Quote: “Now, I would just like to point out that this film is displaying a distinct tendency to become silly. Now, nobody likes a good laugh more than I do… except, perhaps my wife, and some of her friends. Oh yes, and Captain Johnson.  Come to think of it, most people like a good laugh more than I do… but that's beside the point.  I'm warning this film not to get silly again!”
