Men in Black1997

[Agent K shows James around MIB headquarters.]

James:
Hey, uh, what--what branch of the government do we report to?

Agent K:
Well, none. They ask too many questions.

James:
So who pays for all this?

Agent K:
We hold the patents on a few gadgets that we confiscated from out-of-state visitors, um...Velcro, microwave ovens, liposuction... [shows James a tiny disc] This is a fascinating little gadget. It's going to replace CDs soon. Guess I'll have to buy the White Album again. [points out another device] Oh, that is a lot of fun. It's a universal translator. We're not even supposed to have it, and I'll tell you why.

[turns it on; it plays a distorted echo of his words]

Agent K:
Human thought is so primitive, it's looked upon as an infectious disease in some of the better galaxies. [turns it off] That kinda makes you proud, doesn't it, huh?
