    From the 1992 masterpiece Evil Toons:
    Terry: "Either way, it's a dark, stormy night and we're four young, attractive girls in a big, spooky house all alone. If we don't go downstairs one at a time, how will we ever get bumped off without the others knowing about it?"

    (I'd post the trailer, but it's not exactly SFW. The casting director used adult film actresses as apparently they have fewer issues with nudity than most mainstream performers, go figure.)

    Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives - be somewhere else.

    (UCS) "These Exaltations won't catalyze. What am I doing wrong?"
    (Autochthon) "Let me see that. Hm. Are you putting everything you have into this?"
    (UCS) "Of course not. Nothing can withstand that."
    (Autochthon) "These Exaltations are insufficiently awesome. You must push yourself to your limits."
    (UCS) "But I have none."
    (Autochthon) "Nevertheless."
    (UCS) "Very well—but I warned you."


    And on that day the sun flared so that it encompassed the entire sky, and Creation was taken with terror and wonder. Luna rose ahead of schedule to shield the world from that unbearable light, and beneath the apocalyptic vision of this eclipse, the first Exalted began to take the Second Breath...

    We don’t need a list of rights and wrongs, tables of dos and don’ts: we need books, time, and silence. Thou Shalt Not is soon forgotten, but Once Upon a Time lasts forever.

    "Violence is the one, universal language. Feel its bite within your soul. Hear its maddening rhythm."

    "It has been said that I like war."

    Across the Segmentum, vox-broadcasters boomed, listening posts and choral beacons fluttering with announcement.

    "I do not like war."

    Some registered it as a deep belly-thunder. Others detected howling barks, or blasts of noise that rang within helmets and armors.

    "I love war."

    "I love invasions. I love sieges. I love orbital bombardments. I love defenses, charges, exterminations and retreats, across plains and mountains and barren moons, on the water, in the air, and in the void of space."

    "I love it when my fleet gets stuck in with the Imperials, and scatters their weak ships before we smash them to pieces. And there's nothing like catching the bugs in a trap, and crushing them in our iron fist. And the feeling that comes when we've broken through the lines of the Dead Ones and ripped out their Tombworld's guts is a real good feeling. And the look on the Eldar's faces when we landed on one of their worlds after they thought we were dead, that's a thing of beauty that is."

    The noise bursts grew louder and more intense, hollered across the interstellar void. They broke above the heads of the hapless denizens of Tempestus, echoing above streets and rumbling through skies.

    "But now... after sixty million years in the darkness, for us, an ordinary war will no longer be good enough."

    "We will have a war that will make the Warp tremble. We will have a war that will remind the galaxy of what we are. It will be a war that only we can bring!"

    The final pronouncement was carried by the loudest noise burst of all, delivered like a hammer blow to the guts and lungs. It shook the internal organs, made ears and noses bleed, and pounded against skulls like iron spikes.

    "A TRUE WAR!" Skullkrak roared, his voice carrying across the Segmentum. "A KRORK WAR! We are the WAR OF THE KRORK!"

    The galaxy shook as the second limb of the Warring Triad stretched out its claws, and clenched them into a fist. The second head of the great beast of the ancients awoke, opened its trillions of tusked throats, and roared with one voice.

    "WAR! WAR! WAR! WAR! WAR! WAR! WAR! WAR!"


    ~ War of the Krork

    Remember: when people tell you something's wrong or doesn't work, they are almost always right. When they tell you exactly what's wrong and how to fix it, they are almost always wrong.
