- With a shaking 4-d camera in inventory:
You've already got a camera with a monster in it. You should probably deal with that one before you take another one.

References
- "[T]he things it takes pictures of come true" is a reference to "Say Cheese and Die!"
- Alternately, this could be a parody of a more-famous episode of The Twilight Zone entitled A Most Unusual Camera.
- "Shake, rattle and roll" is a reference to the NES game Snake Rattle 'n' Roll which was one of the first to use a 3-D environment, and which name was in turn based on the classic rock and roll song Shake, Rattle and Roll first written by Big Joe Turner and later made famous by Bill Haley & His Comets.
- "4-D" is a somewhat-common way of referring to video, in this case alluding to the fact that the picture not only includes three dimensions instead of two, but also is a picture of something that is still moving.
