Armageddon/Funny

"Carl: "I want to name her Dottie, after my wife."
 * Beg'n your pardon sir, but it's a big-ass sky.
 * Naming the asteroid.

Dottie: *Starts to smile*

Carl: "She's a vicious, life-sucking bitch from which there is no escape..."

Dottie: *calmly raises middle finger*

Truman: "That...that's sweet, Carl.""

"Harry: Make your peace with God, A.J.!"
 * Harry chasing A.J. with a shotgun for catching him in bed with his daughter...and periodically shooting at him:

"Bear: (steps in Harry's path, hefting a positively gigantic pipe-fitting wrench) What's going on there, boss?
 * Trying to get Bear to stop him:

Harry: You don't want none of this, Bear!

Bear: (smirks) Just trying to give my boy a head start, that's all. (steps aside)"

"Chick: You really don't wanna go killing the best man on your team right before we strike oil.
 * A little Conversational Troping between Chick and Harry:

Harry: Aw, shucks, Chick, I ain't gonna kill him, I'll just blow off a foot. A man can work with one foot. Remember ole Willie worked all them years with just one hand?

Chick: Yeah, but he wasn't very good."

"A.J.: (cowering) Harry! Please! (pause) I love her!
 * Ending with...

Harry: WAY WRONG ANSWER! (shoots, catching A.J. with Just a Flesh Wound in the leg, which makes A.J. Freak-Out)"

"Rockhound: You wanna compare brainpans? I won the Westinghouse prize when I was 12, big deal. Published at 19, so what. I got a double doctorate from MIT at 22, Chemistry and Geology. I taught at Princeton for two and a half years."
 * The best scene for laughs is when the gang goes through the training exams.

"Chick: Aw, gee, lady. I just came here to drill.

Nurse: *pulls out a very ominous medical probe* Oh! So did I.

Chick: his eyes widen in horror and he hurries away from her)"

"Max: *reacting to an immense hypodermic needle* Who's that for? Mr. Ed? You stick that thing in me, I'm gonna stab you in the heart with it. You ever see Pulp Fiction?"

"Rockhound: (carelessly tossing aside a solved Rubik's Cube) Piece of cake."

"Bear: I am not crazy! *begins crying* I'm just a little emotional right now, ok? Ya'll throwing all this stuff at me, man! Look, I mean, after this is over, can I like get a hug from you or something?"

"Rockhound: Okay, Cyclops Lady's starting to bug me."

"Rockhound: Yeah, I remember this one. It's where the, uh, the coyote sat his ass down in a slingshot then he strapped himself to an Acme rocket. Is that...is that what we're doin' here?
 * Rockhound's less than confident reaction to the assisted slingshot (called an Oberth maneuver in real life)

Harry Stamper: Rockhound...

Rockhound: Really, because it didn't work out too well for the coyote, Harry.

Truman: Well, actually, we have a lot better rockets than the coyote."

"A.J.: Have you ever heard of Evel Knievel?
 * Some of the drillers looking over pictures of Lev's family. Lev then very calmly describes the one (his uncle) that designed the warheads of the Soviet Union's nuclear arsenal, and how they were designed to seek out specific cities. American cities. He's very giddy about it. The drillers...aren't.
 * This bit of gold between A.J. and our friendly Cosmonaut.

Lev: No, I never saw Star Wars."

"A.J.: What are you doing?
 * Moments later, when something goes wrong during their vehicular jump, it's time for Lev to save the day.

Lev: I'm going outside.

A.J.: You're going outside?

Lev: I AM THE ONLY CERTIFIED ASTRONAUT HERE, AND I AM SAVING YOUR AMERICAN ASS!

Bear: (after Lev leaves) Yeah. You listen to him. Right."

"Rockhound: (sitting astride the nuclear bomb and humming the William Tell Overture to himself) YEE-HAW! RIDE 'EM COWBOY! YIPPIE KAI OH KAI YAY!
 * And who could forget this little gem.

Sharp: (gawking) GET OFF. THE NUCLEAR. WARHEAD.

Rockhound: I was doing that guy, from that movie, you know, Slim Pickens? Where he rides it all the way in, the nuclear warhead?

Sharp: (Death Glare) Now!

Rockhound: ...you didn't see that one, huh?

Harry: We got 700 ft. of hole to dig, Rockhound!

Rockhound: Alright. Just wanted to feel the power between my legs, brother. (dismounts) Hey Sharp! (chanting) No nukes! No nukes! No nukes!

(Sharp sighs in disgust)

Harry: You got any more bullets in that gun, Sharp?"

""...Is this good, or bad?""
 * During the tense "drawing straws" scene, we cut to all of the characters' faces, and then Lev looks at the straw he has drawn.

"Lev Andropov: Amerrrrican compoooonents, Russian compoooonents, all made in TAIWAN!"
 * Lev, the Russian Hero, has this to say to bitchy prima-donna astronauts who disrespect the man who had kept Mir running for the past eighteen months. Alone.

"Lev Andropov: This! Is how we fix things! On! Russian! Space! Station! BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO STAY HERE ANYMORE!"
 * And when the cowboy starts to panic, the cosmonaut then proceeds to repair the state-of-the-art spacecraft she couldn't.

"Harry: Yeah, uh, one more thing, uh...none of them wanna...pay taxes again. Ever. (chuckles, shrugs)"
 * Harry asks the guys where Grace went off to and they automatically respond "with A.J." and then remember that Harry doesn't want them together and try to retract the statement...badly.
 * The sequence of NASA trying to round up the guys, particularly, "COME AND GET PAPA BEAR!"
 * The team's "requests" before agreeing to go on the mission. Particularly the very last one:

"Grace Stamper: First time I got my period, Rock had to take me into Tai-Pei for Tampax. And then he had to show me how to use them, Harry.
 * Grace's chat with her father about growing up with roughnecks.

[off Harry's stern look]

Rockhound: Ho-ho. I ju- No I-I told her how to use it. I didn't show her, Harry."


 * "So we're going swimming on this asteroid? Is that what this is for?"
