Virgil quotes from Static Shock

Daisy

(on the phone) Virgil? I can't hear you. I think I'm having a problem with static.

So am I.

Come on, Pops. My room's clean.

Robert

Virgil, I'm standing in it.

Hey, Pops. Aren't you proud of me?

Robert

Of course I am, son. And you're still grounded. Well, if we're all ready, we've got a table waiting for us at Get Your Grub On! [Laughs]

Sorry about that.

Well, being at home's not too bad. When you feel the love.

Hey Richie, how many superheroes does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Huh?

None. If I'm the superhero, then you don't need a lightbulb.

I call it my Novaburst, all it takes is a little wire.

My latest invention. It transmits on a highband radio frequency, so you should be able to hear it with you powers. Is it working?

Loud and clear.

It's got about a two-mile radius, so you could trace it...

...Wait a minute, I'm picking up something else. I think it's the police band.

What is it?

Something about a ...flood?

(has just rushed through the front door and calls upstairs to Sharon) SHARON. Sharon, we gotta talk.

Where is she...?

...This is new...

...Oh, oh...

(forcefully) Sit down.

(angryly) Sitting.

I don't wanna hurt you, I just want to talk to your sister.

(raises the paper he had brought with him) About this?

It ain't true, I didn't brake the Meta-Breed outta jail, I helped put then there.

Yeah, I supposed you didn't help Ebon escape from Static either.

It wasn't 'like that.

I saw it--we all saw it.

Look, I helped Ebon but I had my reasons...

Yeah, cos your just like him.

No, (turns to leave,) because he's my brother.

He's nice, but he's not smart enough to be president.

Never stopped anyone before.

Hey, Vee, check this o-

Madelyn

Not so fast, Richard. Let's see what's in your brain...

What's going on? ...Richie?!

Madelyn

You... you're interesting. [She cackles and runs away.)

Hey, watcha doing?

Stuff

Okay

Jimmy Osgood, student of mystery

That's when Nick Connor came in, last year he was voted "Best Personality", should've demanded a recount.

c'mon, my bedroom is this way.

cool room, did you make all of this?

most of it, see this it's a prop from "Star Force" I got it at an online auction

woah!, I've only seen that movie like a bazillion times, check it vee

(looking at Jimmy's lava lamp) Uh huh

I got it on DVD, we can watch it or I can show you something cooler I can show you a real gun

what?

My Dad bought it for protection, wanna see?

No I hate guns, my mom was killed by one, it was an accident, but, listen I gotta go! See you tomorrow at school, okay?, Come on Rich.

I'm afraid he's gonna hurt somebody.

He'd never do that. He doesn't mean it. (closes Jimmy's laptop)

Robert

Your son's depressed, Mr. Osgood. (opens the curtains) I work with kids and I can tell you, you can't dismiss this. He needs help.

Pops, Jimmy told me he knew where he could get a gun.

My gun's locked up, I have the key. (gets the keys out of his pocket, then notices one of them missing) Oh my god...

It's gone! The gun's gone!

Robert

What were you thinking having a handgun in the house where a kid could get to it!?

But I didn't know... Jimmy would even think of...

Pops! Those kids who were hassling Jimmy! They might be down at the community center!

Robert

I gotta get down there! Call the police! Have them send a car down there now!

(sees Richie rapidly scribbling schematics in his notebook) Richie.

Uh-huh?

What you workin' on?

(speaking rapidly) Well, I was fixing my roller blades last night, while watching the military channel special on harrier jets, you know, the ones that can make vertical take-offs and landings and I was thinking, wouldn't it be super-cool to integrate that technology into my skates?

...Oookay...

(after stopping the jet blade from colliding into Richie's face) Richie, this is too much.

You're right. The rear boosters must be overpowered.

No man, not the skates! YOU!

What do you mean?

The robot, the Zap-Caps, all this stuff! I mean, all of a sudden you're Brainiac the Maniac!

So I'm a little smarter than most people. What's the big deal?

A little? The Department of Defense couldn't think up most of this stuff!

Well they don't have to! I already thought it up for them!

Focus, Richie. Remember when you said your head felt like it was on fire? Maybe you were right, 'cause something's really cooking up there.

(ponders slowly at first) I do feel different lately; I think faster, a lot faster. (starts to speed up) Sometimes I can't stop thinking. Sometimes it's like my thoughts are thinking thoughts! See, I just thought that! (starts panicking) It's like ideas are exploding in my head! Does it look bigger? It does, doesn't it? Cranial perimeters definitely expanding. Oooh no!

You look fine.

Fine?! I'm having some kind of strain-on-the-brain breakdown!! I could be going crazy, I...

(grabs Richie) Rich, you know what I think? I think maybe you're becoming a Bang Baby.

That doesn't make any sense. Why am I changing now?

I don't know. Late boomer, maybe? I mean, other bangers had delyaed reactions.

But I wasn't even at the Big Bang.

Yeah, but you were with me right after I got gassed, and my clothes reeked of the stuff. Maybe that's how you got infected and it's been dormant in you all this time. What do you think?

It's as good a theory as we got right now.
