The quotes are in the article I linked to, Hutt, you stupid mound of
horsehit. They're encoded as graphics with hypertext links and didn't copy

You constantly demand cites like some kind of half-assed parrot but when
they're provided, you don't even look at them, which is reason number 6,714
that no one plays your stupid "Cite?" game, Hutt, you waxy flesh-colored
dirigible.
