King of the Moon: I'm back! I got lips again and I'm gonna use 'em, baby!

Baron Munchausen: Your reality, sir, is lies and balderdash and I'm delighted to say that I have no grasp of it whatsoever.

Sultan: Have you any famous last words?::Baron Munchausen: Not yet.::Sultan: "Not yet"? Is that famous?

I'm trying to die!::Sally: Why?::Baron Munchausen: Because I'm tired of the world and the world is evidently tired of me.::Sally: But why? Why?::Baron Munchausen: Why, why, why! Because it's all logic and reason now. Science, progress, laws of hydraulics, laws of social dynamics, laws of this, that, and the other. No place for three-legged cyclops in the South Seas. No place for cucumber trees and oceans of wine. No place for me.

Come along.::Horatio Jackson: This sort of behavior is demoralizing for the ordinary soldiers and citizens who are trying to lead normal, simple, unexceptional lives. I think things are difficult enough as it is without these emotional people rocking the boat.
