Vaughn Du Clark quotes from IZombie

Clive Babineaux

How did she get along here? She ever have issues with the other employees?

Vaughn Du Clark

Well, she had issues with me. I had her demoted for failing to deliver results on time. But I don't murder employees over missed deadlines, as a rule.

Major Lilywhite

You didn't know?

Vaughn Du Clark

That you were doing the feather bed jig with my daughter? Um, no?

Major Lilywhite

Your...

Vaughn Du Clark

[Vaughn yells out] Daughter!

Accounting-wise, we've factored in lawsuits. There'll be violent episodes similar to the frequency we experienced with Max Rager.

Vaughn Du Clark

Only now, these manic episodes will be committed by super-strong, super-fast, tireless Super Max drinkers. Yeah, I got news for you. Everybody's going to be drinking Super Max. The take-away is, the only thing that can take down a bad guy having a Super Max freak out is a good guy chugging a Super Max.

Super Max magnifies the effect of adrenaline exponentially. As long as it's in your system, you have all the strength at your disposal that you might have if your loved one were trapped under a car.

Vaughn Du Clark

Hmm.

These zombies have taught us how to unlock our potential. And I shouldn't need to tell you it's dangerous.

Vaughn Du Clark

Energy drink research. We are an energy drink company.

Liv Moore

What, specifically? CNS stimulation cascades? Amino acid recombination chains? Effects on cell integrity stimulated ATP production?

Vaughn Du Clark

I understood very little of that.

Vaughn Du Clark

You wanna know what's in the basement?

Liv Moore

Yes.

Vaughn Du Clark

Secrets. You know who else has a secret basement? Everyone. Because it's business, and businesses compete by trying to come up with even cooler new things, and you don't want someone trying to copy your new cooler thing before you're done, do you? So you work on it in your secret basement.

Vaughn Du Clark

Dr. Cash? Never heard of her. What makes you think she works here?

Liv Moore

We, uh, we...

Clive Babineaux

We have a source.

Vaughn Du Clark

Source? So, it's not just that you enjoy dropping by every time a homicide is committed in King County?

Vaughn Du Clark

Just finished my keynote for Rager-Con '16, and it's not even 10:00. [Vaughn chuckles] Super Max, man. Super Max! I mean, my mental energy is like, it's... It's off the charts. And physically? Forget it. Ask the Air Gaulle flight attendant how many petits morts she morted last night? Go ahead.

Major Lilywhite

Sounds like a personal question for a total stranger.

Vaughn Du Clark

Six! You're welcome! Saved you the embarrassment.

Vaughn Du Clark

So, sweet child of mine, who's always telling Daddy not to sleep with the help.

[Rita looks to Major] Really, Major? I didn't figure you for the kiss-and-tell type.

Vaughn Du Clark

What can we expect? A new generation of Super Max fueled super-soldiers, making the world's hotspots safe for capitalism, hmm?

Don't worry your pretty head about it. I'll sign over the billion dollar check as soon as I'm sure that the product isn't getting blamed for a certain serial killer's actions. I don't want your dirty laundry becoming my dirty laundry.

Vaughn Du Clark

Always with figurative language, this one.

Major Lilywhite

I know you're a fan of submarine movies, so I'm sure you'll understand.

Vaughn Du Clark

[Vaughn Du Clark screams] No, no, no, no. No! Ah!

Major Lilywhite

Good luck!

Vaughn Du Clark

The company is selling for more money than I can ever spend over multiple lifetimes. And now, with all these zombie guinea pigs, finding a cure for you will have my full attention.

Wow. You're doing all this for me?

Vaughn Du Clark

Yeah, I am.

Yet you couldn't hold an elevator door open for three seconds.

Vaughn Du Clark

So tell me about all the cool stuff your mercenaries will be doing when you pump 'em full of Super Max. They gonna be dodging bullets Keanu Reeves-style, huh?

Vivian Stoll

You know, the thing about private military contractors is that they love gabbing with strangers about what they do.

Vaughn Du Clark

Oh, cocktails! Perfect timing. Cellblock Mango, or Convicted Melon? Which would you prefer, Viv?

Vivian Stoll

Vian. I only drink liquor that comes out of a barrel. The way God intended.

Vaughn Du Clark

Double-fisted it is, then.

Did you ever care about me?

Vaughn Du Clark

[Vaughn Du Clark yells at Rita] Do you hear yourself? Do you hear yourself? Making this moment about you! 'Cause I'm the one who stands to lose a billion dollars tonight! Not to mention my reputation! One hundred dead employees, one dead Rob Thomas. I mean, this just looks bad. You think Twitter's gonna be kind?
