TV show quotes
You think it's safe to leave 'em alone?
Worried about him or her?
I'm afraid she might let him escape or something.
Well, she'd have to have a heart to do that.
Don't be fooled 'cause she acts tough. Babes like her are the first ones that go soft when it comes an old boyfriend.
Is that right?
Women are hopeless. They don't work on reason.
[as Faye pushes Whitney into her ship, she aims her gun at Jet and Spike trying to come over]
Stay back! We're leaving! [Jet and Spike stop at their tracks]
She wants the guy instead of the money.
Jet caught him! It's his reward, Faye!
I have some history to work out with this guy, so I claim first rites to him and to the bounty that's on his head!
[dumbfounded] Is it just me, or did that not make any sense?
Just like I said, women don't work on reason.
[sticks a revolver on Jet by the bridge] Caught you redhanded. Littering. That's a 20,000 woolong fine, my friend.
[chuckles] Then I'll need to collect on that loan I gave you with seven years' worth of interest, [offers his hand] and penalty fees. [Fad pats his hand back]
Hey, when did you buy me that cup of coffee? It's way past the statute of limitations. [hurls his revolver back in its holster]
So you still think you're a shooter with an old gun like that? ISSP sure can waste tax money.
On the gun? [Jet holds a cigarette in his mouth]
No, on your salary.
[Jet opens his Hammerhead when Ed is hanging on a hook upside-down]
You came back!
Hm? I'm leaving again. And don't stay there, you're in the way. [Ed drops from the hook, somersaults and lands down on her feet, Ein comes by]
Bring Edward some souvenirs this time. [Ein barks]
[Jet pauses for a beat, turns to Ed]
Edward... if I don't come back, water the bonsai for me, okay?
All right! [starts dancing] Bonsai, bok choy, wise guy, water boy! Lights shine bright in the old town tonight!
[Jet is confronted by Fad after shooting Udai in the head]
Why'd you blast him? [Fad walks to him] Because he was telling the truth? You came here to shut him up for good, didn't you? [Fad stops] Well? No answer? [beat] How about it, partner?!
You brought it on yourself, partner. You just couldn't play the game like everybody else. The people who go against a syndicate lose, Jet. They lose big.
[outside the prison ship, Fad's ship explodes and causes a tremor; Fad holds himself]
Either they give up like you did, or they die young. This is the real world. There's no place for pretty ideals.
And that's why you betrayed me? That's why you lied and took me out here?!
You were the best man. I wanted to team up like back in the old days.
[Fad slowly lifts his revolver and aims it at Jet for a long beat]
Sayonara... partner.
[arguing over empty rations] We haven't had anything to eat in two days! Wouldn't you call that an emergency?!
I want some bell peppers and beef...
We're out of fuel, end of story. If we can just hold out a little longer, our inertia will carry us to Europa.
Stomach's caving in!
If we only we could use that energy to fuel ourselves...
Keep mouthing off like that and I'll toss you out into absolute zero.
At this point, even Ein looks good enough to eat.
Watch it, Spike. I bet you're looking pretty good to him too.
[confronts Domino, Ed and Ein] Hey! Hah! Now don't tell me that you forgotten who I am so soon, [snaps fingers] Domino!
Let's see...
Think, dammit! I'm the youngest Shaft brother! We bought all those mushrooms from you!
Hm... I don't remember you.
No? Do you wanna know why I drag an empty coffin like this wherever I go, huh? Heh-heh... I'll tell you. 'Cause I'm puttin' your corpse inside it!
[his white coffin is suddenly run over by truck; everyone pauses for a beat]
...Pieces, pieces, all gone.
What's what with who? [Shaft is doing an angry expression]
My older brother ate a mushroom that he bought from you and then, he laughed until he twisted his intestines to death!
Happy way to die, I'd say. [Ed starts laughing]
Shut up! The whole thing was your fault!
I call that unjust resentment.
Edward is hungry! [Ein barks, Shaft pulls out a grenade launcher]
Yeah?! Then eat this, fool!
[Spike continues walking up an endless stairway and sees a frog]
Hey, mister. [pause] This here is the stairway to heaven. You know that, don't cha?
...Obnoxious little frog. [continues walking up]
Fine, why should I care? I warned you, though!
[Talking to his bonsai trees] So that's it? The secret to the universe is so simple! By the way, just who am I anyway?
[on a tape] In your time, I'm no longer here. But I am here today, and I'll always be cheering for you right here. Cheering for you, my only self.
Most things get better when I kick them...
[Jet holds a cassette-sized package to Faye on her way back from the horse race]
Pay up. 6300 woolongs.
What? Where did that come from, huh?
Special delivery for you.
Well, I didn't order anything.
It was COD. [Faye grunts] Top it off, there's no return address on it. I had no choice but to accept it and pay your ta— [Faye slowly reaches the handle and shuts the cockpit door] Hmm? Hey, hold on! [Faye flies her ship away from the Bebop deck] Hey, I want my money or else!
[turns away from fishing] She's a busy girl, huh?
[Spike and Jet walk through a submerged corridor to a museum underground]
Tell me again why in the world we're going through all of this?
It's a lesson to remind you that treasure hunts are always trouble.
Treasure hunts? What treasure are we hunting?
Tamatebako, was it?
When he opens the Tamatebako, he turns into an old man. Now I know why.
Even if we turn back now, we wouldn't be any younger.
[Jet stops on his tracks, looks down to see a catfish-like creature suckling on his right leg]
This place is some Ryūgū-jō... [grabs fish off his leg and throws it] Where'd that minx run off to, anyway?
[Jet tries to put the Betamax tape into a VHS player]
What's wrong?
The size...
What about it?
It won't go in. [tries forcing tape in]
Push harder.
But it's... [Ed comes behind them]
Aah, that's the wrong one!
Huh?
You got a VHS.
Huh?
It won't play beta.
Huh?!
[on a tape] Well, knowing me, I'm sure I am troubling a lot of different people.
