	From the Rumors department:

	Rumor has it that imported Glock pistols have had problems with
	the front/rear sight(s) blowing off after a few hundred rounds.
	At least one person I heard from mentioned an errant glock which
	had gone full auto.  The fact that both the Glock and the Aug
	are used by the Austrian army doesn't impress me much, after all,
	our army fought and used the M16.  Besides, when was the last time
	you heard of the Austrian army in a war?

    Glover (upon discovering that Gibson is his new partner):
	"God hates me, that's what the problem is!"

    Gibson (blowing cigarette smoke out his nose):
	"Hate 'em back, it works for me!"

    Gibson (later in the film, with handgun):
	"PUNTA, PUNTA, PUNTA!!"
