First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out -- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out -- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out -- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me -- and there was no one left to speak for me.

Let's just say that I have a number in mind and I haven't hit it yet. That's a little abstract. What's the target? I'd rather not... Is it a secret target? It's ten million miles. Okay. Isn't ten million just a number? Pi's just a number. Well, we all need a hobby. No, I- I- I don't mean to belittle your collection. I get it. It sounds cool.

[on getting through airport security] Never get behind old people. Their bodies are littered with hidden metal and they never seem to appreciate how little time they have left. Bingo, Asians. They pack light, travel efficiently, and they have a thing for slip on shoes. Gotta love 'em. That's racist. I'm like my mother, I stereotype. It's faster.
