Especially if you do a Ra-ghoratreii / Clarence Boddicker mashup.



"I dunno, maybe I'm just not making myself clear. I don't want to fuck with you, Mr. Ambassador, but the Federation has the connections, the Federation has the sales organization. The Federation has the muscle to shove enough of your Empire so far up your stupid Klingon ass that you'll shit dilithium crystals for a year!"

...or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" - starring the great Peter Sellers as President Muffley, as well as Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake and Dr. Strangelove, himself.

The "merkin/muff(ley)" reference is comedy gold.

President "Bobby": Mr. Gardner, do you agree with Ben, or do you think that we can stimulate growth through temporary incentives?
Chance: As long as the roots are not severed, all is well. And all will be well in the garden.
President "Bobby": In the garden.
Chance: Yes. In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again.
President "Bobby": Spring and summer.
Chance: Yes.
President "Bobby": Then fall and winter.
Chance: Yes.
Benjamin Rand: I think what our insightful young friend is saying is that we welcome the inevitable seasons of nature, but we're upset by the seasons of our economy.
Chance: Yes! There will be growth in the spring!
Benjamin Rand: Hmm!
Chance: Hmm!
