Identifying Quotes, favorite sayings, and battle cries

[Hermit]

"With great power, comes great responsibility."

"Great Scott!"

"Hulk is strongest one there is!"

"I am Vengeance! I am the Night! I am Batman!"

"It's clobberin' time!"

"In brightest day, in blackest night,
no evil shall escape my sight,
let those who worship evil's might,
beware my power,
Green Lantern's light!"

If you are a lover of the super hero genre at all, you should recognize at least a few of these. :) Maybe more common to the Golden and Silver Ages, but any super hero can have one. Heck, identifying quotes are a traditional part of most Champion write ups along with background, appearance, etc.

So, what are your favorite Champions identifying quotes, sayings, and battle cries?

Assuming you use them...

[Lord Liaden]

I've mentioned it before, so at the risk of being repetitive :o

My all-time favorite "identifying quote" comes from the alien hero Myrmidon in Champions of the North. I can hear Superman or Captain America saying just this sort of thing to some megalomaniacal super-villain:

"In my time, I have seen Evil with power that would make even you crawl back under your rock. And I have seen it fall."

[Delthrien]

... where it came from, but it goes something like:

"I know a hundred ways to make you regret that. Pick a number..."

"Uhhhhh.... One-hundred-ONE?"

[BobGreenwade]

It's not really comic-book or superheroic in origin, but I'm personally partial to....

"Die, you gravy sucking pigs!"

Then again, there's always the ID cards of the government agency of your choice, followed by, "Division Six. We'll take it from here."

[Nato]

I've always been partial to Duke Nukem quotes.

"I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum. And I'm all out of bubblegum."

Sorry Nato, but that's a movie quote that Duke Nukem may have quoted. It's from "They Live."

[Nato]

Well he said it in the video game so I don't much care, Mr. Knowitall. ;)

[Lord Liaden]

At the climax of Walt Simonson's "Sword of Doom" storyline in The Mighty THOR, Odin, Thor and Loki stand united against Surtur to keep him from "setting the universe aflame:"

Odin: "For Asgard!"

Thor: "For Midgard!"

Loki: "For Myself!"

Hey I remeber that movie... It had Roddy Piper in it didn't it:D

[Darren Watts]

We used to joke that the battle-cry of the Defenders of Justice was, "Bulletproof, wait!!!"

'Cause, y'know, Jason had "Impulsive" and "Overconfident" as Psych Lims. Well, we thought it was funny. Many other adventures and encounters began, "Bulletproof, don't touch that!"

The other running gag he had was that if the scenario involved any sort of unusual vehicle or mode of transportation, Bulletproof would end up driving/riding/flying it and crashing it before the adventure was through. Didn't matter what it was; zeppelin, submarine, spacecraft, camel- he crashed them all and almost always walked away unscathed. They'd usually burst into flames, too, like vehicles on the Simpsons. We were never sure why the camel blew up... dw

[Delthrien]

Likely the camel's second hump was a cleverly disguised incendiary device...;)

[DocMan]

The one that springs most quickly to mind was from a player in a brief Champions campaign I ran. Her name was Dynamo. She got really upset if you accidently pronounced it "Domino". Anywho, she was a short, red-headed Irish lass. She was the party brick, with absorbing powers that fed her strength. She quickly got nicknamed Thumper because she was always saying some variant of "I'm gonna Thump sumthin'." "Hush, or I'll Thump you but good!" "I'm gonna Thump you one!"

Doc

[TheEmerged]

Personally, I use quotes from the Transformer's Movie, depending on the perceived outcome.

"Me Grimlocke love challenge!" when I percieve that it's difficult but do-able.

"Me Grimlocke kick butt," followed by the usually-inevitable "Me Grimlocke need new stragedy" when it goes as badly as I think it will.

"You underestimate me, Galvatron," when someone gives me an assignment and then professes shock when I complete it (usually while other people are still arguing).

"I've got better things to do tonight than die," when the obstacles are purely political and I'm going to get the job done regardless of what people think about it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"In a choice between two evils, I try to pick the one that doesn't involve me dying..." my chaotic-neutral DnD rogue, a twist on something Mae West said.

"Always have a plan. Always have a backup plan, because the first one WILL fail." The Disruptor, my GM-PC in the current campaign.

There's always my email signature....

Famous Last Words:

"What Dragon?"

=============

As far as my favorite one... I'd have to say from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: "Oh no... Not Again!":

[SuperPheemy]

'Ere We Go! 'Ere We Go! 'Ere We Go!!!! A wonderful WAAAGH! for all the Orkies!

But since we're talking SuperHeroes,

"I say the NAY!"
"Avengers Assemble!"
"YO JOE!"
"Up, up and Awaaaaaaay!"
"Rock on, Val Hallen!"

[Marcus]

Theres one from our current Party Brick in my champions game thats becomeing famous locally...

-Brick, to any various and sundry evil.
"You know what the problem with being a villian is?"
"No, what?"
~CRUNCH~ "It'll make your nose bleed."

Then theres our very Wally-West stlye speedster, from the fight with the Supermenace Chupacabra...
"Goat-sucker? GOAT-SUCKER? I dont know if I could put on my tights and go out in the quest of evil named GOAT SUCKER. Here, hang on a second, Ill get a goat.."

[CrosshairCollie]

One I stole from the Gray Hulk:
"This is your brain. This is my fist. This will be your brains ON MY FIST. Any questions?"

[Stephen Mann]

"Let's get dangerous"

and

"I am the Terror that flaps in the night!"

[BarryB]

My character's personal quote is in the signature of my email: "Agggghhh... I'm stunned...can't maintain flight *THUMP*"

Or something to that effect. :)

[Catacomb]

When Thor finally lost his cool and patience with Ultron standing there backed by the rest of the Avengers framed by a hole in the wall he had just made and wearing battle tattered clothes...possibly my most favorite quote of all time. Thor says it in a calm even voice by the way.


'Ultron...we would have words with thee.'

[Karma]

Ultiman: I'm the best at what *you* do (and he was: VPP, only to copy opponents powers, only to a level one greater than the opponent).

"You'd better hope I'm evil. Evil Gloats. Evil explains its plans at length. Evil [BANG, thump] Guess I'm not, huh?"

Breakneck (Speedster Villian): "How much of a head start do you want? Not that it matters much"

Agony (Pain Telempath): "Don't make me hurt you, Please, don't make me hurt you..."

"Greater minds than yours have I faced, and greater minds have I defeated. Only once you learn to ignore the rules will you be able to play the game"

KACE (PA Brick with less than perfect control of his STR): "Please don't do this! I know this dance...You hit me, I hit you, you break, no-bodies happy."

[Lord Liaden]

Catacomb, that is definitely one of my two all-time favorite lines from Thor. The other was not quite so low key, though.;)

Way back when Count Nefaria first acquired his awesome super powers, he attacked and succeeded in defeating most of the Avengers, and planned to kill them while they lay unconscious. Suddenly lightning bolts erupt around him. The next panel is a panoramic view over Nefaria's shoulder of Thor, lightning blazing, cape swirling in the wind, face contorted in rage, hurling his hammer straight at the Count's face as he shouts: "THOU HAST DARED MUCH, VILLAIN... AND VERILY, THINE HOUR OF JUDGEMENT IS AT HAND!"

Probably the best Presence Attack I've ever seen - gave me goosebumps. :)

Along a couple of other, similar lines:

or

"Let's consult the Hong Kong Book of Kung Fu...."

Yeah...cool...I soooo remember that one. You know, every time I see the Thor vs. Superman thread I think 'Yeah it would be close, until Supes pissed off Thor and then...'. Everyone seems to forget that there are two levels of Thor.
1) The Thor who plays with kid gloves and gives all mortals a chance to actually live against him.
2) The Thor who gets pissed, and I'm not talking 'I say thee nay' pissed. I'm talking when Crusher Creel had almost killed one of the Warriors Three pissed. I'm talkin Thor taking it to Thanos pissed. I'm talking Thor dismantleing Ultron pissed. The kind of angry I remember seeing in him maybe 10 or 11 times in comic history. Against that guy Supes is toast.

Anyway sorry to bring that thread here, but you had my blood pumping with pimpy Thor quotes.

[Starwolf]

Quite a few years back there was a scene where Ghost Rider had gone berserk, he had either knocked out of paralyzed with fear all of the Avengers except for Cap, who kept moving in spite of his fear, and.....Thor. When Thor was blasted by the hell fire instead of being frozen with fear he strides forward through the flames and says...

"I have trod the frozen plains of nifflehiem...the cold of your fire will avial thee nought" throws mjolnir.....smack!:cool:

Heh. I think Catacomb is right. However, I doubt Supes would bring that out of him.

Hmm, though it does remind me of all the times Hercules would give Thor "The Gift". :)

[Lord Liaden]

Well, the opposite side of Thor "getting pissed" is Superman when innocent lives are on the line. That's when Supes discards all restraint, digs down deep and throws his heart and soul into the fight. I've only seen that happen a few times over the years, too, and it's a terrible sight. :eek:

However, lemming has a point; neither party is likely to bring that out of the other when up against each other, so we're back to square one. :rolleyes:

[Catacomb]

Superman is still only a 'terrestrial'(I use the word loosely) hero though. Thor is brought in to fight the likes of Thanos, The Celestials, and other cosmic entities. His power is so incredible that there is not set way to describe his powers. He also uses one of Supes' two weaknesses...magic,and he's also been fighting for thousands of years so his combat prowess isn't even matched by the likes of Captain America or Wolverine. Is he as fast as superman in a fight? This is truly the only advantage Superman has over Thor, but when you have a area of effect attack that can drop a Celestial then I'm thinking you could drop Supes as well. Superman is very powerful yes, but Thor is unbeatable when he takes an opponent seriously and doesn't have some dimensional shift disease(Like when he fought Juggernaught.) Speaking of the fight with Juggernaught can Supes breathe in space(It's been awhile since I've read Superman comics and I don't know what his current power level is.)? If not then the same strat would work...transport Supes into deep space and game over.

[Lord Liaden]

Yep, Superman can survive indefinitely without breathing - his power has been growing in recent years. As far as gods go, Superman just recently took on Darkseid, one-on-one, with no gimmicks or backup for either party, only personal power. And Superman beat him. It was a vicious fight, but in the end it was Darkseid on the ground bleeding, Superman standing over him.

And that's exactly why searching for precedents in the comics to support "who beats who" is so frustrating: it all depends on what a given writer wants to have happen. Catacomb, you're obviously a Thor booster, and more power to you - he happens to be my favorite hero, so I can't fault your taste. :) But looking over all the stories featuring Thor and Superman over the years, I could readily believe that either one could take the other on a good day.

[WilyQuixote]

Well personally I was never a big avengers fan or cared one way or another about Thor. Their power levels were so dang high and I was partial to the Batman and Spider-man types. I did collect the Hulk for a while though and he was on their power level. Anyways I remember one Avenger's issue when they went off on some "Galatic Storm" series (this was when Desert Storm was going on by the way) and the version of Thor then was some human that wasn't really Thor but had his powers volunteered to fight Gladiator.

Gladiator for those of you who don't know is the purple Shiar alien(I think) with the red suit. He's a big time bad @$$, and this was why Thor said "I'll go fight him". Thor then proceded to get his butt kicked across the planet they were fighting on. Near the end of the fight Thor is laying on his back wondering what to do next when he sees this lightning bolt team-mate flying alongside Captain Marvel and says to himself "Hey I can control all lightning! I'm such an idiot!" He then controls his lightning team-mate to fly into Gladiatior and knock him out. That was classic.

Another favorite fight I know of involving Thor was when the goverment wanted to kill Hulk and Thor once again volunteered to do it. Well when it looked like Thor was going to be the one dieing the military dropped a nuke on the two heros. They both survived and boy were they ticked off at the Pentagon. Can't really says as I blame them.;)

My last and favorite Thor fight was with good ol Spidey. Spidey knows he's in trouble and has to either run away or end the fight quickly. When Thor chucked his hammer at Spidey he missed of course and Spidey then proceded to use his web shooters to keep redirecting Thor's hammer away from him forcing Thor to keep recalling his hammer to him. As many of you Thor fans might see where this is going Thor didn't have much else he could do against Spider-man and after going a full minute without his hammer he turned back into his secret ID and became a normal again. Then Spidey hopped over and webbed him up so they could resolve the conflict more civil like.

Now admittedly as someone earlier in this post pointed out these fights always depend on who's writing them and in the Marvel universe a character's popularity is the ultimate factor in determining who will win the fight regardless of who's fighting or what powers they have at their disposal. Anyways those were my favorite Thor moments in comic book history. I also enjoyed one Avenger's issue when Thor's buddy Hercules got beat into a coma by the supervillian Goliath. Thor went to the hospital, payed his respects and then hunted down Goliath while he was bragging about being a "God-Slayer". Thor said something like "Thoust fancies thyself a god-slayer eh?!" "Well come and try to slay me then giant!" Thor then proceeded to beat the snot out of Goliath, guess Thor learned how to kill giants at some point in his life, because it was a one-sided @$$ kicking :D ;) .

[Mayday]

The way I always remember Thor came from the Secret Wars. There was a big ole storm going on and everyone was inside quaking in their booties that their base might be destroyed, Storm was trying to mitigate the worst damage and clearly losing on her last power reserves (back when the X-Men were insufferably cool), and then you see Thor on the roof outside like he was standing in a bathroom shower having the time of his life because y'know, Storm is just a mortal who used to claim she was a goddess, Thor is the real thing.

Yup that's when Thor wasn't Thor, but Eric Masterson who later became known as Thunderstrike. He had no idea how to use the powers at his disposal correctly.

[Tom]

During the short period where I actually started picking up comics on a regular basis...

A-Next.

All of the "new" Avengers were chained to the wall (except Mainframe) and helpless when a huge hole gets blasted in the exterior wall. There stands Mainframe with a handful of other heroes the team has encountered saying:

"Can the bad guys come out and play?"

[SirViss]

"Drop it Chairface, or I'll write my name on YOU!"

"I'll snap these steel cables like they were pasta!"
said as he was tied to someone who looked and sounded remerkably like Dick Tracy.

[JmOz]

On great Thor moments:

Thor goes to visit the grave of Eric, and there is The Absorbing man, big fight ensures, in the end, it turns out that creal was just honoring the dead (Him and Eric had a UNIQUE relationship)

[ZootSoot]

"So-called heroes ran away once. My little sister died. I don't care who you are, I ain't running!"

[BoloOfEarth]

From players in my game:

(already rolled two dice, about to roll the third) "Only a six will hurt me now."

(When the players are running out of ideas or bored) "We go to Paris, France."

(Facing off against her Hunted) "He's MINE!" (just before she got blasted into unconsciousness)

[Enforcer84]

Powerman was my Captain Marvel clone, he was very powerful but tactically unsound. Most of his "tactical solutions" got him ko'd and whenever he was called on it, he'd merely, say "It's okay, I'll survive."

[Hermit]

"You can have my power armor when you pry it from my cold dead corpes... oh wait, no you can't. In case of my death I've rigged it to fraz the wiring..." Hardcase :)

[death tribble]

I think Avengers Assemble has the edge on quotes.

As for Thor, I am always reminded of the time he took down Kang without touching him. Kang saw who he was facing and then kept saying 'It's Thor need more power !'
Thor said something along the lines of 'Verily mortal I fear thy overstretch thyself' and Kang blows up. Pure presence, no fancy speeches.

One of the other quotes I can remember offhand is when Sinister sends his killers into the sewers to kill the Morlocks and Scrambler touches Storm telling her 'And now your powers are neutralized'. She promptly slugs him saying 'A pity I have none'.
In a previous issue they had been taken away by a neutralizer device of Forge.

Living Steel had some great buttons (badges) with all sorts of great quotes on them.
'If kill you and you kill me, who's going to be left to kill them ?'
'Today is election day. We encourage all citizens to vote no with the weapon of their choice'
'Heigh Ho ! Heigh Ho !
It's to the games we go !
With razor blades and hand grenades,
Heigh Ho ! Heigh Ho !'

And there are many more where those came from.

[Spideyguy]

One of my favorites is from Superman, and it's said to Lex Luthor by Supes:

"I'll mold this box into your prison bars!"

I hope I just missed it in this thread somewhere but how is it possible everyone forgot the greatest battle cry of all time....

"It's CLOBBERIN' TIME!!!!"
-Ben Grimm, the ever lovin' blue eyed Thing.

The greatest brick (as far as the actual character is concerned) in comic history. I still wish they'd let him Kick both the Hulk and Blondy's asses.

[Klytus]

Spoken by Darkseid to Orion in the "War of the Gods" series when New Genesis, led by Orion, had come to Apokolyps to have it out once and for all...

"If I truly am to meet Death this day, you shall herald my arrival with my bootprint firmly embedded into your buttocks!"

Spoken by Batman (in the Animated Series) to a gangster who was hanging upside down at a high-rise construction site.

"OK, scumbucket. Its just you, me, and 30 stories..."

Another good one from B:tAS. One of the Joker's henchmen is driving a UPS-like truck with Batman hanging on the the roof, trying to get him to stop. Being stupid, the bad-guy refuses to cooperate, so he weaves and crashes into things, trying to shake Bats off the van. Finally, Batman tosses his batrope on the steering wheel, pulls, and the truck flips onto its side. He dives off, and the driver is thrown while the truck crashes in a fireball. With the flames danching behind him, Batman walks up to the driver, hauls him up by the collar of neck, and says...

"Let's talk."

[Rick]

Yeah Batman got raw on occasion in the animated series. Mask of the Phantasm:

Joker: "Your going to kill us both"

Bat's: "Whatever it takes"

Batman Beyond:

Terry: "How'd you know that the voices weren't actually in your head?"

Bat's: "The Voice kept calling me Bruce."

Terry: "So?"

Bat's: "I don't call myself bruce."

Terry: "What do you call yourself then?"

Bat's: silence, and a knowing look at the cowl.....

Terry: "I'm batman now."

I could just Batman's Thought after that....as if your untrained ass was anything but my field puppet.

[Super Squirrel]

I'm afraid, MartL, that I do not know who stated that one. :D

[Velocity]

As Marcus pointed out my own predilection for wisecracks here's a few from my PC and others...

Velocity to Party: "So we're flying there in a Quinjet huh?! Hell, why not increase our chances of crashing even more by painting a big "X" on our plane! Jeez!"

Velocity following a villian speedster breaking off with a stolen piece of experimental metal after she moves to NCM's and Velocity goes to his mega-scale surface flight: "Well....in that case...let's break some laws of physics."

Titan, son of Hercules, and played by a friend who has more fun with his brick than anyone should have a right to after closing in Haymaker range with a White Saturnian/Martian: "Nay villian....prepare yourself. RECiEVE THE GIFT!"

More to follow....

[Marchwarden]

Hmm...let's see...

DEFENDER (2018): Well, in the early days, his unofficial battlecry was: "All right team, let's...uh, team?" (We were a little uncoordinated at first. Also a little unused to 5th ed.'s lower defenses and more frequent attacks.)

Later though...

TELEIOS (to a group of cowering civilians): "How pathetic! You are entirely unfit! Entirely unworthy! Entirely unsuitable!"

Then, from above: "But not entirely UNDEFENDED!!!!"

The Perfect Man looks up just in time to face-block Defender's Move-Through. In the aftermath:

SILVER AVENGER RAMIREZ: "PRIMUS! Everyone remain calm! Where's Teleios the Perfect Man?"

LITTLE KID (from the crowd of civilians): "Defender just cleaned his Perfect Clock!"

Heartseeker, being a ninja, doesn't really go in for battlecries. Neither does Eternia, being an underconfident escapee from Teleios' lab. Radar Rider's radiowave-control powers include a Change Environment that lets him blast the music of his choice from every speaker within 128 hexes, so he expresses himself that way. As he puts it: "Amplifiers speak louder than words!"
Usually, he plays his own theme song, "Radar Rider" by Riggs from the soundtrack to the movie "Heavy Metal" (chorus: "Radar...radar...radar...R-R-R-RIder!"). Once, the Crowns of Krim were certain they'd seen the last of those pesky do-gooder's, when suddenly the Alleluia chorus of Handel's "Messiah" (at volume level eleven, of course) hit them from every direction as we sprang our ambush. The GM ruled that their "Susceptibility to holy objects and places" wasn't technically being trigged, but did rule that it constituted a highly effective Presence attack.

And of course, after our initial team debut mission, as we victoriously if wearily emerged from the dust and smoke of the villains' HQ, there was a reporter on scene, narrating into her microphone: "And the threat appears to have been subdued. Those responsible for this heroic rescue are coming into view now...they remain as yet unidentified..."

And Radar Rider couldn't pass up a cue like that. He gestured casually, and all speakers within earshot began to emit the immortal sounds of Queen: "Weeee...are the Champions, my fri-ends..."

As for Marchwarden, his quotes aren't precisely original. When asked why he wanted to join the team:

"Because, as is said among my kindred, there is truly no such thing as a Last Alliance."

When battling the minions of Krim, his bowshots are accompanied by cries of "Aure entuluva!" (Day shall come again!)

When we thought Eternia was dead: "Mornie...alantie..." (Darkness...has fallen...)

And occasionally, the always-popular "A Elbereth Gilthoniel!"

Needless to say, his claims of being "from New Zealand" are less than convincing.

[Stargazer]

in this one batman is facing a punk whose holding an old lady at gun point..

-punk "BACK OFF MAN!!! BACK OFF OR ILL SHOOT!!!"

From Reading SpiderGirl:

All of the heros are getting together to fight the big baddie when Spidergirl's cell phone goes off.

[st barbara]

Gee "St Barbara" doesn't really have a battle cry. Maybe I should think one up. What's the Danish for "Oh Hell ! What have we gotten into NOW !" ? The closest I came was during an incident when "St B" had a part time job at a university and was helping a professor by photocopying his papers for an upcoming exam. One of the students faked an accident and, while Pia ("St B"s" real name) was trying to help him, someone made off with the exam papers. "St Barbara" saw this and took off (in civvies, a skirt and blouse), flying OVER the building to confront the thief.As she came in to a landing infront of him, complete with rooster tail of multi coloured flame (her flight special effect) she said, in a very civil voice "I'll have those papers back now, if you please !" The ref and I both got a laugh out of that one as few people realized at that time, that she had super powers, even though she doesn't wear a mask !

Heh, lots of good quotes from HGG. The one I use all the time ( in gaming and in TRW) is "Don't Panic" ( written in large friendly letters):)

[winterhawk]

Since people have been mentioning quotes from shows...

Tick Animated: "You can't destroy the Earth...I keep all my stuff there!"

Tick Live Action, Batmanuel: "Once again, one of the great urban legends has been dispelled...ninjas don't bounce."

B:TAS has too many good ones to keep this post concise...a few favorite Joker/Harley Quinn bits:

(after Bats clobbers the Joker's hyenas, Bud and Lou):
Joker: "Hey, I don't beat up your kids...on second thought, yes I do."

From my misspent and occasionally dangerous youth...

SCENE: Me lying on the ground, bleeding, with a 4 inch knife between my ribs...
Jackass who put it there confronted by a buddy of mine with more muscle, skill and common sense.

Jackass: F#&* you man, I'll put a bullet in you!
Buddy: Do you have your gun?
Jackass: It's in my F#&* car...
Buddy: What makes you think you'll make it to your car...

Needless to say even through the shock and pain it was fun to watch the next few moments of that encounter.

Morale of the story: Never assume just because you're fighting 'fair' everyone else is....

Hey, I know some Danes and can get that for you!

One of my all time favorties comes from the Byrne run on the Fantastic Four. The Thing versus Terrax (after being revived by Doom).

The Thing: Now nuthin' baldy! If there's one thing I can't stand, it's a super-goon a makin' speeches!

A close second has to be virtually all of Mongul's lines from the Superman annual "For The Man Who Has Everything" written by Alan Moore and drawn by Dave Gibbons (before WATCHMEN). The comic is packed away, so let me paraphrase:

Mongul: I understand distinctions on this planet are made according to age and gender. So to be polite, which of you should I kill first?

Mongul: Is that a neural impactor? Do they still make those? You should use the plasma projector, it's lighter, more of a woman's weapon.

Oh, and Superman gets mad:

Supes: Burn. (insert heat vision here)

... where it came from, but it goes something like:

"I know a hundred ways to make you regret that. Pick a number..."




I don't know why, but its between Gambit or Hancock...I think... (sorry for misspelling, I'm bit tried.)

The executioner had a similar line in the start of one of his books.

I am not their judge, I am their judgement. I am their executioner.

The one that springs most quickly to mind was from a player in a brief Champions campaign I ran. Her name was Dynamo. She got really upset if you accidently pronounced it "Domino". Anywho, she was a short, red-headed Irish lass. She was the party brick, with absorbing powers that fed her strength. She quickly got nicknamed Thumper because she was always saying some variant of "I'm gonna Thump sumthin'." "Hush, or I'll Thump you but good!" "I'm gonna Thump you one!"

Doc

That's pretty great.
