"This is great."
"I told ya!"
"I can't believe we didn't do this years ago."
"Yes, well, let's not dwell."
"Didn't that tape say there were no fish in your pond?"
"Close enough."

"Sir, I think I know why we haven't caught anything."
"Really? What do you suggest, Colonel?"
"We need better bait."
"This isn't fly fishing, Sam. Worms should be fine. I do have a few lures you could try, but they are too big for the fish in this pond. Trust me when I say you're not going to catch anything with them."
"Hmmm...maybe we could try something else."
"Like what."
"I don't know…chopped up pieces of Kinsey or maybe Woosley?"
"That would make the fish lose their appetites. Someone like you would be much more appetizing. But nobody gets to nibble on you but me, Sam."
"Plus I like your nibbling a lot better than the prospect of floating around in pieces in a pond."
"I know what we could use."
"What, Jack?"
"Magnets."
"And how exactly is that supposed to work?"
"I don't know. That's what I have you for. I'm sure you could figure something out."
