Michael quotes from Knight Rider

Michael

Devon, don't let anyone tell you differently: you are a little strange.

Michael

(to Cole) I'm going to start rattling cages until all the monkeys fall, so you get yourself a real good grip!

You better hurry.

Devon

We're too late.

(Opens his eyes, smiles) Almost. What kept you? Car not fast enough?

Michael

(Chuckles) Look, you gotta put that thing on the market, could save thousands of lives.

Have it taken away from me, kept off the market, like they did my airpl-- (coughs badly) airplane?

Devon

Don't try to talk, I'll explain everything. (To Michael) Mr. Knight is the last of his breed. He built his own empire, just as the Fords and the Rockefellers did.

Michael

Devon, we've been all through this.

All right. Michael, come closer. (Michael obeys) You were spared to lead a great fight. Don't turn away in fear. One man can...make a difference, and you are going to be that man.

Michael

Mr. Knight, I'd like to be able to promise you that I feel like I could take on the world someday, but I can't. I still wake up in the middle of the night shaking, (flashback to Tanya Walker shooting Michael), remembering that gun in my face and the whole world blowing up.

Remember that moment. Think of it as your baptism by fire. (Extends his hand, Michael takes it) My adventure has ended, yours has just... just begun.

Michael

Now then, about my car.

Devon

Well, simply stated, Wilton Knight was my friend as well as my employer. And my legacy is to see that his final dream is faithfully pursued, like it or not. Your options are still open. You don't have to...

Michael

Devon, the old man wanted me, it was his dying request.

Devon

Yes, to rid the world of Tanya and her friends. But the rest of his dream will bore you to tears! The majority of our activity here involves legal research, class-action suits, strictly bureaucratic stuff.

Michael

What else?

Devon

What else?

Michael

Yeah, the part he wanted me for?

Devon

Well, Mr. Knight also believed that under certain circumstances, direct action might be the only feasible solution. That's what the Knight 2000 was designed for. The pilot program consists of one man and one car. Absurd really. I mean, who would want to take on such a thing?

Michael

I was supposed to be that man, wasn't I?

Devon

Well, he seemed to feel that you were singularly well-qualified to "go it alone", as he put it. But who could expect it of you? I mean, you barely came through this misadventure with your life. Not to mention the damage to the Knight 2000.

Michael

I spent years of my life fighting criminals of one type or another who always had the upper hand and now this, it's a loner's dream. It's been handed to me on a silver platter: the world's most fantastic car, all the money and all the resources of the Knight Foundation, and most of all the best chance I'll ever get to prove... that one man really can make a difference.

Devon

(pours two glasses of whiskey, hands one to Michael) I was afraid that would be your attitude. Well, shall we drink to what may be the start of, um...

Michael

Of what?

Devon

One man's dream.

Michael

And to our future. No matter who it may take us up against, or where. (They clink glasses)

You're gonna be in big trouble, Knight: accosting army personnel, destroying government property.

Michael

Oh, really? Major, these shells are blue. According to that chart over there, they're armor-piercing shells. What if somebody repainted them? I know it's an awful thought, but just suppose. Well, then they might be... tactical nuclear weapons.

Michael

You know, you and your buddies must have watched too many bad movies on TV when you were kids.

Why is that?

Michael

'Cause your accidentally lousy manners are ten years out of date. You can't be real.

Oh I'm for real, I'm a Scorpion. Hilly.

Davey, run. Go get the sheriff, quick!

This... is Stinger. You're about to be the stingee.

Michael

Before or after the commercial?

(after dodging explosions on road) I just hope the next time you go for a ride like this, you take me along. It's fun!

Michael

Yeah, it's a real blast.

Outta sight.

Michael

Bonnie, with those hands, you should've been a surgeon.

Bonnie

That's what my dad always said. I had to practically slash my wrists to convince him I couldn't stand the sight of blood.

Michael

Medicine's loss, our gain.

KITT

Are you positive it was a deliberate assault on us?

Michael

No question about it.

KITT

How can you be so sure?

Michael

Because earthmovers don't mate this time of year.

Michael

(promising to find fuel for KITT) I'll find you some blood, Dracula.

KITT

A very inept analogy. Blood has almost no combustible qualities at all.

Michael

What's wrong with a little companionship? You can understand that.

KITT

No, I cannot. When you're one-of-a-kind, companionship does not compute.

Michael

How's it feel being one of a kind again?

KITT

Being one of a kind, is a very familiar feeling.

Michael

Maybe I can get something from the girl.

KITT

I wouldn't touch that line with a 10-foot drive shaft!

Michael

I have a problem.

Devon

My dear boy, don't be modest. You have a multitude of problems.

KITT

With your usual lack of subtlety, you would have no problem at all in panicking anyone with anything at all to hide. Actually, we might go so far as...

Michael

KITT?

KITT

Yes, Michael, I know.

Michael

Shut up.
