Invincible quotes from Invincible

Nuolzot wasn't lying to you; his people do need your help. Let me tell you why--

I don't care!

I know that's not true.

Why? Why do I care about them? They were weak. Short-lived. Barely a species. They shouldn't matter to me…

That doesn't mean they should die.

You don't understand! I'm not supposed to feel this way! How is this better?!

This is how you should've felt on Earth.

Kregg

Good, you're alive.

My dad... what are you doing--?

Kregg

Don't speak. Listen. My name is General Kregg. You've survived your first true battle and proven yourself worthy of your Viltrumite heritage.

Go fuck your--

Kregg

[punches him in the face, then nonchalantly shakes the blood off his hand] Your father will be executed, and you will return to Earth. You will assume his mission and prepare the planet for our rule. I know this may not appeal to you, given your sympathies, so I'll put it like this: you can kill a few humans to convince them to capitulate, or we will kill millions if we arrive to find you or your planet still defiant against us. We will check on your progress soon. And unlike your father, we do not change our minds. Good luck on your mission.

Allen the Alien

What the hell is that guy's problem?

His girlfriend just died.

Allen the Alien

Well, now I feel like a giant douchebag.

What do you want?

Anissa

We've studied this planet.

Good for you.

Anissa

Human civilization has less than an 18% chance of surviving the next two centuries without the loss of billions of lives.

Is that a threat?

Anissa

That is the truth. The powerful of this world destroy their own home, strip resources for themselves. Large areas of this planet will soon be uninhabitable due to human greed.

Yeah, I know...

Anissa

Yet here you are, hands in fists, worried about stopping me instead of stopping them.

It's complicated...

Anissa

No, it isn't. We have the technology to repair their climate, feed their hungry, punish their criminals. We will save more of their lives in a single year than you could in a hundred. You are failing this planet and its people, do you not see that?

[stammering slightly] A-At least I don't kill!

Anissa

Yet you let thousands die every day you resist Viltrumite rule. Or do those human lives not matter to you?

Anissa

[after killing the sea monster] Humans were dying, so I took action. Much like our Empire will do when it controls Earth.

Yeah... thanks.

Who are you, and what do you want?!

Debbie

He made me call you! He said he'd hurt us if we didn't! Mark--

Angstrom Levy

[grabs her throat] He was talking to me.

Let them go! Now!

Angstrom Levy

Did you know your identity is public in almost half of the realities you exist in? So careless.

I don't know why you're here... but I'm warning you--

Angstrom Levy

You...! You really don't remember who I am. Let me help: when we met before, you hadn't done this to me!

Oh God! You're that guy.

Angstrom Levy

[enraged] "That guy"? That's all you remember of me?! That I was "that guy"?! I am Angstrom Levy, and you made me into a monster!

I didn't do anything to you! Your machine blew up!

Angstrom Levy

YOU DID THIS! [tosses Debbie and Oliver aside, making the latter scream in fear] I was gonna save the world! All of them!

You need help. Let me just--

Angstrom Levy

I HAD HELP! I had the best doctors in a dozen dimensions. They saved my life, rebuilt my body, but even they couldn't fix THIS! So now, I'll always have a reminder of you, and what you did. [glances back at Debbie and Oliver; Invincible clenches his fist] Oh, I agree. [smirking] Come get me.

My word! How is this possible?

It's just the damnedest thing. I-If I wasn't looking right at it...

I thought sapiens were extinct. I was but a hatchling when I last tasted their succulent flesh.

Ooh, I want a taste! We can share.

[growls and headbutts him] I smelled it first, it's mine!

Stay back! No one's eating me.

[gasps] Egads, it speaks!

I've never heard tell of a talking sapien.

I don't care if it sings - I only care how it tastes!

[headbutts him] Back, you brute! If it talks, it thinks.

Hey!

[gasps] It flies too! Its wings must be invisible.

More to eat! I want my taste!

Ohoho! Talk about your bad luck, Prof. Ock!

Oh... shit, are you okay? I didn't mean to--

Hey, thanks, pal! Now let's get this guy webbed up.

What? No, are you...? Wait, are you trying to hurt this old man?

Ugh. Look, I saw the portal. I know you're from another dimension -- got way too much experience with that. Especially lately. So, uh, trust me: I'm the good guy here, and Mr. Mechanical Arms is not.

Well, you got glowing red eyes, man! How am I supposed to--?

Oh! Toldja.

Angstrom Levy

Remember those doctors I told you about? The ones who rebuilt my body? They also improved it! Why do you think I sent you across the multiverse, huh?! Why do you think I softened you up?! I don't want you to die in some random dimension! I wanna do it myself! Did you think anything less than killing you with my bare hands would satisfy me?!

STOP!

Angstrom Levy

[chuckling] No. This doesn't end until you and your family are dead.

STOP... THREATENING... MY FAMILY! [starts relentlessly striking Levy] You have NO idea what I've been through! How much I've been HOLDING BACK! [sends him slamming into the ground, where he pins him down and starts beating him into a bloody mess] I'LL NEVER LET... ANYONE... EVER... EVER... HURT MY FAMILY! [he screams in rage while he delivers a last, earth-shaking blow, seemingly killing Levy. Mark starts panting and widens his eyes in horror of what he’s done] ...Again. [gags and shouts. He starts sobbing] I thought you were... I thought... I thought you were stronger.

(sighs frustrated before Cecil appears before him, startling him) Whoah! Hey! Uh, we have these things called "doors" that normal people use all the time. You should try them.

Cecil Stedman

We also have these things called Viltrumites. You should try winning a fight against them sometime.

Okay, too... too soon, Cecil. Also, how much does it cost every time you like teleport? Isn't that taxpayer money?

Cecil Stedman

Do you know the gross economic output of Lichtenstein?

Not even a little.

Cecil Stedman

More than that.

Uh... okay, well that seems really irresponsible-

Cecil Stedman

(slams his hands on the table) It's been months, Mark! Months since 2000 retirees got their vacation ruined and you got your ass kicked by some second cousin of your dad's who dropped in to prove a point.

Hey-

Cecil Stedman

That point being that she could kick your ass without breaking a sweat.

That's not nice.

Cecil Stedman

Not only that, she promised Mr. Ten Times worse was on his way. So, what exactly have you been doing to prepare? There's only eight billion people counting on you.

Hey, I've- I've been busy!

Cecil Stedman

Busy doing what exactly?

Well, I've been busy... (montage plays) Writing, designing, storyboarding, voice acting, key-posing-

Cecil Stedman

(interrupting) Hey, hey, hey. No, no, no, no. Stop! I'm not falling for that shit. Who do you think I am? Some pickle-hating one-eyed rube from planet-just-let-the-Viltrumites-win?

I don't... think that. What?

Cecil Stedman

No, I bet you don't. And don't even get me started on your little four month vacation right in the middle of things. We all sure loved that. Do you have mayonnaise?

Okay, it was more like... three and a half-

Cecil Stedman

This is life or death, Mark. People are counting on you to live up your obligations. So what exactly are you doing to get ready for what's coming?

I'm... uh... You know I-I'm... stuff.

Cecil Stedman

(facepalms) Yeah, that's what I was worried about. And why I shouldn't leave a nineteen-year-old in charge of Earth's security. All right, we're taking over your training.

Training? What training?

Cecil Stedman

"What training?" Okay, how about... (small Chibi scenes appear) Weightlifting. Cardio. Speed. Damage resistance. Flexibility. Battle tactics. Reactions. And punctuality.

That's... so much stuff. Okay, when is... when is this all gonna start?

Cecil Stedman

(sighs) I thought you'd never ask.

C'mon-

Cecil Stedman

We're a top secret organization, Mark. And we learn from our mistakes.

But I need to know when to show up!

Cecil Stedman

(sighs) Fine. Lights. (title card is presented with subtitle "NEW SEASON; FEBUARY 6 (NO MID-SEASON BREAK)")

Ah. Much better. Still can't believe I have to exercise.

Donald Ferguson

Over the last 90 days, Mark's speed has increased 65%. His endurance 70%. And his strength, and we checked this wasn't a mistake, 138%. Science team is working on a heavier version.

Cecil Stedman

So, the billion dollar question then, can he beat that Viltrumite woman who made us all shit our pants three months ago?

Donald Ferguson

We think so. But she implied someone much worse was coming.

Cecil Stedman

Which is why we're not stopping here, with Mark or any of our other plans.

Rex Splode

Fuck me! Way to make a fellow superhero feel inadequate. That is not leg day.

Hey Rex. Yeah, Cecil's got me on a training plan.

Rex Splode

Uh, yeah. I can see that. So, um, how much did all this cost, Cecil? Is this why the coffee maker still broken at the Guardians' HQ?

Cecil Stedman

We bought you a new hand, Rex. That wasn't cheap.

Rex Splode

Yeah, and this is the third time I've been back trying to get it adjusted. Look, I'm trying to give you the finger right now and I can't.

Oh man, that's your favorite finger.

Rex Splode

It's my favorite finger!

It's his favorite finger, Cecil. (shrugs)

Are you working with D.A. Sinclair?!

Cecil Stedman

Calm down.

[slamming his hands on Cecil's desk] He turned people into monsters! He almost killed William! He should be in prison!

Cecil Stedman

He can't fix his mistakes in prison, Mark. Neither can Darkwing.

What are you even talking about?!

Cecil Stedman

[sighs and stands up] D.A. Sinclair's a genius. Darkwing cracked from fighting endless crime in Midnight City. You don't waste people like that, you reform them. Repair them. Let them make restitution for their mistakes.

"Mistakes"?! They murdered people! Rick still isn't right after what Sinclair did to him!

Cecil Stedman

Sinclair's new Reanimen are made with donated corpses. Darkwing will never kill again. They both went through severe psychological reprogramming. They save lives now, Mark, and are repaying the very substantial debt they owe us all.

That is BULLSHIT and you know it!

Cecil Stedman

Is it? You killed Angstrom Levy. Should I lock you up too? Throw away the key?

Y-You know that was different!

Cecil Stedman

A man's still dead because of you.

And I think about it every single day! But he almost killed my mom and brother!

Cecil Stedman

Exactly. You were trying to save lives. Which is what I'm trying to do, so... how about you extend me the same privilege and go home?

No! No way. I'm not going anywhere until Sinclair and Darkwing are both back in prison.

[following him in] Did you hear me?!

Cecil Stedman

Go home, Mark, before you do something you'll regret.

I told you, I'm not leaving until-- wait, why are we in here again?

Cecil Stedman

Please go.

What are you hiding in here?! Who else is working for you?!

Cecil Stedman

The White Room is for my protection.

Protection from what?!

Cecil Stedman

From you, Mark. From you.

Cecil Stedman

It's my job to defend the planet from threats. Don't make me put you in that category, Mark.

[surrounded by Reanimen] Do you use these things to keep Darkwing in line? Or Sinclair?

Cecil Stedman

Darkwing and Sinclair don't have your abilities.

Abilities I only use to help people!

Cecil Stedman

Who are you helping right now? You see things one way, and you won't make room for any other viewpoint. You threaten people who disagree with you.

I don't threaten!

Cecil Stedman

No? Because you're scaring the shit out of me right now.

I'm not even doing anything!

Cecil Stedman

You arrogant little asshole. Look at this goddamn mess. Everywhere you go, destruction follows, because of your ego. You're a hypocrite, waltzing off to help your mass-murdering dad, but God forbid anyone else screws up and then tries to make good. Don't you ever, ever threaten me again. [to the other young Guardians] As for the rest of you--

I will never work for you again! We're done! And if you ever come near my family again... I will kill you.
