Single-line sensations
Vacation Tips
The One-Liner: “Get your ass to Mars.” ( Total Recall )
If It Was Longer: “Get your ass to Mars. Or don’t. I’m just a computer recording so I won’t know either way. It’s up to you, really. Um, yeah.”
Hot Stuff
The One-Liner: “Let off some steam.” ( Commando )
If It Was Longer: “Let off some steam, you’re looking a little overheated to me. I find a nice Swedish massage and a session at the gym helps get the kinks out.”
Hamlet 2.0
The One-Liner: “To be or not to be? Not to be.” ( The Last Action Hero )
If It Was Longer: “To be or not to be? Not to be. In fact, what is it to ‘be’? Let’s put the kettle on and have a think about it.”
Helicopter Hysteria
The One-Liner: “GET TO THE CHOPPA!” ( Predator )
If It Was Longer: “GET TO THE CHOPPA! CAN EVERYBODY HEAR ME? SHALL I SHOUT LOUDER?”
Cut Down To Size
The One-Liner: “Here is Sub-Zero. Now plain zero.” ( The Running Man )
If It Was Longer: “Here is Sub-Zero. Now plain zero. I know, that doesn’t really make any sense, but it sounds good, right?”
Side Splitting
The One-Liner: “Oh, he had to split.” ( The Running Man )
If It Was Longer: “Oh, he had to split, in the sense that he had to leave. That’s an American colloquial term, in case you were wondering.”
Party Pooper
The One-Liner: “I'm the party pooper.” ( Kindergarten Cop )
If It Was Longer: “I’m the party pooper and I’ve got crazy in my eyes!”

Strange Saviour
The One-Liner: “Come with me if you want to live.” ( Terminator 2 )
If It Was Longer : “Come with me if you want to live. When I say ‘live’, I mean temporarily. Being a mere human, you're bound to die sooner or later.”
Party On
The One-Liner: “See you at the party, Richter.” ( Total Recall )
If It Was Longer: “See you at the party, Richter. Don’t worry if your boss is there – like you, he’s mostly ‘armless.”
He Means It
The One-Liner: “I’ll be back.” ( The Terminator )
If It Was Longer: “I’ll be back… with my car.”
