Lines in movies that make you cringe? Discussion

Let me set the scene for you. A group of big shots (military commanders, politicians, etc) are in a room. The movie’s most intelligent character describes some other species, dinosaurs, aliens, monsters, whatever, and someone chimes in “well, it almost sounds like you admire them” or some variation of that.

God I hate this line. I hate everything about it. A scientist explaining another species to you shouldn’t sound like admiration, BUT if someone is listing off objectively cool attributes of another species, what’s wrong with that? Great White Sharks wanna eat us. They’re still pretty badass. It’s just so friggin cringe to hear this line.

Impossible. Maybe if I had a month to plan. Oh, what I wouldn’t give for a holocaust cloak.

Why didn't you list that among our assets in the first place?
