TV show quotes
[in the Candy Kingdom hospital, Finn sees a comatose Susan hooked up on life support. He takes a deep breath and sighs]
I'm sorry I couldn't stop you earlier. I lost control. And I realized when my arm went all nasty, that being out-of-control like that was so scary a-and painful. And that's how you must've felt after your brain jazz got fried by that eel, and you went bonkers on everyone. I wasn't strong enough to stop you. [crosses fingers with his metal ones] In a way, this is all my fault.
[doing doctoring duties] Okay, where's the next patient?
In here, Doctor. [Finn pulls the curtains to see Ice King lying down on a hospital table]
Hey, baby... what?! Where's Doctor Princess? I just wanted some TLC from a cute gal. [Finn takes out his pen and clipboard]
So, uh... how's your, uh... general condition?
My back is in agony like always, [Finn nods nonchalantly] my toes taste like candy corn, is that bad? And everything smells like liquorice, [Finn jumps up high and lands behind Ice King] expect for liquorice which smells like— [Finn grabs Ice King's shoulder and bottom; breaks his back in half] Ahh!! [he gets uneven, Finn comes over]
How do you feel, Ice King?
I... feel... great! Ohh, mama! [flies up doing a loop] I feel 500 years old again! [laughing happily] Hey, we should hit the town! Go dancing... [Finn looks himself in the mirror]
[thinking] "Doctor Finn... this feels pretty right."
[sees Tree Trunks in bed] Hey, where'd you go?
I-I think I was visited by aliens again. Uh, every few years, they stop by and show me my hybrid children.
[chuckles] What?
Don't be jealous of my alien consorts, Mr. Pig. I love you the most.
Haha... all right, sweetie. Thank you. [they both kiss, goes to pull lamp cord] You're gonna come with me to Princess Bubblegum's firework show tomorrow?
No, she whizzed on our wedding. I'm sorry, but she's a fat fish in the sand.
I want to see free fireworks, though, and I want you to come with me.
Ah, all right. [spanks Mr. Pig squealing]
[Bubblegum and Tree Trunks walk along in the evening grass after being abducted by aliens]
I'm really sorry, Tree Trunks. I never meant to hurt anybody with my space program. It was supposed to seed new Candy Kingdoms on uninhabited planets, in case Ooo goes straight-up dong-bongles. 'Cause... like, confidentially, there's a lot of ways that could happen. And when it does, maybe I won't look so crazy after all, you know? [Tree Trunks looks up at the alien spheres in the sky]
I can help you find a space for your goo. [Bubblegum turns to Tree Trunks]
You would do that?
You and I will never be friends, but we can respect each other as mothers and as fellow believers in the infinite promise of the cosmos above.
..Sure.
[Finn looks back at an empty and emotionally traumatised James Baxter as he makes herbal tea]
Oh my Glob... James Baxter is in my house! [Shelby pops out of teapot]
Hey, Finn, you... you look a little nervous.
That's James Baxter out there! He's an artist! What if I say something dumb and he's like, "Man, that dude is so dumb, why am I even here"?
Just treat him like a normal guy. That's what people want, even great artists.
Okay, yeah. [walks off] Normal, normal.
[Finn brings the teapot, a water bucket and towel to James Baxter, places them down on the floor. He dips towel in the bucket, twists towel and pats it on James Baxter's head. Finn sees James Baxter's empty stare for a long pause]
Normal, normal. [tries a deep voice] So, uh, you got any weekend plans? Doin' anything fun for the weekend? [dips towel in bucket]
You're really bad at this, man.
[tends to James Baxter] Want some soup? I made it out of ice cream sandwich.
[Shelby slithers on Finn's head]
You're still being weird.
Well, what am I supposed to do?
You gotta slap him, dude.
Wha?
Slap him with some real time.
Oh...
Stab him.
What?!
With a giant syringe.
Wha—?!
Of respect.
Ohh...
Finn, I get the sense that this trip's more important to you than your letting on. I mean, if you make it to that island, you might find out some pretty heavy stuff... about the humans, and where you came from, about yourself. Alls I'm saying is you have to promise me, promise me, that you'll come home safe.
[in his mind before advancing the giant hovercraft] You got this, Finn Mertens. You're a buff little bionic baby.
We don't need a boat! Have you forgotten? With a little imagination, [morphs himself as a sailing cruise ship] I can be anything that you could everrrr... [he morphs back to normal] Oh, I lost focus. Hey, yeah, can we borrow your boat?
[Finn is sitting on the rooftop of the Tree Fort, drinking his cup under an orange sky]
Are ya up here, Fern? [Fern emerges up the grassy roof, sits beside Finn]
Hey. Thanks for letting me crash on the roof. It's nice up here.
Stay as long as you want. I came up here to ask a favor. I... might be gone for a while on this trip, see, and I need someone to... uh, cover for me here anew. [Fern pauses for a beat]
Are you sure? I mean, hero biz is your whole thing... and whatever I am, I'm not you.
You can just do your own thing with it. Like... if some huge gross monster's gonna do murder on a bunch of innocents, uh... kill it! But kill it you-styles. Just don't go nuts.
Okay. [summons his grass sword, curls back into his arm] I can handle that. Thanks for trusting me.
No, thank you, Fern. I better go pack.
[they both high-five, then Finn slaps Fern's hand awkwardly and touches his face; Fern grabs Finn's arm. He grumbles]
We should figure out a better thing. / Let's figure out something better.
[on the sea as a boat] Finn, I wanna turn back.
What? We can't!
An annoying dragon wrecked our boat, I got poisoned by jellyfish and saw our dead parents. I don't see things de-escalating.
It's just a small bump. A-a bunch of small bumps.
No dumb island can be worth the risk!
Maybe not. But I can't turn back.
This trip means a lot to you, huh?
Yeah.
Yeah, but why? Do you wanna find some humans and ditch us?
No! It's just... uh... [covers his mouth, starts crying] Okay... look... I'm really happy in Ooo. I love our mom and dad. But I don't know squat about humans. If I don't see this through, part of me will always be stuck to that boom boom leaf where Mom found me... still alone.
[wearing seed packets around his face] Now I can look like an idiot while I freeze to death.
[encounters a giant bear] Giant bear? Come on! I fought the Lich at the edge of spacetime, man. You're out of your depth. You best just roll on, brah.
[Finn and Alva ride on the giant bear to see Jake fighting a giant crab on the shore]
Jake! Hey, Jake!
Oh, hey, buddy! Man, am I glad to see you. Hold on a second. [kicks giant crab away, turns to Finn, Alva and the giant bear] Man, this place sucks. I got attacked by nineteen giant crabs in just the last 30 seconds!
Yeah, man. I almost got eaten by this—
Hey, that's awesome! Now let's get the heck outta here. Are they coming, too? I'm not sharing my rations.
What? No, this is Alva. I... I-I think she's human. [starts drawing down his notebook] Alva, have you seen my friends? BMO... and Susan?
[he shows his crude illustrations of BMO and Susan to Alva; she slowly shakes her head]
Oh, stuff, man. That's the slow shake. That's the universal death gesture!
Nej, nej! [as she speaks in Swedish, she begins drawing wave lines, a shape and a compass. She waves her arm and draws three more that are shaped like islands]
Oh! Shoot, man, more islands. BMO and Susan must've washed all up on one of all up of them.
Well, it looks like there's only three more. This shouldn't be too hard. [long pause] Right?
[entering the virtual reality world named "Better Reality"] Oh, wow. This place is objectively interesting.
