    What's your favorite McBain line?
    Mine has been:
    Script Guy: Up and atom.
    McBain: UP AND AT THEM.
    Script Guy: Up and atom!
    McBain: UP AND AT THEM!
    Script Guy: UP AND ATOM!!!
    McBain: UP AND AT THEM!!!
    Script Guy: Better.
    And also:
    McBain: Here'z my Woody Allen impression, "I'm a neurotic nerd who likes
    to sleep with little girls!"


    Technically you're quoting Rainier Wolfcastle as Radioactive Man but well worth the post anyway.

    Technically you're replying to a message posted nearly a quarter
    century ago, but well worth the post anyway. Perhaps his son will
    reply to you tomorrow. Or perhaps his grandson will reply to your
    son in 2046.
