"Hey, Napoleon. What did you do last summer again?""I told you! I spent it with my uncle in Alaska hunting wolverines!""Did you shoot any?""Yes, like 50 of 'em! They kept trying to attack my cousins, what the heck would you do in a situation like that?""What kind of gun did you use?""A freakin' 12-gauge, what do you think?"I find Napoleon Dynamite to be one of the most entertaining movies about basically nothing, ever.
