One from Red Dwarf and the Season 6 episode Rimmerworld; this conversation taking place after Arnold Rimmer (the crew member everyone onboard hates) has jumped into an escape pod and is rocketing away too fast for the rest of his team to catch up to him in their ship:
Kryten: "We could slow Mr Rimmer's escape pod down with a blast from the laser cannons."
Cat: "Form an orderly queue behind the gun sight!"
This show had some funny episodes. The theme song still makes me laugh.
This sounds like an alternste Rick from Rick and Morty.“All right," said Susan. "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... "fantasies" to make life bearable?"
REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.
"Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—"
YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.
"So we can believe the big ones?"
YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.
"They're not the same at all!"
YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.
"Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point—"
MY POINT EXACTLY.”
- The Hogfather, Terry Pratchett
