Notable quotes

“I had to get it out of the house. I'm kidding. It was just a matter of changing priorities... later on down the road six, eight months when thousands and thousands of these things have come out maybe I could circle back around and pick it up again slightly lower than the price that I got”
Don
“Why am I selling it? Why am I selling it, Jenkins? Well, you have some plans, and I'm so excited about those plans.”
Don / Genghis
“I powder-coated the coin door and the speaker panel. The whole thing matches. It's loaded with my mods and things... I think that's kind of around where I'm at with it.”
Don
“I still don't think it's, like, where it needs to be. But I'm wondering if that sucks some energy away from... getting the final two guys here in Dungeons & Dragons.”
Don
“I mean, Harry Potter. Yeah. Congratulations. Good! Get to the Java! He doesn't say run. He says, Oh! That's so bad again. I mean, come on. Say it the right way. Come on.”
Genghis
“You're telling me Freaking Bruce Campbell, man. Oh, I love that theme... Where we're at right now. All right, you said five years ago. Let's compare it with something like some years back.”
Genghis / Don
“2025? And there's still rumored stuff to come out. We're supposed to get another Star Wars title. Spooky's next title is about to drop.”
Don
“Which of these themes do you have a problem with that needed to be better? I'm just saying. Where we're at right now.”
Don
“For location, it doesn't work. Nobody from the mainstream knows what Black Knight is. But for us, it's an amazing theme.”
Don
“The circle's complete... Well, I could finally see it in person. Oh, my God.”
Genghis
