"We've got company!" - can we please think of something new?

Asked by stratman37 (8691points) December 21st, 2009

When the bad guys are coming, and the good guys “We’ve got company!” My eyes roll so far back into my head everytime I hear that, I miss a good two minutes of the movie. Why can’t we come up with something new?

Did you order a pizza? I didn’t order a pizza. Are these guys bringing flowers? Who would be sending you flowers?

“Who are those guys?”

Are these guys friends of yours? When did you ever get friends, anyway?

I suggest some Dorothy Parker:

“What fresh hell is this??!”

Because it is acceptable by more people when even a Caveman can understand it.

We are creatures of habit and routine.

GQ. How about:

We’ve got skeeball!
Rabbit in the Hole!
Quick! Put on your pants!
I said No Onions!
Oh great, I know that jackass!
Fluffernutter!

@SirGoofy You are my favourite person for the day.

Those are great parodies, and if you know me, I’d love to rip all day, but seriously what could they use instead of “we’ve got company!”

Or maybe this IS so hard to write that all we can come up with are pithy replies…

In real life, I’d probably think, if not say aloud, “Oh, it’s this fucker again. ::sigh:: Won’t be a moment, sweetie, ‘K?”

@stratman37, context is all. If I’m the villain in a movie and I know the cops are about to bust down the door (but no one else with me knows, and I just want to save my ass) then, “Hey, Bill, see who’s at the door, willya?” while I take a powder out the back door (or the escape hatch, or whatever).

But if we’re on a space ship, that line’s not going to work, is it? Probably.

@Zen_Again – That would be a CM not a PM.
