Quotes from Wallace Shawn's Characters

1. Masked Avenger: I wonder if future generations will ever even hear about us. It's not likely. After enough time, everything passes. I don't care how big we are or how important are our lives.
From Radio Days. Submitted by Adam O (2 months ago)

1. Vizzini: You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
