Robotnik
I'm in charge. You've never seen anything like this before. This says I'm the top banana, in a world full of hungry little monkeys. Allow me to clarify. In a sequentially-ranked hierarchy, based on level of critical importance, the disparity between us is too vast to quantify. Agent Stone?

And nobody cares how proud your Mommy is that you're now reading at a third-grade level. Have you finished ] yet? Spoiler alert: she dies in the end. But she leaves a big creepy egg sac. Ah, my babies! Look what came out of my egg sac! You know what I love about machines? They do what they're told. They follow their programming! They don't need time off to get drunk and put the boat in the water! And you do what you're told: stand over there on the edge of your personal abyss, and watch my machines do your job. Can you feel it, Stone?

Struggles of a Losing Baseball Team
Mapel
We are the boys of summer, and it's a big bummer. No matter who we play, we give the game away. Cause we can't win. That would be a sin. We even lose the games before they begin--

You don't think as a team, you don't play as a team, you don't even lose as a team! You all got your heads so far up your butts, you can't even see the light of day! One more loss and I'll ... and I'll do this ...to each and every one of you!!

I want you... here in uniform at 9 tomorrow! We're going back to work on fundamentals!!

Whitt Bass

You can be a pitcher and a jackass.
José Martinez
Sí, it's very common.
Whitt Bass
Oh!
[faintly falls into his locker area while feeling unconscious]
