Jack quotes from Samurai Jack

Well... uh, I guess we should... get this over with.

You know, many people pay money for this. It's called... acupuncture.

Never mind.

[as he's examining a familiar site he's been to] I know this place.

Emperor

He has returned to us. My son.

What has happened to our land, Father?

The Emperor

My son, it has been many years since that fateful day that Aku returned from his imprisonment. Enslaved, we have become, to unearth the riches of the land so that Aku can strengthen his powers and begin to take over the world.

Do not worry, Father, for with the power of this sword, I will vanquish Aku! Sending him back to the pit of hate from which he came.

Emperor

No! I thought once like you, but the sword is only a tool. What power has it compared to the hand that wields it? Evil is clever, and deception is its most powerful weapon. Let the sword guide you to your fate, but let your mind set free the path to your destiny.

I will not fail you, Father!

Emperor

Be wary, my son. For Evil finds a way.

AKU! [loud echoing]

Aku

Who dares to summon the Master of Masters, the Deliverer of Darkness, the Shogun of Sorrow, Aku?

I am the lost son of the land you have pillaged. I am here to reclaim it. For my people, for my father, for my birthright.

Aku

[laughs] Fool. No mortal can hurt the great Aku.

Aku

[growls or snarls/grunts/hisses in pain] That sword! I remember that blade. I recognize your blood. You are the son of the fool who imprisoned me those many years ago. No matter. Neither he nor the sword had the power to slay me forever. And neither do you.

Aku

You might have beaten me now, but I will destroy you in the future.

There is no future for you, Aku.

Aku

I disagree. [he shrieks fives circles and forms white holes above and below Jack]

What trickery is this? [the circles envelope Jack; he slashes but he disappears in a flash of white light] Aku-!

Aku

Do not worry, samurai. You will see me again. But next time, you will not be so fortunate.

Rothchild

Down here, old fellow. I was just wondering if you'd be so kind as to join us, as we were just-

Talking demon dogs!

Rothchild

Good heavens, where?

Rothchild

Now, that was smashing! A real bang-up job. Ahem... Good, Sir Jack. 'Twas truly a noble deed you have done today, and an historic victory most worthy of our logs. You have saved our pack from the wrath of Aku's drones. We are forever indebted to you.

Thanks are not necessary. It is my duty to oppose the minions of Aku and my mission to vanquish the very demon himself.

Rothchild

Well, then, now that we have a chance at freedom, we should take our leave of these forsaken mines. Our pack shall continue our once-nomadic life searching for more answers to our puzzling history.

I wish you the best.

Rothchild

We certainty invite you to join us.

No, I cannot. Aku's wrongs must be righted. Surely there is a way to reverse his spell. I will find a way back to my own time. There, I will finish what I started centuries ago and defeat Aku's evil before it was ever truly unleashed.

Aku

Bah! He is stronger than I remember...but no matter. For you see, little samurai, the world is mine! My eyes and ears are everywhere. Nothing you do will go unseen. Quest as you may, but we will meet again when I see fit in a time and place of my choosing. And it is I who shall put an end to the war started in that age long past... SAMURAI JACK! [evil laughing]

I notice your treatment of the Woolies is somewhat... harsh.

Not really. It's no different than the way you humans treat, what do you call them, horses.

What is wrong, friend? Odds are three to one you should have fun.

I too desire to find my home. You see, in days long past where rockets and robots were nowhere near creation, a young warrior forged into battle with Aku. At the point where victory was imminent, Aku tricked the warrior and flung him from his own time to a distant time in the future. To reclaim his homeland and undo the evil of Aku, the warrior has to find some sort of time passage home. Such a magic is difficult to find.

Is that warrior you?

Who are you, and why did you help me?

Ikra

Not the grateful kind, are you?

I will ask again. Who are you and why did you help me?

Ikra

You're welcome.

My time in this land has made me harsh and rude. Forgive me. I did not mean to insult you.

Ikra

No tears shed, samurai.

Jack.

Ikra

What?

Samurai Jack. It is what the people of this land have named me.

Ikra

O-kaaay? Then let us find shelter elsewhere, Jack. The night is not the time for riding.

Ikra

[cackles evilly until her voice sounded like Aku's]

Ikra?

Aku

[reveals himself] No, fool! It is I, Aku. Yes, samurai. You have been betrayed. I and Ikra are one and the same.

No.

Aku

Oh, yes. You see, I had a dream. No, a nightmare of a jewel that had the power to send you back in time. I knew that this was no mere dream, but a premonition. I had to destroy this powerful jewel, but I did not know its whereabouts.

No!

Aku

Yes, samurai. I knew you would find it. [mockingly] "Oh, my poor father trapped in a ring of fire by mean, old Aku." [cackles evilly] FOOL!

[screams as he goes to attack, but Aku changes into a bird and dodges the sword] FIGHT ME, COWARD!

Aku

Soon we will fight, but not until I find a way to defeat you and your sword. Now, how did you put it? Oh, yes. Your time on this miserable Aku-infested land continues. [laughs as he flies away]

[screams and impales his sword in the ground] I will destroy you, Aku. I swear it.

Samurai Jack

Excuse me. Is this wishing well that you spoke of real?

Why, yes. Beyond that mountaintop over there.

Wait, I beg you. Reconsider. There are only three archers yet they decimated my whole army. You are just one man. Do the math. Why attempt it?

That well could get me home.

There are other ways to get home.

Not for me.

[Jack has been defeated while fighting blind-folded] It's no use. No one can fight like this.

A great warrior must be in tune with *all* of his senses. Only then will you be able to extend your awareness so that you may fight on any level. Try again.

Yes, Sifu.

What sorcery is this? Who are you?

Don't be such a fool! I'm you!

If you are me, then who am I?

Graaah! You're so stupid! You are you also.

Enough! You are my mirror image, yet your speech is foul with evil and disrespect. Who are you, and how have you come to be me?

I am the son of Aku's magic. He has looked deep within you and has spawned me from your own burning hatred. I am your dark side, and I possess all the powers that you wield. And I have only one purpose in my existence: to destroy you!
