Wash [as Stegosaurus]: Yes. Yes. This is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it… "This Land."
Wash [as Allosaurus]: I think we should call it "your grave"!
Wash [as Stegosaurus]: Ahh! Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
Wash [as Allosaurus]: Har har har! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die!
[The Allosaurus attacks the Stegosaurus.]
Wash [as Stegosaurus]: Ohhh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

When calculating explosive charges, there are formulas that can be used, for example, P=sqrt(T)*M where P= pounds of explosives, T=Thickness of the door in inches and M=a value for the material used in the construction of the door - steel = about 4.5, solid wood = about 2, hollow core = .75, etc.

There is, however, an alternative equation, which appears to have been adopted by the SWAT team in this case, which is P=Plenty.

They could probably have used less explosives and more backing (such as water or saline bags) and gotten a much more effective breach of the door without risking injury to the entire team.
