"Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day."
Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.
Context
This line was spoken by Kip Dynamite (played by Aaron Ruell) in Napoleon Dynamite (2004), directed by Jared Hess.
Napoleon Dynamite's older brother Kipling, or Kip, is kind of a total loser. He wants to be a tough cage fighter, but he never hits the gym because he's spending all his time talking to random women on the internet. Kip also runs up quite a bill because he has to pay for his internet use by the minute…even though it's 2004.
And his shut-in lifestyle is really getting on Napoleon's nerves. To fuel his chats with possibly attractive females, he consumes all of the Dynamite family's chips. But Napoleon gets his revenge by playfully slapping him around. Also, how could Kip ever be a cage fighter when he can't even KO a gangly, bespectacled nerd, who happens to have flippin' sweet dance moves?
However, Kip's online activity eventually comes to fruition as he ends up meeting his internet girlfriend, Lafawnduh, in real life. She gives him a super cool makeover, and they end up getting married, complete with the gift of a "wild honeymoon stallion" from Napoleon.
Where you've heard it
This is a go-to excuse for your friend, who is kind of, sort of being anti-social. Hopefully, they find a happy ending like Kip and Lafawnduh and don't get catfished.

Pretentious Factor
If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10.
This is a clever, brushoff line from a hilarious cult movie. Just be careful if you're really chatting with "babes" online.
