    Just picked up The Bureau, and got a free copy of Enemy Unknown and it's 2 DLC's because I already own them.

    Lets see. To win, post your favorite quote from a sci-fi movie/T.V. show, and when I go to work on 8/20/2013 (around 1 P.M. MST) I will pick a winner.


    EDIT: One quote per person. and please say the movie or show it is from.

    EDIT 2: This is a Steam game, so you MUST have a Steam account to be eligible.

    The 11th Doctor : "OK, question of the hour, who has the pandorica? Answer; I do. Next question, who is coming to take it from me? Come on! No plans, no backup, no weapons worth a damn. Oh, and something else-- I have nothing to lose! So if your sitting up there in your silly little spaceship, with all your silly little guns, and you've got any plans to take the Pandorica tonight, just remember who is standing in your way."

    "Get to the Chopper!!!" -Arnold
    From Predator

    I love all Arnold quotes lol, but I had to use a Sci-Fi movie.

    My favorite quote stuck in my head right now that is not Sci-F is from Monty Python.

    "Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government" so that is not for the contest just sayin'

    'The Big Bang Theory'

    Sheldon: Why are you crying?
    Penny: Because I'm stupid!
    Sheldon: That's no reason to cry. One cries because one is sad. For example, I cry because others are stupid, and that makes me sad.

    Since not many have entered, and three of those disqualify by not using a Sci-fi movie/tv show quote, I am extending this until I leave to work tomorrow (probably around 1 P.M. MST) You have an opportunity now to fix your quote if it isn't sci-fi, and a chance for others to participate.

    Was this a random drawing or did you simply pick the quote you liked the most? You didn't make it clear in the contest rules.

    wasn't really a "contest"

    wrote the names and picked one at random. I do like the quote though.
