Not exactly a quote but the names for very high numbers of data always appealed to me:
Giga, tera, peta, exa, zetta, and yottabytes. Which are 10 to the 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24th powers.
Especially Zettabyte which I always thought sounds like a bug.

might do if Klaatu dies, and when pressed, he admits that Gort might destroy the Earth.

Or warns when you are about to come one.
