Dragon Ball Z quotes

A normal kid would be severely punished for trashing his entire birthday cake on his birthday. But you can't help it. After all, you're Goku's son. It's family tradition, pure and simple.

Vegeta

[Piccolo is in the hyperbolic time chamber] What is taking that Namek so long? Really! Doesn't he know he's wasting important people's time.

Well, he's almost done. Just...stay calm.

Vegeta

Calm!? [Vegeta kicks the hyperbolic time chamber door] Oh, I will show you calm. If he stays there any longer, I'll knock that door down and calmly drag him out!

[to Gohan] Now, son...let's try to enjoy ourselves and not worry about Cell. There'll be plenty of time for that.

Cell

[about the entire military division preparing to launch a full-scale attack against him] Pathetic. All these men still playing with toys.

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.

So, what brings you up here? Need some good jokes?

No, no jokes. Not right now. Don't you know about all the horrible things that are happening on Earth?

[to Goku] An android...well, that's a new one. And you say he's even stronger than Frieza? Must be hard for you to get good life insurance. Trouble follows you like a lost puppy.

[when Goku is going to try the instant transmission] I see...instant transmission. The Yardrat's trick. Ooh...I bet they taught you that while you were staying with them...didn't they? Didn't they? Didn't they? [while King Kai does the instant transmission quickly] You know, I always thought it had some handy uses. I could've taught you. But...you never asked me. Never asked. Ha.

This was all just a cheap trick. Cell planted bombs just before the military came. He might be an expert with explosives. But, as you can see, from a martial arts standpoint, he's an amateur. And I, Hercule, the greatest fighter in the world, will crush that fake with my little finger. Now, yell if you love me!

Krillin

[viewing Hercule on television] Eh, man that guy's a real moron.

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.

Cell

[waiting for the tournament to begin] How boring. I should not have given them this long.

Krillin

[after watching Gohan and Dende studying] All this homework...this is giving me bad flashbacks...from algebra class.

So, you wanna know what I'm gonna do to Cell? Exactly the same thing I'm gonna do to this bus! [Hercule punches a hole through a bus]

Now just give up the Dragon Balls nice and slow and then go away or this is going to get very ugly.

Huh? Hey, General Tao! Is that you?

Pardon?

Remember me? My name's Goku.

Go-ku?

We've had our differences, but it's good to see you again.

[after performing a cybernetic scan with his visors to confirm it's Goku] Why me? Why?

[after Goku shatters the protective shield surrounding Vodka and his men] General! Please...make...him...go...away!

Well, I'm feeling a bit...sick today.
