Add your own quotes, or slightly edited quotes, or come up with your own.

Orson Scott Card, Xenocide. Modified to make sense without reading the rest of the book:

Alien: Why did you manage to manufacture the humans space-craft before ours? We requested ours a long time before they did.
Other Alien: All the humans wanted was a box with a door, no propulsion, no life support, no cargo space. Heck, we don't even know what they want it for.

(In case you were wondering, the humans were trying to move a spacecraft through space by sheer willpower. I haven't finished the book yet, but it seems they have a chance. He's built up all the physics for it to happen)

Alan Dean Foster, Lost and Found. As per original.

Marcus (human): You're a real son of a ★■◆●, you know that?
George (enhanced dog): I should certainly hope so

I was walking home one night and a guy hammering on a roof called me a paranoid little weirdo. In Morse code.
