Madness or Genius - 2. Not an Action Movie one-liner

Because when I was done writing it where I was writing it wouldn't fit in Discord.
I could claim that the typos are there for authenticity. I really plan to edit later.

Someone asked a room: "You're in an action movie, what's your best one-liner?'

First attempt was vaguely successful:

VampireMystic: "I told them... I TOLD them... but Nooo, and now I've got to deal with it., or they'll convince themselves it was my pet or something" *camera zooms back so the city on fire and giant tentacular horror are in frame. * - gazes at it with an appraising eye - "As if I'd make anything with such shoddy workmanship..."

VampireMystic: Every time I read it I start laughing so I completely forgot the next one I was gonna do.

It's so funny because after I wrote it, I realized that, it's not how he would say it but, I have a character, or 2, this could happen to

*edited version where they are both standing there*

A:"If nothing else, at least they can't possibly blame us for this. "
B: ...
A: "You don't think... I mean, sure they're... but you don't REALLY think..?"
B:...
A: *sinks down in a massive "I can't even, " sigh*
B: "There's less paperwork if we let it finish off the residential district it's headed for "
A: *Snorts* Nobles... we Told them. I remember. I was there. You were there. It's poetic.
B: of course, there's their children...
A: probably already cruel and arrogant and deranged
B: And the servants.
A: They know who pays them and where the money comes from. They're just as guilty.
B: ...And their children
A: it's the parents' responsibility , they accept ed the risks
B: ...
- silence for a minute -
B: There was that menagerie.
A: *twitch* "I suppose that tiger and the rest didn't agree to be there.
B: They'd never be able to prove that the thing didn't break a few walls and...accidentally free... the entire collection BEFORE we killed it.
*they straighten and stretch *
A: so it's 'free the oppressed and deliver them from bondage ' this time?
B: "it sounds better than "to save the big kitty and some birds and things "
* walking toward to source of firelight that we now see is the city on fire with the giant tentacular horror coming into frame*

-fade out-

-noises of battle unseen -

- later. Amidst smoke the rising sun illuminates rubble ...and heros... covered in what is likely NOT particularly chunky preserves.

A: there was that... other... collection.
B: ...
A: We did lose the souvenirs when the inn went.
B: yawn "No."
A: what's one last explosion? It'd be months before he digs hrough enough rubble to even hope of finding anything. Much less take an inventory.
B: *Sigh* Love, we already got the tiger. He seems to be enjoying a walk on a leash.
- the leash being the pulley chain from the district gate -
He wouldn't like being tied up outside to wait.
A: ...
B: I think the thieves guild survived. I doubt the honorable mayor will have his collection much longer.
A: ours is better anyway

- later. While using a pair of mostly intact mirrors they happened by to teach the tiger "chase the dot of light"

A: still, better than the last one?
B: You're still calling THAT a vacation?
A; I was calling it a Thursday.

- a pause to wipe more gore from getting in his eyes-
B: Hmm, in that case... Yes.
