Claiming "the budget can't allow it" reminds me of when you walk into a restaurant at a civilized hour like ten o'clock and they say "the kitchen is closed." For years I would hear this, and think, "damn, just a little too late, oh well, thank you, I...
First Statue: Don't go on... Second Statue: Go back, while you still can... Third Statue: This is not the way... Fourth Statue: Take heed, and go no further... Fifth Statue: Beware, beware... Sixth Statue: Soon it will be too late... Hoggle: Ah, don'...
Vincent Gambini: Okay, you're helping. We'll use your pictures. Ah! These *are* gonna be - you know, I'm sorry, these are going to be a help. I should have looked at these pictures before. I like this, uh, this is our first hotel room, right? That'll...

Edward Cole: You want some too? I'll have Thomas fix you a plate. Carter Chambers: No thanks. Edward Cole: You sure? Best in L.A. [later, throwing up] Carter Chambers: It ain't the best in L.A. no more.
