Piccolo quotes from Dragon Ball Z

Piccolo

I'm going to enjoy this.

Hmm. I don't think you know what you're getting yourself into by challenging me. Just give up. Really, you can't win.

He beat me. How? Just how could he beat me? I must've miscalculated somewhere.

Piccolo

Stay down.

Are you ready to begin again?

Piccolo

Yes, of course.

I have enjoyed this game. I'd love to stay but I must find Goku and deal with him.

Piccolo

Then stop talkin' and start fighting!

It's a shame that you insist on getting in our way. Our mission has nothing to do with you. It's Goku that we're after. Terminating your life is not something that we wish to do. It doesn't make sense for you to die out here in the middle of nowhere when we have no interest in killing you. Why don't you just tell us where Goku is and then leave unharmed. It's the only logical thing to do.

Piccolo

Well, soon you'll realize that the people on this planet aren't logical at all. Funny thing is, they've rubbed off on me.

Fine. I'll make you tell us where he is. Now, how's that sound? Bad move, but at least you're not boring. After all, I'd rather enjoy not adhering to logic.

You can't keep this up. You'll tire out.

Piccolo

And you're not perfect. You'll make a mistake before that happens.

You're just a flesh and bone creation.

Cell

What's wrong? You're frightened? Don't be ashamed. It's hard, I know. You feel my power and it's hard to bear. Hah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Piccolo

What do you mean? It's not your power! You stole it by taking the lives of innocent people.

Cell

What? Fool. Stole it? They're part of greatness now. I've given them all a purpose.

Piccolo

You're nuts.

[after Piccolo saves Android 17 from Cell] Thank you Piccolo. That was close. So what's the deal? You said this creature's here to kill us?

Piccolo

His name is Cell. He was spawned by Dr. Gero's computer and he came here to absorb the two of you. If he succeeds, and he's able to integrate you and Android 18 into his being, his evolution will be complete.

Android 18

What a creep.

Cell

Rejoice my brother and sister. The three of us are like pieces to a puzzle, designed and destined to fit together and form one whole. Unite with me and fulfill Dr. Gero's dream to create the ultimate warrior.

It's a nice offer but no thanks. Besides, it seems a little crowded in there already. I don't need you. This is what I am.

Cell

It doesn't matter what you think you are. You are part of me and I am going to absorb you.

Vegeta

I will take care of everything now. There is no need to attempt the training, Kakarot, because I'm sure you will not survive it. Besides, I guarantee that I won't be needing any of you to help me take care of the androids.

Tien

You fool!

Piccolo

Listen, I don't know how powerful you think you are, but you're underestimating our enemies.

Vegeta

Heh heh heh heh heh heh.

Tien

While you were in that room, Cell swallowed up Android 17 and transformed, so don't try to tell us you can handle it. You don't even know what you're up against.

[about Saiyan combat armor] Hey, aren't you going to wear yours?

Piccolo

I am a Namek, not a Saiyan. And I'm not going to dress like one.

Tien

That's right. I refuse to wear the same suit as Vegeta! Not after all of the horrible things he's done.

Tien

Vegeta can't beat Cell alone.

Piccolo

Let him try. He's determined to prove himself to all of us. Vegeta, it's your turn. Now show us what a pure blooded Saiyan can really do.

Tien

What's the matter? You seem to be worried about something, but at least we're winning, right?

Piccolo

It's Vegeta who's winning Tien, not us.

Tien

Yeah, I guess I know what you mean. I have a hard time trusting in Vegeta as well.

So that's it. A tournament, huh? I gotta say, it sounds interesting.

Piccolo

What? Interesting?

Piccolo, can I have a new outfit just like yours? You were my first teacher.

Piccolo

Yeah kid. It'll make you look really sharp.

Oh wow, Piccolo. You've been doing some training in the hyperbolic time chamber, haven't you?

Piccolo

That's right.

I can really tell. You're strong. A lot more powerful than before.

Piccolo

Why don't you just say it? I'm stronger but you still don't think I can beat Cell.

Nope. Don't stand a chance.

Piccolo

Thanks. You've always been the honest one.

Trunks

Gohan, did your father tell you anything?

Eh?

Trunks

We've all heard Goku say that Cell is stronger than he is and that Cell has no weaknesses. So why is he acting so cheerful?

I've asked my dad and he hasn't told me anything. All he says is "don't worry."

Trunks

Don't worry...!?

Krillin

I don't know. I mean, if that's what he said, maybe he really does have some plan to defeat Cell.

Piccolo

Or maybe he's in denial.
