Yeah. Christian I am not. Otherwise you may be right.

"Would you mind telling me who that is?"
"That, Miss Lincoln, is simply my cat."

"I could buy your planet ten times over with what I've gathered in this room. Plutonium...cadmium...Qualine crystals...I've been very well paid for my work."
"I'm sorry to have trespassed on your time."
"No...wait. Listen to the rest. I sleep with my back to the wall...when I can sleep. I eat serpent 7 times a week. There's not a major city in this galaxy where I can show my face, or spend my wealth. Right now your offer looks very attractive to me. A meal, and a place to hide."

"Sador! This is Cayman, of the Lambda Zone. Turn around, you overaged degenerate, and we'll bump heads!"
(I always loved that line!)

- Battle Beyond The Stars
(Yeah, it was a ripoff of The Magnificent 7...which itself ripped off The Seven Samurai!)
