"I'm gonna solve world hunger by feeding..."

"The hungry?

"...this singular dragon that I found!!"

And then it still manages to work.

Remember in The Matrix, where the machines use people as a power source? It's nonsense, you have to feed them for them to produce any kind of energy output and it's going to be less energy than you put in.

(Originally, they were using human brains as processing units, which makes more sense but execs thought audiences wouldn't understand. So it was changed to nonsense.)
