    Am I just really confused or should the copy for Dune and Dune (TV Miniseries) be switched around? I don't think Virginia is in 2006 Dune except for some deleted scenes.

    Male announcer: The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the red zone.


    Female announcer: The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the red zone.


    Male announcer: [later] The red zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the white zone.


    Female announcer: No, the white zone is for loading of passengers and there is no stopping in a RED zone.


    Male announcer: The red zone has always been for loading and unloading of passengers. There's never stopping in a white zone.


    Female announcer: Don't you tell me which zone is for loading, and which zone is for stopping!


    Male announcer: Listen Betty, don't start up with your white zone shit again.


    Male announcer: There's just no stopping in a white zone.


    Female announcer: Oh really, Vernon? Why pretend, we both know perfectly well what this is about. You want me to have an abortion.


    Male announcer: It's really the only sensible thing to do, if its done safely. Therapeutically there's no danger involved.

    The 1953 version of War of the Worlds, with Sir Cedric Hardwicke, is all the voiceover intro you'll ever need

    Missing monologue: "My name is Chev Chelios, and this is the day that I died". Ok, some of you may argue that it's not sci-fi, but really, it's not THAT far.

    You know, everyone vilifies it, but I always had a soft spot for Harrison Ford's narration in the non director's cut Blade Runner. "I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life."
