Some of you will get this! From The Big Bang Theory, when Howard was learning to fence: "my name is Darth Vader, I am you're father, prepare to die!"

The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (2004)
-- Peter Sellers (Geoffrey Rush) is offered the role of Inspector Clouseau in The Pink Panther but doesn't want it.

Agent: "Now you may be a big star in Britain but the folks in Duluth have never heard of you."
Sellers: "Well, we're even. I've never heard of Duluth."

Magnum P.I. Jonathan Higgins:

"Lt. Teddy Fabishaw, a good officer but one with an unfortunate compulsion to worship lizards. Teddy lost his commission when he was caught with a Colonel's daughter performing an unspeakable act with an iguana!"

Magnum P.I. Jonathan Higgins:

"By God, I lost my temper. I haven't done that in twenty years. I'm resorting to physical violence like some tawdry melodrama!"

At the time that the cartoon was made, most people would catch the WWII military references - today, probably not one person in 1000 would - unfortunately.

I love Jonathan Quayle Higgins III quotes. Back in the day, I identified with Thomas Magnum. Now, a couple of decades later, I thoroughly and completely identify with Higgins. One more:

Higgins: Malaysia, 1943, our regiment was hopelessly outnumbered and facing certain death. In our ranks was a young lieutenant, Ian Bowerly, and during a lull in the battle, he recited "Gunga Din," I suppose to keep up our courage for facing the inevitable. His eloquent recitation grew increasingly louder until it thundered through the jungle. To our amazement, the Japanese troops walked forward. Though they spoke no English, they were entranced by the poem. They allowed us all to leave the area unharmed except for poor Mr. Bowerly. As we made our escape we could hear him reciting other Kipling favorites, literally for miles. To this day his fate remains unknown.
