A scene from Dogma 1999
Metatron

I am to charge you with a holy crusade.

Bethany

For the record, I work in an abortion clinic.

Metatron

Noah was a drunk, and look what he accomplished- and no one's asking you to build an ark. All you've got to do is go to New Jersey, and visit a small church on a very important day.

Bethany

New Jersey?

Metatron

Mmm-hmm. (drinks a shot of tequila and spits it out into an empty glass)

Bethany

That doesn't sound like much of a crusade.

Metatron

Aside from the fine print, that's it.

Bethany

What's the fine print?

Metatron

(quickly and quietly into his next shot)

Stop a couple of angels from entering and thus negating all existence. (takes the shot)

Bethany

Whoa, wait, what?

Metatron

(more clearly)

Stop a couple of angels from entering and thus - Negating - All - Existence; I hate it when people need it spelled out for them.
