Tien quotes from Dragon Ball Z

Did you see that? He squashed 'im like a bug! [Android 17 moves his finger, calling for Krillin]

A1Android 17

Ahem.

Vegeta, I think he wants to talk to you.

A1Android 17

You with the shiny head, come here.

You talkin' ta me?

A1Android 17

Uhuh.

Yah! No way! Not me!

A1Android 17

Heh heh heh heh.

Don't be a coward. Go on. Fight him.

All by myself? Come on guys, we're in this together. I'd like to keep my head on my shoulders.

Tien

Don't worry about it. I've got you covered Krillin.

[Krillin steps forward with fear and Android 17 steps up] Uh!?

A1Android 17

Heh heh heh heh... [Android 17 walks away and Krillin sighs with relief]

It looks like he took pity on you, loser. That's too bad. You're so pathetic! Now he knows you're scared! Next time, he won't show you any mercy at all!

What?

I remember Master Roshi telling me something long ago. He said that if Kami and Piccolo hadn't split into two, they'd be the strongest being in the entire universe. Hello? Get it? The reason Piccolo has gone to Kami's place is so that he can join with him again.

Tien

Uh...really?

If those two unite again into one being, they'll become the ultimate Namek warrior. And Piccolo is stronger than he's ever been before, so together they'll be an unstoppable force! Look. You know what a Super Saiyan is. Piccolo and Kami will become a Super Namek!

CCChi-Chi

Hey, telephone guys! Collect call. It's Bulma.

Don't accept.

CCChi-Chi

Oh come on guys. It's urgent. She's figured out a way to disable the androids.

MRMaster Roshi

What!? Accept the charges!

[same time] Accept the charges!

Tien

[same time] Accept the charges!

[same time] Accept the charges!

BBulma

I heard all that! Well I guess I'll still let you guys use the remote I invented that disables the androids circuits but only if mister loudmouth "don't accept the charges" Yamcha agrees to give yours truly a foot massage.

Gosh, I don't know Bulma.

BBulma

Well, that's the deal so you can take it, or leave it.

She knows that I can't stand rubbing her feet!

Cell

You fool! You've seen! You're no match for me!

Tien

I might just be a pothole in the road to you big guy, but it's going to be one heck of a deep pothole!

View quote →

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!

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

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.

BBulma

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

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.

View quote →

Tien

Vegeta can't beat Cell alone.

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.

View quote →

Tien

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

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.

[after Trunks suggests that Goku take a senzu bean] We will wait.

We'll wait for what? He needs a senzu bean!

Quiet, boy! Where is your honor!? Like all pure-blooded Saiyans, Kakarot would rather die fighting than win with one of those disgraceful senzu beans as his crutch! Kakarot trained in the hyperbolic time chamber just as we did! Now let's see what he can do!

No, we can't. Goku doesn't have the strength. Don't you see what will happen if he keeps going like this?

If this goes on...then he will die.

Uh!

Tien

Uh!

Uh!

But, that will be his decision. It is painfully clear at this point that no one among this group is stronger than Kakarot is. Not even myself. So he deserves to have the fight of a true warrior. And that means...to the death!

While we all just stand here and watch? I won't be part of it!

Aren't you the one who has never stopped talking about how great a hero Kakarot is? If you have so much faith in him, then wait and see what he will do.

Cell

[to Gohan] Ten more seconds and the Earth will be gone. I guess we'll call this game a draw!

GGoku

[Cell is about to explode] Hey, you put up a good fight, Gohan. I'm proud of you.

What? Daddy?

GGoku

Take care of your mother for me. She needs you. Tell her that I had to do this, Gohan.

Ah!

Goodbye, my son.

Goku!

No! Don't! [Goku uses his instant transmission to teleport the exploding Cell away from Earth]

No! Come back!

Goku!

Uh!

Ah!

Uh!

Ah!

Tien

Uh!

KKKing Kai

[Goku teleports to King Kai's planet with the exploding Cell] Aah! Goku! What have you done? Are you out of your mind?

GGoku

Sorry guys. This is the only place I could think to bring him.

KKKing Kai

Well, you could've called first!

Cell

Aah! Aah! [Cell explodes, killing Goku, King Kai, Bubbles, and Gregory along with him]

[to Android 18] You should thank Krillin, 18. He stayed at your side the whole time. After Cell spat you out.

[shy] Uh...ah...well, it was nothing really. I mean, I enjoyed it. I mean, I couldn't leave you there.

I got it!

Uh!

Krillin! You have a crush on Android 18, don't you!?

[smacks Gohan on the head] Thanks, Mister Smooth!

What!? How could you? Krillin, she's a-

Tien

You know she's an android, right pal?

Heh heh...heh heh heh heh...

Expect me to fall at your feet now? Big strong boy rescues me so I'm his forever, right? Not that easy. I was wrong about you, Krillin. [Android 18 leaves]

But...I...

That ungrateful...! I can't stand that android! I'm gonna show her!

Tien

I'm not so sure you could do that...

We've wasted enough time here. Let's hurry up and summon the dragon so we can start undoing all the damage that Cell has done.

MPMister Popo

Yes, of course.

Yeah! That means Trunks'll come back and Dende and me! You'll have plenty of friends here so you won't even need a girl!

[sad] Leave me alone...

View quote →

Tien

Hey, you like the girl, right? So what's up? Why did you wanna wish that guy back too?

Well, I know it's strange...but I want her to be truly happy. And those two make such a good couple that I thought she'd be happier with him. Well, that's why.

Dude, you're hopeless.

If that's what you humans call love, count me out.

Time for bonus points.

Oh wow! There she is! How'd she get here?

Hey, boneheads! 17 is my twin brother!

Oh man...

No, this is excellent, you dope! Didn't you hear her, that guy's her twin brother! Ha ha ha!

I wouldn't celebrate if I were you!

Uh...

If you think you won my heart because of that lousy wish, you're mistaken. I didn't ask for your help. [softer] But it was really nice of you.

It was...? You...you mean...you're not mad at me?

Not really...no.

Well then, would you like to come over and join us?

No thanks.

Aww man... [Android 18 dashes away]

Aha ha! Ha! Whoah, Krillin! You are so in there! That chick digs you man! I can tell!

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure. But she's a woman dude! Oh man! Like I say, she's a girl and there's no tellin' but I think you have a chance. Stick close to my advice and you'll do just fine. After all Krillin, it's my specialty. Trust me. Goku may have taught you how to be a great fighter, but when it comes to love, I'm the master! Ha ha ha ha ha!

Aha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha!

There's no comparison.

I heard that. At least you're man enough to admit it, Piccolo. Fighting's relatively easy.
