Transcript of “Simple Mistakes”

Panel 1. George Lucas points and insists: "Greedo ALWAYS shot first." Panel 2. Citizen Kane, in black and white at a microphone: ""Rosebud" was the numerical combination to his safe. It was coincidence that his sled had the same name." Panel 3. Tyler Durden in his fur coat and tinted glasses, with the Narrator collapsed behind him: "I was always real. He just went nuts at the end." Panel 4. The Terminator: "I just wanted a hug. In the future hugs are given by shotgun." Panel 5. HAL 9000: "No one died and It wasn't full of stars... he was trippin' balls on LSD." Panel 6. George Lucas again: "Phantom Menace was about Jar Jar's journey as a hero."
