Richie quotes from Static Shock

We're here.

(completely unimpressed) We're where?

Your secret headquarters--every hero has to have a secret headquarters. (runs across the street to the empty gas station) Come-on.

Hit the lights and peep your eyes.

(looks around) You gotta be kidding me. (moves around to look through boarded windows) You'd have to renovate before this place could even qualify as a dump.

Oh, come-on, Virg', use your imagination; right now this place might be a broken down, rat-infested...

(interrupts) Rat-infested?!

We'll get some traps. The point is, with a little work, this could be the nerve-center of our entire superhero operation

And what would we call it, the Abandoned Gas Station of Solitude.

(sarcastically to himself) Ahh, that's funny. (to Virgil) Hey, I'd have built us a tree-house if I had a tree.

I wish I could just go out and rent a decent headquarters, but that takes money.

Nobody ever said the superhero gig would be a profit center.

(in agreement) Yeah, but it's costing me; I keep tearing my costume, melting my shoes.

Sharon

Don't you ever go home?

I smell an insinuation.

I'll have you over. soon.

How soon?

Err... this Friday night

Sure?

(nervous) Yeah, yeah, (to himself) that'll work.

Friday it is then. Better tell your mom's to stock up on some essentials; sodas, chips, cookies, you know, the basic food groups.

Ebon

So, Static's your main man, huh?

Huh!?

Daisy

Richie, what happened to your arm?

Swimming .. accident.

I told you, man. When you dive into the pool, make sure there's water in there.

What was I thinking?

I'm just glad they didn't shut down the lava land ride. Whoa-ho! Look, yes! Some of the lava spewed on my shirt.

Daisy

That's nacho cheese, Richie.

(sniffs his shirt) Ew. Different eruption.

Daisy

(to Virgil) He's your friend.

Don't remind me.

He even had purple skin and orange hair!

Ugh, Bang-Babies. They just have no fashion sense.

Class, I'm handing back your essay tests. Undoubtedly, some of you will be happier with your grades than others.

(seeing his high test score) Oh yes, I'm happy. What about you, Rich?

I'm... one of the others.

[Richie is dressed as a superhero, complete with a towel cape and broom for a weapon] He then races to... (notices Static] How long have you been standing there?

I came in at "heinous henchmen."

V, you all right? V!

(drained) When I wake up, remind me to be very angry at you. (passes out)

I guess we'll have to settle this man to man.

Mano a mano.

No quarter asked, no quarter given.

Gimme a quarter.

You told her we were doing homework? On a Friday night?

Think she won't believe me?

No, she will, which doesn't say much for our social lives.

You know, lifting could go a lot faster with a little magnetic boost.

Rich, we're in a gymnasium full of people. Somebody might notice!

No sweat. I'll create a distraction when my arms fall off!

Any way I can talk you out of this?

Can't think of one. Maybe it'll come to me later.

Didn't you say something about having your own life again, about getting used to it?

I guess that's just not enough for me.

I was right. He loves being a hero.

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.
