You know what I meant. Now you're just being pedantic. I'm saying your paraphrasing of either quote seemed more like Duke's version... which is a good thing I think because Duke's is punchier.
They Live version, word for word: I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... And I'm all out of bubblegum.
What Sterben said: He is kicking ass and chewing bubble gum and he's all out of gum.
My correction of him: He came to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and he's all out of bubblegum.
Duke Nukem version: It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I'm all out of gum.
And now, together, for comparison:
- I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... And I'm all out of bubblegum.
- He is kicking ass and chewing bubble gum and he's all out of gum.
- He came to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and he's all out of bubblegum.
- It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I'm all out of gum.
