Burt Gummer, of all the Tremors movies, is a favorite of mine.
“I feel I was denied critical need-to-know information.”
“I feel I was denied critical need-to-know information.”

OK. That line from Burt is a keeper! Funny!
I do electronics testing for a large lighting company, and I’ve been given fairly free reign on data interpretation and reporting. My judgment is the “authoritative source”. I’ve been doing this for a long time.
Often I will be visited by an engineer all in a huff that doesn’t quite see eye-to-eye with me on why I failed his sample. I review the reports with them and explain what needs to be fixed or where they didn’t follow procedure. Unless I’ve done something real stupid like a fat-fingered typo on the report, I always win the contest. I send them on their way defeated. My EMI gung-foo is impressive.
After I’ve pretty much demonstrated they’ve wasted their time coming through my lab door, once in a blue moon I will leave them with this Burt-ism:
“Broke into the wrong [goll-darn] rec room now didn’t ya!!”
Most of the time my attempts at levity are wasted. These young-uns around here were born after the first Tremors movie came out anyway. I least I entertain myself.</slide>
