Matthew Woodring Stover and Lou Anders (+1)
Anders: "I gave up on page 188, having endured shameless padding and horrendous transgressions of the most basic rule of writing—"show, don't tell"— far longer than I would normally tolerate for the purpose of this essay..."

Stover:'' "Shameless padding? 'Show, don't tell'? Is that all you've got? No wonder you're an editor instead of a writer. That's the most pathetic excuse for a personal insult I've ever heard. I get better than that from the semi-literate wannabes on the Web.

"'Stover makes Dan Brown look like Tolstoy.'

"'Heroes Die'' is the kind of book a demented third-grader might finger paint in his own vomit.'

"'The only way Blade of Tyshalle could be worse is if it had been edited by that pseudo-intellectual human pimple from Pyr.'

As trash-talk goes, Mr. Hundreds-of-Manuscripts-per-Year, yours barely makes it to the level of a stuck-out tongue."

Listen.

''Hear that? Softly, softly, someone is knocking at your door—a long time ago, on a summer afternoon far,far away...''

''If you let your younger self pull back the curtain... if you let yourself squint into that brilliant golden light...''

It's me and George.

Come on—Han's got the Falcon ''in the park behind the basketball court, but there isn't much time—!

Here's your lightsaber...

Come out and play.

Imperial officer (Robot Chicken SW) (+4)
"Welcome to orientation day here on the jolly ol' Death Star! Now they're a few things we want to go over with you, concerning Lord Vader. First, and foremost, he thinks he has the power to strangle us. Truth is, he doesn't. Now if he ever realized this, he would kill us with his lightsaber. Thus to keep us safe, we'll all pretend to get strangled. Okay! Let's try a practice. Commander Winston here will assist me, I'm going to hold out my hand like Lord Vader, and he will pretend to be strangled. Gasping for air! Grabs throat!&hellip;yes, heh&hellip;eyes back, and he's down! Good show commander! Now, two of the floor chiefs will retrieve the corpse, re-dress him, add a mustache, and he's back to work as&hellip;Lieutenant Leopold. Vader has the satisfaction of killing someone, and we stay amongst the living! Why, Private Perkins over there has been strangled over thirty times! Haven't you Perkins? Ha, ha, ha! Good man."
