In the movie Role Model ( a guilty
pleasure I must admit) one of the characters -in an altered
state of mind- tells his friend in a very earnest voice "
dinosaurs are not dead. THey are birds, man.
Birds are dinosaurs. Its beautiful" .
Could be wrong about the wording, but its something to that
effect.

In an episode of the Canadian sitcom Corner Gas, one
of the characters asked
if the other had heard of recent discoveries that
small bodied dinosaurs had
feathers, and the other said something to the effect
of "I've organized my
whole life around it."
Amusingly, I know plenty of people for whom that
wouldn't be a sarcastic
statement... :-)
In a past episode Tracy is asked by Kenneth to
take care of
his pet bird and Tracy responds that since birds
are
dinosaurs doing so would not only be cool but
brave...or
something along those lines.
