Mmmmmm. Alicia. Sorry.
And I'm sorry for this, as well. If anyone needs help figuring this one out . . .. I'm actually surprised we'd gone this long without this reference:
“Not so fast, gentlemen,” I quipped glancing down the
hall.
The demon-sorcerer was holding a fairly wicked-looking needle
in his hand. The big guy was holding Miao Yin. The trio looked at me, somewhat
surprised by my announcement.
“Is it too much to ask, Thunder?” The demon-sorcerer pointed
the needle in my direction. “Kill him! For me!”
He took Miao Yin away from Thunder and stepped back, down the
hall. Thunder turned and flared his cape dramatically. He strode to meet me at
the entrance to the hall.
"Lets think about that ‘Dave.’” I sauntered past the Buddha
statues to meet Thunder head on. “Too many people around here been droppin’
like flies already. And where’s that gettin’ us? Huh? Nowhere. Fast. Ah,
you know what ol’ Doug Sangnoir says at a time like this?”
The big guy didn’t look very impressed.
“Who?”
“Doug Sangnoir! Me!”

ETA: I have a horrible, horrible idea for a very funny one. It would only be four words . . . but I think Bob would kill me for using it. It's a cheap shot, but utterly appropriate to the source material.
