Dragon Ball Z Season 1 quotes

Vegeta

[to himself] What are you thinking, Kakarot? There must be a plan behind all this...this insanity!

I may be giving up, but that doesn't mean the tournament's over. There's still one more person for you to fight.

Cell

You're not serious! Who? One of them!? And exactly which one of these pitiful specimens did you have in mind, Goku? Who? Trunks, Piccolo, Vegeta? Please, don't waste my time.

Cell

[to himself, about Goku] Disappointing. He promises me a challenge and he gives me nothing but a child!

Krillin

[to Goku, after Goku tosses a senzu bean to Cell] Okay, it's official! You've completely lost it!

Look, Cell's kind of worn out right now. It just wouldn't be fair if Gohan beats him when he isn't at his best, you know.

Yamcha

That...that's Cell up there! Who really cares about being fair!?

Cell

[to himself, about Goku] Heh heh heh heh heh. What a fool. Doesn't he realize...? The only thing he's managed to do here is ensure his son's demise.

Cell

[to Gohan] Well, I'll give you this. You certainly are brave. And loyal too. Not many sons are willing to die fighting their father's battles, you know. Your devotion really is most admirable.

Cell

Good fight, kid. But I'm afraid to say, like all good things, it must come to an end.

Piccolo

Goku, you fool. We told you this would happen. We told you. But you wouldn't listen to us! Well, maybe you'll hear this. Your son's dead, Goku. He's dead!

We don't have to do this. This fight, Cell...it's meaningless.

Cell

Huh? Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha! You sound just like your father! Do you honestly think I'll stop my Cell games just because you think they're meaningless?

Yes.

Cell

Well, think again. Let me explain something to you. You have to fight. Unless you beat me here today, I'll destroy the Earth. Now how's that for meaning.

I'm telling you I don't wanna fight anymore, Cell. Even though you're evil...I really have no desire to kill you.

[to Cell] Krillin, my friend, was sinking to the bottom of that lake, dying. And Frieza, that cold-blooded monster was actually enjoying it. I couldn't control what happened next. I attacked. I didn't care that Frieza was the most powerful fighter in the universe. I didn't care that he had the ability to destroy entire planets with a single finger. All I knew was that I had to help my friend...and the only way to him was through Frieza.

Cell

You see, Gohan, this hidden power of yours intrigues me, and now that I know about it, I'm determined to see it for myself!

Piccolo

[Cell is crushing Gohan in a bear hug while Goku waits for Gohan to unleash his power] Gohan may have that power but it doesn't matter. He doesn't thirst for battle and mayhem. He's not a fighter like you!

[Goku gets worried] Ah!?

Piccolo

Do you want to know what he's thinking? He's not thinking about strength or about competition! He's wondering why his father is standing there letting him die! And so your son may be the most powerful person in the world but he's also a scared eleven year old boy. I'd rather die than wait!

Cell

[to Gohan] Stubborn creature. You refuse to fight back despite all the pain that I inflict on you! Perhaps you'd respond better to the pain of your dear old friends!

[while squeezing Cell in a bear hug] I have a powerful explosive embedded deep in my body. It was intended to be a last resort. I am sorry that we androids have caused so much suffering here on the Earth. Cell, no matter how strong you have become...you will not survive this explosion!

[while squeezing Cell in a bear hug] Cell, you destroy life. You are a parasite to this planet. And I see now that this is the best way to destroy you. Dr. Gero's sick ambition to terrorize the world through us will ultimately be put to rest...by his own devices.

Cell

[after blowing up Android 16 into pieces] 16. His petty existence proved Dr. Gero had his flaws.
