Great quote:
"So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for earth has just begun! Temporarily anozinizing our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies. Curses and drat! You have obstructed us for now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will fail! Hail Xenu!!!" -Trey Parker's & Matt Stone's rebuttle to Tom Cruise & Isaac Hayes taking their religion way too seriously!
