Static quotes from Static Shock

When I was a kid I was in a hospital for two years. I don't do hospitals.

If we can't get that key and unlock ourselves, we're both gonna be in here a lot longer than two years.

Gear! [He zaps the straps to release him. He grabs Gear and shakes him gently.) Gear, can you hear me?!

[groans and opens his eyes] Hey... what brings you here?

[grins widely, relieved that he's alright] I heard there was gonna be free ice cream.

I can't thank you enough for what you've done.

I didn't do it for you Alva. I did it because it was right.

Yeah. You should try it.

Man, the city's stopped. Not even the cops can get through.

Maybe that's the idea. (Backpack beeps) Backpack got something?

He's sensing increased abnormal transformations of base compounds on a molecular level.

In english.

Nanites.

That's english?

Looks like we're closing in on our 'ghost'.

What does a ghost need with an Mp3 player?

Well, for one thing, CDs are too bulky.

That was embarrassing.

I won't tell anybody if you won't.

(to Gear) We've got a problem.

Don't worry, S-man. We can take this guy.

Uh huh. Why don't you put this back on? (holds up Gear's helmet)

Ah!

(to Gear) I don't suppose you have a pair of scissors?

(Backpack's gadgets come into view on multible robotic arms, including a fork and a comb) ...No.

Please! I don't know how to fly this!

(taking hold of the controls) Not to worry. I've logged over two-hundred hours in an F-15.

You have?

Well, on my gamestation flight simulator. (Engine suddenly explodes) But that never happens!

I'm going to try to land on Woodward Avenue.

There are cars down there!

I know. This thing got a horn?

So, how'd I do?

Isn't that your Dad's car?

Heh, got ya.

He's gone completely out of sync with our time. He's trapped in his own warp.

What do we do?

I don't think there's anything we can do except call the cops.

Well, they won't have to hurry. By the time he gets to the end of the block, it'll be Christmas.

Looks like 'Asphalt Man's one tough road to hoe.

Tarmack

Hey! The name's Tarmack!

What kind of a name is 'Thumb-Tack'?

No, no, man, he said 'Knick-Knack'.

'Fat-Back'?

I think it was 'Rat-Pack'.

Oh, 'Short-Stack'.

Look at this; it’s a review of your new CD.

I don’t read my reviews.

Don’t or can’t?

Look I’m dyslexic all right. They put me in a special learning program. They showed me techniques.

Like what?

A lot of stuff. You change words into something you can feel instead of look at, but it takes patience. I could never sit still as a kid.

So you dropped out of the program?

I felt dumb! Don’t tell anyone about this ok?

You’re not dumb! Look what you made of yourself. A hero. A famous musician. But…

But I messed up.

I was gonna say ‘but you can’t give in’. You said you can read, it just takes some work. Do the work.

(about his Dyslexia) Thanks for not saying anything.

When are you gonna say something?
