"Yeah! Time to kick some Towelhead butt! USA! USA! Oh, the Olympics? Shit. I thought you said 'war.'"

"You know, I was just saying the other day that there isn't enough ice-skating on television."

"Olympics? I think I ate there once. They have, like, cheeseburgers and gyros and stuff, right?"
Caroline Kelley,

"Thank goodness they've added Autumn Olympics in 1999 and Spring Olympics in 2001. No year is complete without a once-every-four-years Olympic competition."
