TV show quotes
Talk about the bottom of the food chain. Bounty hunters must be the lowest form of life there is.
You think so?
I know so. Human beings are just a price tag to them. They live by gambling on other peoples' lives.
Yeah? Well, that may be.
So have a seat. The drinks are on me.
[Spike and Faye hitchhike inside V.T.'s Heavy Metal Queen tanker ship, with loud heavy metal music playing in the background]
[shouting] How many times do I have to tell you the same thing?! Short, bald with glasses and Saraswati—
[shouting] Huh?! What're you saying?!
I JUST SAID IT! OH! Can you please turn down that repulsive music?!
I don't think so. "When in Rome, do as the Romans do".
Huh?
And it's not repulsive, it's very soothing. It's called heavy metal, by the way.
[Jet's repairs to Faye's ship still aren't done]
It's so ugly... and pieces of it are still broken!
[mutters] Too bad it wasn't your mouth that was broken.
I heard that.
[Spike goes outside to find his ship has been vandalized]
Ack! My ship!
Yeah, it was trashed by those three guys. I think they were called the "Something Brothers".
You were watching?
Uh-huh!
Then Muriel, why didn't you tell me about it?
But I did tell you. I told you just now!
[after escaping the exploding Linus mining satellite]
Thanks for the help, Victoria Terpsichore. [V.T. is stunned] And give your husband my thanks, too. I figured out who you were because of this. [gives pocket watch to V.T.] Of course, everyone's heard about him... the legendary bounty hunter Terpsichore, and wife. [V.T. gives a moment of silence]
I won't be able to give him your thanks for a while. I'm afraid he's doing all his bounty hunting up in Heaven these days.
I see. [V.T. gives the wad of bills to Spike, he takes back his thousand woolong note] The rest is for your husband. I'm sure he's got a hangover up there. [V.T. gasps in surprise] Treat him to a prairie oyster on me.
Come on, can't you show a little mercy and compassion?
'Fraid I'm fresh outta that stuff.
[Spike gives a third of the bounty to Faye]
That's all you're gonna get, Faye.
I know... don't sweat it.
Depositing it at the casino again?
It's a lot more fun than the bank.
Girl never gives up...
How did you do that?
You're tense, I'm calm. You apply excessive force, I control that force through fluid motion. That means relaxing the whole body so that it could react instantly without resistance. You know, without thought. Do you see now? It means becoming like clear water.
Water?
Right. Water can take any form. It drifts without effort one moment then pounds down in a torrent the very next.
Everyone says bad things about him... And he seems to hang out with some bad people... But Rocco is a good person.
I might be one of those bad people he hangs out with.
Maybe. Guess you could be one, but if you are, you’re very different. I can feel these things. Both you and Rocco have something beautiful inside you. It’s hard for most people to see it, but it’s there. I know it is, that’s why I’m sharing my tea with you.
Something beautiful, huh? I’m afraid that… afraid that I lost that a long time ago.
I... I never got to see Roco once with my own eyes...Hey, what was Rocco like?
You know without looking, right? He was a great guy. Exactly the person you thought he was.
I'm gonna have to pass this time.
You're leaving me alone with her?
Yeah, what's the problem? She's all gung-ho about this thing, y'know.
I'm not the type to be led around by a woman.
Then you'll have to lead her around.
I'm even less the type to do that.
Hackers are nerdy, pasty, tubby little geeks with triple-thick glasses, and this one is probably a demented otaku with smelly feet, so catching him will be a breeze.
Is that right? And what do you know about hackers, anyway? It might've been like that when you were young, but that was a long time ago.
What are you trying to say, Jet? That I'm starting to get old like you?
Well, you can't tell a woman's age by looking—oww! [Faye rams her heel into his foot]
And you can't tell what a woman will DO by looking, so you'll have to be very careful.
Same with a snake!
[chuckles] You two make a lovely couple.
I'm waiting!
Ed will introduce Ed's full name - Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV.
That's a long name.
Who the hell's this?
Ed made up that name for Ed, isn't it cool?
If you made it up, how can you be the 4th?
[describing Edward from conflicting interviews] Radical Edward's profile: He's a 7 foot tall ex-basketball pro Hindu guru drag queen alien.
Jet, do you know that there are three things that I particularly hate?
Really?
Kids, animals, and women with attitudes. So tell me, Jet... WHY DO WE HAVE ALL THREE OF THEM NEATLY GATHERED IN OUR SHIP!?!?
