Vegeta quotes from Dragon Ball Z

You put my dad down right now!

Vegeta

Ha ha. Oh no...it's you. Please don't hurt me. I'll do anything you say. I'll put your father down if you want, it might be one piece at a time, but I'll definitely put him down. Ha ha ha ha. Now, which piece would you like first?

You better not hurt him!

Vegeta

It's a little too late for that...ha ha ha ha!

Krillin

[about Vegeta] He looks finished alright. I guess that blast really did 'im in. Good thing 'cause he was bad to the core. At least now, we won't have to look at his ugly face anymore.

Vegeta

[opens his eye] Who's face is ugly!?

Vegeta

[about Gohan] I can't allow this brat to transform. Not today!

Leave him alone!

Vegeta

What!?

Yah! [Yajirobe runs at Vegeta and swipes his sword at Vegeta's back]

Vegeta

Ah! You cut through my armor!

Vegeta

[Vegeta stands back up] What was that, tubby?

Uh...wait a minute...hey, hold on! I was...I was just kidding about the whole dirtbag thing. You really thought I was trying to hurt you, didn't you? Ha ha, that's funny. I was just messing around with you. [Vegeta kicks Yajirobe in the face, sending him sprawling in the air] No, wait. Listen. I don't think you understand. [Vegeta punches Yajirobe hard, sending him through a boulder] That hurt...

Krillin

Eya! [Krillin almost pierces Vegeta with the sword]

Stop! Don't do it.

Krillin

Goku, is that you? We have got to stop this guy while we have the chance. He's...he's pure evil.

No, listen. Just let him go Krillin. Show him what it means to be merciful.

Krillin

Merciful!? But Goku, he's-

I know what you must be thinking, but believe me, I know what I'm doing.

Krillin

This is the guy that threatened all the people here on Earth. Surely, he'll try to come back and destroy us again. I just don't think it's a good idea to let him escape now that we have a chance to stop him for good.

By doing this, we're showing him that there is another way, a better way.

Krillin

Goku, I don't think this is the kind o' guy that can learn a lesson like that. He'll just think we're weak. It won't change him at all.

Don't be so sure about that Krillin. It wouldn't be the first time something like that happened. Think about it. When Piccolo first came to us, he was just as evil as his father had been. He nearly destroyed not only me, but the entire planet. And now...

Krillin

And now he's one of us.

Right. And if someone as evil as Piccolo can change, I think anyone can. Vegeta deserves to have that same chance. And by showing him that the people of this planet have compassion and can show mercy, maybe he can learn to show some of his own. Piccolo learned. And now he's not only a powerful ally, he's also a good friend. He even took care of Gohan while I was gone and traded his own life to protect him. Who know, Vegeta might do the same thing for one of us someday.

Krillin

Grrr....

Krillin, please. I know this is the right thing to do. You've got to trust me.

Krillin

But the Saiyans killed Yamcha...and Tien. Chiaotzu! I can't let him get away.

Don't do it Krillin. I know it seems like justice, but it's not right. If you strike him down, it will only show that we aren't any better than he is. It means that they've won, no matter what. He's strong....don't forget Krillin, I am a Saiyan, just like he is. [Krillin drops the sword] Thanks Krillin, that took a lot of strength and courage. I'm proud of you.

Krillin

Goku, I sure hope you're right about all of this. I'd hate to think of what might happen if he comes back to try this again. But if he does, we'll be ready for 'im and we'll stop 'im again.

You bet.

[to himself, from afar] I hope Goku knows what he's doing. I sure wouldn't want for Earth to have to face that evil again.

Krillin

Uh?

Vegeta

[to Krillin] When I come back to this planet, you're all going to suffer. And when you beg me for mercy, I'll stare into your eyes as I crush the life out of you! [Vegeta leaves in his pod]

Well, Vegeta. I hear you took quite a beating recently. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. You couldn't even take over one measly planet. And if all the rumors are true, which I'm sure they are, you couldn't beat a third class Saiyan.

Vegeta

Drop it Cui. I don't have time to waste gossiping with half-wits like you.

Just a minute. [Cui puts his hand on Vegeta's shoulder] The word is that Frieza isn't too happy with you and your attitude Vegeta.

Vegeta

Ha ha ha. Just let Frieza try to do something about it.

Eh...uh...eh...

Vegeta

Now get your hand off me.

Your mouth is big, but I think you're biting off more than you could chew. You don't know what you're up against Vegeta. Nobody has survived a fight with Frieza.

Vegeta

Hm.

You just don't seem to get it, do you? Let me put it plainly...Frieza is utterly indestructible.

Vegeta

Enough. Now tell me where Frieza has run off to hide.

Hm. The planet Namek.

Vegeta

[to himself] What? But how could he know? If I don't beat him to the dragonballs, then I'll never be able to defeat him.

Why don't you do the smart thing and just give up because you will never get those dragonballs. Believe me, Vegeta. Frieza will most certainly find them first, and when he does, we'll destroy the planet Namek.

Vegeta

Huh! I can't give up. Ha. [Vegeta runs off]

Wait, Vegeta!

Vegeta?

Vegeta

Wha...wait, on second thought I think I'll be needing this doctor! [Vegeta snatches his scouter back and runs off to his pod]

Vegeta!

Vegeta

[in his pod] Alright, Frieza! I'm coming for you!

Vegeta

My time on Earth was good for teaching me some brand new techniques!

Yeah, right. Let me guess, you learned how to run away.

Dodoria

You! Vegeta!

Vegeta

It's been a long time Dodoria. How are you?

Dodoria

I should've known. Shooting people in the back always was your style.

Vegeta

Careful now. We're all alone. Frieza and Zarbon aren't here to back you up. I'd watch what I said, if I were you.

Dodoria

Grr...

Vegeta

Then again, I suppose it doesn't matter. I'm still going to kill you either way. Ha ha ha ha.

Dodoria

You! You Saiyan trash! It's about time I taught you some respect!

Dodoria

So now I've told you the whole truth about your home planet, and since I've lived up to my end of the bargain, I'll be on my way.

Vegeta

You're not going anywhere.

Dodoria

Wait a second!

Vegeta

You will pay for your part in this, just as Frieza soon will. But I want you to know: I do this not for my planet, not for my race, but because you thought you could make the prince of Saiyans a slave to your whims!

It's an invader.

What does he want?

Vegeta

Which one of you is the Elder? I'm here for the dragonball. If you have it, get it.

How rude!

I am the Elder. Now I must ask, what use do you have for the dragonball?

Vegeta

That's my business old man! Where is it?

I'm sorry. But I cannot give you what you are seeking. Only those who are worthy may claim the dragonball.

Vegeta

Wrong answer. Bang! [Vegeta does a finger blast at the Elder]

Vegeta

We finally meet again Zarbon. What a surprise. I've already disposed of that useless Dodoria. Now I plan to do the same thing to you.

Zarbon

What? There's no way you beat Dodoria by yourself.

Vegeta

Aha ha ha ha ha...whatever you say Zarbon.

Zarbon

I say you're lying.

Vegeta

It's easy enough to prove. If you don't believe me, why don't you try me for yourself.

Zarbon

You're a fool. You should know better than to disobey Frieza.

Vegeta

Yes, so I've heard. But unlike you, I've never been suited to the life of a mindless follower. I'm through taking orders. I'm through cowering before Frieza like a dog. And I intend to see him grovel at my feet as soon as I've made my wish.

Zarbon

You mean with the dragonballs...

Vegeta

The winds of change are blowing Zarbon. Soon the power of immortality will be mine. And with it, I will rule this galaxy forever.

Zarbon

You're dreaming. Frieza already has five dragonballs. It won't take us long to find the rest.

Vegeta

Please, you're blind without your scouters. That's a liability I don't share. My powers have improved in more ways than you can ever imagine.

Zarbon

Aha ha ha ha ha ha...so you've learned some new tricks then, it doesn't change a thing. What makes you think your abilities even hold a candle to Frieza's?

Vegeta

I'd say you already know the answer to that question. Dodoria did too. And before he died, he told me everything. Frieza fears the Saiyans, which means he's afraid of me.

Zarbon

Don't flatter yourself. What Frieza feared was the entire Saiyan race rising up against him. All alone you're no threat to anyone.

Vegeta

Well, we'll see.

Zarbon

[softly] Heh heh heh...

Vegeta

So, I'm not strong enough to beat you, huh? Funny, because that's what I thought I was doing. Oh, wait, unless you're trying to tell me you've been holding back.

Zarbon

That's right. You've figured it out. I knew you would.

Vegeta

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha! You crack me up! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Zarbon

Go ahead. Laugh if you want. I'm about to wipe that stupid smile right off your face!

Vegeta

Heh!

Zarbon

It's time I showed you my true power, so watch closely. This isn't something I like to do very often. You ever hear the saying beauty is only skin deep? Well, right now, you're only seeing the beauty.

Vegeta

Is that so? Well, pardon me if I hadn't noticed. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! What are you going to do? Start making faces at me and hope you scare me away. It's hopeless.

Zarbon

Now, you're being much to hasty Vegeta. Patience. You don't want to spoil the surprise. And it's a good one.

Vegeta

Let's see it!

Zarbon

Alright then. So be it. But consider yourself warned. [Zarbon transforms into his demonic reptilian form] Aah!

Vegeta

Huh! What the!?

Zarbon

Grrrr.... As I said, you only saw the beauty side of me before, now with great pleasure, I introduce you to the beast! [Zarbon begins to pummel Vegeta]

Vegeta

[barely moving after the beating Zarbon gave him] I won't die like this. The dragonballs are mine. [Zarbon flies right in front of Vegeta's battered body on the ground, locating him once more]

Zarbon

Hm...well well. So you're still alive after all. Lucky for me. But then, I guess it's not such a lucky thing for you now, is it? I'm going to have so much fun making you talk. [Zarbon pulls Vegeta back up by his arm and flies off with him, taking him back to the rejuvenation chamber for questioning]

Vegeta

[to Krillin and Bulma] Well, the surprises just don't stop, do they? I've found a couple of Earthlings far from home with no one around to save them! And it appears that you have just what I'm looking for. [about Krillin's dragonball] Hand over the dragonball or die! Come on! Don't do anything stupid! Just hand it over! And I wouldn't intend to escape with it either, because if you tried something like that, the sniveling girl behind you would suffer the consequences. Now hand over that ball. [Zarbon arrives] Looks like we have company.

Zarbon

[softly] Ha ha ha ha ha ha...

[about Zarbon] Wow! He's cute! I'll bet with his brawny good looks, he's come here to rescue me!

Krillin

Not even close.

Zarbon

Vegeta, did you really think that you could escape me for long?

Vegeta

Heh...

Zarbon

Ah, another dragonball. How nice of you to track it down for me. Don't tell me you've joined forces with them...

[to Zarbon] Yoo hoo! Ha ha! Thank you for coming to rescue me!

Vegeta

[about Bulma] Ha ha. Idiot.

Zarbon

Those two don't concern me. All I want to know is what you did with the rest of the dragonballs. You can either tell me or you can tell Frieza, your choice.

Vegeta

Try to make me talk.

Zarbon

[softly] Aha ha ha ha ha ha. With pleasure.

Vegeta

Well, get on with your little transformation then.

Zarbon

Eh...

Vegeta

You know perfectly well that you can't possibly defeat me unless you change into that hideous creature.

Zarbon

Alright, now you've done it! No one insults me like that, Vegeta! For someone who looks like you, you have no right to call me hideous! I'd kill you where you stand but Frieza wants me to take you alive. Consider yourself lucky.

Vegeta

Ha. The only thing I'm going to consider is how much pain I make you endure...before I end your pathetic little life. Come on, lets go, ugly! [The battle between Zarbon and Vegeta begins]

[about Zarbon] My hero!

Krillin

Bulma...
