Killing the customers is bad for business. The Dignitas Clinic disagrees.

Grab me a souvenir T-shirt if you make it out of there. I hear they play Hotel California constantly at Sauron’s Casino.

So is burning a lawyer with a design flaw you knew about and failed to rectify.

It’s never a good idea to only wound a lawyer. Just ask Dick Cheney.

They always make fun of Lucas’ dialogue but that’s one of the greats.
Lucas hates Republicans; it’s sort of fun to turn it on him. His later Star Wars movies are a lesson in political schizophrenia.

Somehow, this one is one of the omitted ones from the incomplete Human compilations...but it MUST be in the Master List of the Rules of Acquisition on Ferenginar.
