Sounds from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure

This is intended to be an ad hoc review of the sounds from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. These are lines, or exchanges, of dialog that I find stick with me, and contribute to my coming back to this film again and again. This presentation is intended only as cinematic criticism (and is therefore fair use under copyright law).

These were all sampled in mono, 8 bits, 11kHz -- for each, I've provided the length in seconds and the size of the .wav file.
