That… uh… shouldn't happen. You might wanna see a proctologist.

Of course she's not a hosta. She's not a decorative landscaping plant of any kind. Duh.

I want some, too!

I believe the working title for the 5th one was Rambo vs. The Veterans' Administration.

It takes two to tango. And cash speaks loudest. So… offer him a bribe.

They could get Carter Burwell, too!

"He's been trained to eat things that would make a billy goat puke— like most Indian food."

Cue Trumpist criticism of "states' rights" in 3… 2… 1…

So… How ya doin'? Nice to meet ya.

It's not illegal to hire a private detective firm to do opposition research. It is illegal to accept or solicit a donation of anything of value— which the FEC has ruled includes information, although a federal court could well say otherwise— from a foreign national and/or government during the course of a campaign.
