- Third time isn’t quite the charm for Agents K and J, but a time travel plot opens up some new possibilities for these otherwise tired jokes and characters, reminding us that aliens can still be fun.
- Sound of My Voice
- Review
- A time travel story with no time travel, Sound of My Voice is intimate science fiction with only one concern: constructing a smart, incredibly acted puzzle for viewers to lose themselves in.

| General Hummel | We'll be branded as traitors, the gravest capital crime, punishable by death. A couple of hundred years ago, a few guys name Washington and Jefferson and Adams were branded as traitors by the British, and now they're called patriots. In time, so shall we. God willing, in 48 hours we shall evacuate this island in gunships under cover of hostages and VX gas warheads. Your destination: a non-extradition treaty country. You will each be paid a fee of $1 million for services rendered, but you can never set foot again on your native soil. Can you live with that? |
| General Hummel | The men of marine force recon are selected to carry out illegal operations throughout the world. When they don't come home, their families are told fairy tales about what happened to them... and denied compensation. Well, I have choked on these lies my entire career. Well here and now, the lies stop! |
| General Hummel | Remember Operation Desert Storm? Those surgical hits made by our smart bombs that were covered so well on CNN? It was my men on the ground that made those hits possible by lazing the targets. 20 of those men were left to rot outside Baghdad after the conflict ended. No benefits were payed to their families. No medals conferred. These men died for their country and they weren't even given a goddamn military burial. This situation is unacceptable. You will transfer $100 million from Grand Cayman Red Sea Trading Company to an account I designate. From these funds, reparations of $1 million will be paid to each of the 83 marines' families. The rest of the funds, I will disperse at my discretion. Do I make myself clear? |
| Stanley Goodspeed | Well, I'm one of those fortunate people who like my job, sir. Got my first chemistry set when I was seven, blew my eyebrows off, we never saw the cat again, been into it ever since. |
| Stanley Goodspeed | Hi, I'm an agent with the federal... FBI... Well, my, I'm Stanley Goodspeed. | |
| John Patrick Mason | But of course you are. | |
| Special Agent Ernest Paxton | At least he got his name right. |
| Paul the Hotel Barber | No scissors, you've got to be kidding me, no scissors. I mean, did they tell Picasso "no brush"? |
| Paul the Hotel Barber | Okay, I don't want to know nothing. I never saw you throw that gentleman off the balcony. All I care about is, are you happy with your haircut? |
| James Womack (FBI Director) | Watch it, you fuckheads! You're going to pull my arm out! |
| John Mason | I'm only borrowing your Hum-Vee! |
| Kid on Motorcycle | Hey man, you just fucked up your Ferrari. | |
| Dr. Stanley Goodspeed | It's not mine. |
| Stanley Goodspeed | Define combat, Sir. | |
| Commander Anderson | Shep? | |
| Lt. Shephard | An incursion underwater to retake an impregnable fortress held by an elite team of U.S. Marines, in possession of 81 hostages and 15 guided rockets armed with VX poison gas. | |
| Stanley Goodspeed | In that case, no sir. Excuse me... |
| John Mason | Welcome to the Rock. |
| Stanley Goodspeed | You enjoying this? | |
| John Mason | Well, it's certainly more enjoyable than my average day... reading philosophy, avoiding gang rape in the washrooms... though, it's less of a problem these days. Maybe I'm losing my sex appeal. |
| John Patrick Mason | "Your best?" Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen. |
| Stanley Goodspeed | You're shooting too close to the rocket! Him, but not the rocket! |
| Stanley Goodspeed | Listen, I'm just a biochemist. Most of the time, I work in a little glass jar and lead a very uneventful life. I drive a Volvo, a beige one. But what I'm dealing with here is one of the most deadly substances the earth has ever known, so what do you say you cut me some FRIGGIN' SLACK? |
| Stanley Goodspeed | "I'd take pleasure in guttin' you, boy. I'll take pleasure in guttin' you... boy!" What is wrong with these people, huh? Mason? Don't you think there's a lot of, uh, a lot of anger flowing around this island? Kind of a pubescent volatility? Don't you think? A lotta angst, a lot of "I'm sixteen, I'm angry at my father" syndrome? I mean, grow up! We're stuck on an island with a bunch of violence-for-pleasure-seeking psycophatic marines. SHAME ON THEM! |
| Stanley Goodspeed | Glass or plastic, GLASS OR PLASTIC? |
| Stanley Goodspeed | [holding VX gas] You know how this shit works? | |
| Captain Darrow | [holding knife] You know how this shit works? |
| Stanley Goodspeed | Listen, I think we got started off on the wrong foot. Stan Goodspeed, FBl. Uh, let's talk music. Do you like the Elton John song, "Rocket Man"? | |
| Captain Darrow | I don't like soft-ass shit! | |
| Stanley Goodspeed | Oh, you - Oh, oh. Oh. Well, I only bring it up because, uh, it's you. You're the Rocket Man. |
| John Mason | How's your bowling arm? |
