pinching more than one pin."
"At least you know it's going to a fellow fan."

"Who knew that the Disney panel would be so popular?"

"What do you expect to report from this panel?"
"I'll say, 'There is a Disney animated film and I got to see a clip of it.'"

"You can't please everyone. You go one way, one side hates it. You go another way, the other side hates it. You go neither way, everyone hates it."

"We have Internet! We can do field reports from here!"

"I got to get me one of these."

"A tripod with a couple of soccer balls attached would be more useful."

"Now if you don't mind, I have to dedicate a love song to a lamp."

"Winkler hugged me. She nearly made out with me. This press room was insane."

"Why don't we just start jawin'?"

"Because Disney bought Pixar, I now have two bosses."

"I was just like that Helen Hunt character of 'Castaway.' 2D animation? I thought you were dead. I moved on to Maya and I'm seeing Houdini on the side."

"This stuff is the first time it has left the building. The last place I want to see it is online."

"I hoped the drawing pictures thing would work. I don't want to go back to selling ice cream."

"I did a lot of dust clouds for 'The Lion King.'"

"We threw a lot of eggs at buildings... raw, microwaved for 10 seconds, microwaved for 15 seconds. The raw eggs looked best."

"We were going for a Michael Bay feel."

"We had to redesign our infrastructure. We didn't even have desks."

"I miss the paper cuts of my earlier career."

"A character animator would say he got that job instead of effects animator because 'I can draw very well and they can't.'"

"Character animators care about layouts and effects as much as a dog cares about where dog food comes from."

"Look at you and all these girls."
"Knowing a bunch of girls doesn't mean anything."

"Off to the 'Spongebob Squarepants' writers' panel."
"That show has writers?"

"It's a strange time when the TV episodes come out on DVD before they air on TV."

"I have job security. And it's for something that doesn't blow."

"I sank and did reality TV shows for a bit."
"Aww... you poor thing."

"I told her I worked on 'Spongebob' and she went fuckin' bat shit crazy."

"We still use paper: Post-its. They're storyboard sized. Unlike computers, they never crash unless we spill coffee on them."

"The only thing that makes him a pirate is that he says he's one and he dresses like one."

"Kick their asses and tell them you're getting real food."

"I have a friend who thinks exotic dining is driving to a Denny's in the middle of nowhere."

"You're proof that Para Para has not evolved into Caramelldansen."

"You don't belong here with us. You're the normal one among the idiot man-children."

"Pretty girls don't have names. They're just... there."

"No offense. You're pretty and I know your name. Or if I wanted to offend you more, I could say you're not pretty and that's why I know your name."

"She'd like a red parachute, please."

"We got to hit so-Cal one of these days. It's bad enough they come up here in droves invading our turf. Some day, we're going to form an army to invade their cons and eat their food. Let's see how they like it. Then let's set fire to a few places to make our mark. It'll be fun."

"I have to make a joystick costume. Guess where the stick will be."

"Imagine lingerie for gamers. There'd be a set of buttons for each breast. Guys can multitask."

"Those on Myspace are going to Facebook."

"Myspace is the html equivalent of giving everyone with a hand a gun. Fun in theory, but some people are going to shoot themselves in the foot with their poor designs and color schemes."

"Why can't I see anything through the viewfinder?"
"Wrong end."

"I think I'm drunk."

"We have got to go drinking together."

"We know who's getting drunk tonight."

"Damn, I lost my room party source."

"I was supposed to give up hentai for Lent."
"I gave up socializing."
"We failed."

"The dessert is flipping me off."

"You claim to be the antisocial one yet you're the one who started these conversations."

"Good God, you know I hate all of you! You for your gerbil cheeks. You for your inexhaustible patience. You two for... wearing black. You for hanging around all those girls. You for Narwhals. And you, Al, for... well, who knows."

"The only time people call me 'sir' is when they follow it up with 'you're making a scene."

"There goes my diet."

"Holy crap, the menu lists nutritional information and calorie counts. Now I know I'm not eating any of those, those, or those."

"It's like cereal. I feel like I should be in my pajamas sitting in front of the television watching Saturday morning cartoons while eating this stuff."

"Why are you ordering the same dessert? We already ate theirs."
"That was ours. Let him order and eat his own."

"Thank you for playing your part well and acting genuinely uncomfortable around me."

"I will keep drinking this stuff until I get drunk."
"How can you get drunk off pineapple lemonade?"
"WAITER! Another!"

"Are you okay? Is that blood?"
"Huh. I guess it is. Where did it come from? Weird."

"I've been out of practice and I've had a rough day, as you can see from the blood."

"Forget 'Hare Hare Yukai.' Hare Hare you die."

"Creampie Dansen."

"There's a costume there, should we shoot it?"

"There a girl there, should we shoot her? Might as well."

"FAIL."

"You can't record these clips, but you can blog about them and brag to your friends that you saw them before anyone else thanks to WonderCon."

"If they removed all the slow-motion, 'Watchmen' would only be a 90 minute movie."

"I just saw 'Watchmen' last night."
"You lucky bastard."

"Let's cut the bullshit and show you the clips."

"The studio gave me blue balls."

"They said 'Watchmen' might have been based off some comic and asked if I ever heard of it."

"Human bean juice, what a line."

"You know the world is in a depressive state when Nixon had five terms."

"Are you ever going to play a role where you don't die?"

"They only requested less violence and less nudity."

"The uncut version will have more blue balls."

"You have six kids. Were you trying to breed the entire 'Watchmen' cast?"
"Yeah, imagine that: 'Watchmen Babies.'"

"'Astroboy' looks pretty good."

"This movie gives Nicholas Cage a third facial expression. There's his default, his wide-eyed crazy, and now he has an 'Oh shit' look."

"I wonder what rating this film will get."
"Probably PG-13. The subway train plowing through all of those people is nice, but most of the bodies are just disappearing beneath the train or getting flung from it. There are no severed limbs and only a limited amount of blood."

"I suppose I could redo the mask, but then I'd have to watch the movie again to see what it looked like. I suppose I could hit myself in the head with a hammer to prepare for the pain of this movie, but then I think just hitting myself with the hammer would be cheaper and more fun. Doesn't one of the henchmen hit himself with a hammer during the film?"

"Hey look, it's Zorro!"
"Where?"

"You should be wearing the black mask with the blue suit."
"Dude, I'm colorblind."

"Dude, I'm disabled."

"Hey, it's great to see you again! Oh, wait!" (Removes mask)
"Oh! Hi! Now I remember."

"Tom!"
"Wait, how can you tell it's me behind the mask?"
"I can just tell."

"It's the shape of your face that tells me it's you."

"Whoever said that masks could hide one's identity was wrong. Take 'Sailor Moon.' How can they not tell Tuxedo Mask is not Darien? And the only disguise the scouts had were slightly different uniforms. They didn't even disguise their faces."

"It's an action adventure starring an old man."

"I hate the term 'teaser trailer.' Let's show something substantial in our trailer! Let's show plot!"

"Moon, the audience has three questions for you. First one..."
"34C."

"I want to do some market research. Your opinions may contribute to the film. Who wants to see Moon's boobs in this film?"
(Loud cheering)

"Your skin color, sex, religion, or sexual preference... the machines don't care. They see us all equally and want to kill us all. We must put all of that aside and face our common enemy."

"$100 for Mark Hamill's autograph?"
"Think of the savings when you get the second for only $90."

"I don't know what's worse: Mark Hamill charging $100 for an autograph or the long line of people ready to buy one."

"Mark Hamill can FRO: Fuck right off."

"This mask gives me a case of CSS: Can't see shit."

"GTFO-ing!"
"Who can you GTFO-ing?"
"Um... G-ing TFO!"

"You voiced Ryo-ohki. Have I got a cat for her to meet. (Marshmallow meows)."

"Your teeth scared me as a kid. And they also made me afraid of my cousin who had braces."

"Me Grimlock no bozo. Me Grimlock king!"

"Sure, Mark Hamill and other stars are big names. But it's guys like you that give us the greatest childhood memories. We remembered your lines or were scared of you. And now we get to meet you in person to tell you how we remember your lines or how much you scared us."

"How's the pizza? Is it $7 good?"
"Yeah."
"I guess."
"No."

"Your tie is asymmetrical. It's driving me nuts."

"There's going to be a lot of Death the Kidds around."

"This hat needs Viagra."

"Still waiting on Vic to fix up Cosette and Eponine as Patty and Liz."

"Papa, why are you holding us upside down?"

"The food is mediocre and the guy who taste tests the food is in dire need of taste buds. But it's the type of food that provides calories needed to keep me going. When I don't have time of money for a fancy sit-down meal and I want something that's a step above ramen, Jollibee's close proximity to the Moscone makes it the ideal place for food during a con. I can't believe I'm giving this place a recommendation."

"The talky talky is fine. Touchy feely, not so much."

"It's like a giant piece of the puzzle fell into my lap. You're the reason she made those bacon chocolate cupcakes."

"I have EMT training and some diagnosis skills. Wish I had nursing in high school."

"How do you do CPR on yourself?"

"The spaghetti sauce is awful, yet strangely addicting."

"It's the MSG. It adds flavor but can probably make a person go crazy. So don't be surprised if you see me at the clock tower with a rifle and a few boxes of Chinese take-out."

"I could probably qualify as mentally insane if I hadn't studied half of the material."

"There was the one worker there without her hairnet. It was easy to tell whose hair it was."

"The cake is not a lie. It's gone."

"Those bastards took the cheesecake."

"We're the firing squad."

"I'm going to need new equipment."

"Running out of ammo."

"Give us a cheesecake pose!"
"Only she can get away with saying that."
(Regarding the lady assisting the costumers in posing for all the male Press photographers)

"I shot an arrow into the air. It fell to earth, I knew not where."

"Please don't aim that arrow at us."
"But you can aim it at the caterers who took the food away."

"Your black suit versus my black suit. Your guns versus my fists. Let's go."

"You ever fired two guns at the same time? It's not easy. It's hard enough sighting one gun. Two is twice as difficult."

"We need a dollhouse for Godzilla to smash."

"Wish I brought Yo-Joe to meet Godzilla."

"Good God, I thought cosplayers on BART were such spectacles. These old ladies are better organized and color coordinated."

"He's our photographer."

"I remember when getting a comic book was such a big deal. It was a special moment."

"Comics used to cost a dime. Those dime comics are now worth hundreds."

"You know when people say their mothers threw away their comics, I have to say, 'Thank your mother for me. Now mine are worth even more.'"

"Comic books are starting to fade away."
"So are we."

"The lines at Disneyland moved faster."

"Please form an orderly mob."

"Protect the eyes and the crotch."

"I'm a comedic sniper."

"I had two daggy outfits... wait, does anyone know what that means?"

"Don't go to your high school reunion. It's just full of old people saying they know you."

"The New York Comic Con crowd was more... affectionate."

"New York Comic Con: Not affiliated with San Diego Comic-Con."

"I'm happy to throw elbows for her."

"I think torture is... a gray area."

"Ooh, will Jewel outdance Denise Richards this season?"

"There are so many changes in the network. That's why you shouldn't have voted for Obama."

"We always want to be like 'Rocky I,' not 'Rocky III.'"

"Morgan versus maturity."

"Ryan IS Captain Awesome!"

"Our goal is to make the best episode on TV each week."

"Comedy is precise. Every word can determine whether it's funny or not."

"He's a yummy man."

"I had to learn new acting industry phrases. One time they told me, 'We're going to force you tonight.' Okay... force me to do what?"

"I love them all. I like having a job."

"Why shouldn't Morgan work with Chuck?"
"Because Casey would kill him."

"Chuck is starting to grow on Casey... like a fungus."

"We've had half a dozen make outs... and they're great! She's hot! I know how lucky I am!"

"How do you find guest stars for the role?"
"Craigslist."

"How much of Chuck's geekiness is in you, Zachary?"
"All I heard was 'anus.' Can I even answer that here?"

"Geekiness level: High."

"Who would win: Casey or Jayne?"
"Casey has better weapons."

"Working with the Buy Morons is great."

"I am skilled with weapons."

"Do it to me hard and fast."

"Without fans, we would not have this panel or jobs."

"Not everything you see is reality."

"Donald, where's your trousers?"

"Adam Baldwin told me to be funny."

"Shirley scares the shit out of me."

"I am ready to answer questions about the show."
"What's going to happen in the end?"
"I won't spoil it."
"What do those three dots mean?"
"All will be revealed."

"When are Summer and Shirley going to fight?"

"Who thinks there is never enough Cameron in their lives?"

"I am a scary bad ass."

"You killed Bubbles."

"QUESTIONS, please. Not statements."

"Yes, we all love 'Firefly' and Garbage."

"I don't want this to be a 'Where's Waldo?' of 'Terminator.'"

"I hope no one is satisfied if we don't get a third season."

"I hope FOX will not say, 'Okay, no more 'Sarah Conner.' Let's just move along. Hmm... another episode of 'House.'"
"HEY!" (Retorts a certain House cosplayer)

"I get blamed for all the mistakes."

"Have you ever heard any popular alternative music sung in a Scottish accent? It does not work well." -Shirley Manson

"A 'Terminator' musical episode with dancing Terminators! Uh, no."

"Sci-fi fans are the best fans in the world!"

"Looks like cosplay is canceled on account of rain."

"I didn't like to go to cons during high school."

"Nothing tells the world you have porn in your shop than a beaded curtain."

"I keep my porn hidden in plain sight."

"After my first con, I realized how much money I spent and decided not to do this again."

"I remember this one Fanime where a cosplayer's boob popped out of Armitage costume..."
"Good God, you were there too?"

"We're Facebook friends."

"You can find me on Facebook. Don't mention 'Mafia Wars' in the request so I'll know you're not just trying to expand your mafia."

"People from high school would send me stuff through Facebook but I just ignore it."

"See you on Mouse Hunt."

"I rudely got this guy to clear out the disabled seating for me. I almost felt bad about it, but then realized who I was dressed as."

"Dr. House could use a shave."

"An apple a day keeps ME away."

"In 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf,' the wolf eventually comes."

"Get on methodone to fix your leg."

"What kind of jerk wouldn't take advantage of this?"

"We're going to Joe's."
"For coffee or to blow it up?" (As the Cobra characters walk towards Joe's)

"Only a Di Di could look like that."

"It's okay, she's in good hands now. Well, maybe not good hands, but my hands nevertheless."

"'Lucky Star...' you mean 'Lucky Shit.'"

"Like I would ever call him Burger King in front of his face."

"Bye, Burger King! Oops."
"At least you didn't call me Eurobeat Queen like that one time years ago."
"I did that ONE TIME!"

"I remember seeing the back of this lady. From her svelte figure, I thought she was hot and she knew her Eurobeat music. I figured, 'She truly is the Eurobeat Queen.' Then she turned around... and she wasn't a she. It was Al."
