Rubber-Band Man quotes from Static Shock

...And next I will tell everyone who you are like you did to me.

Your turn, 'Puff-Mommy.'

Howabout we go all-radical, sit down and talk about it.

(holds his fist up) I don't think so, Sparky! (punches Static)

(recovers) Be that way! (hits Rubber-Band Man with a 'Taser-Punch')

Nice shot, but rubber's an insulator, so your electrical powers can't really hurt me...

Let me tell you something about electricity; a big enough charge can overload any insulator.

Sharon

You couldn't change into a vacuum with wheels!?

Wheels are hard.

Ebon

Need a hand?

No thanks, I always bounce back.

Ebon

I told you to stay out of this, Adam.

Ebon

After all I've done for you, this is the payback. When Dad passed away...

(interrupts angrily) ...Don't you mention him...

Ebon

(interupts) ...Why not, I'm the Man of the Family now.

Says who?

Ebon

Thats the way it works, we're blood, I'm suppost to be looking after you, not fighting with...

Did someone say 'fight'. No offence, 'Stretch,' but a big-time supervillian like Ebon requires a big-time superhero like... well, like me.

Ebon

Aaaaahhhhhhh, the light...

I got this, Static.

Wait, the light makes him lose his powers. Your blocking it.

Ebon

(quietly, allows Rubber-Band Man to hear him) Thanks, little brother.

(seeing that Ebon is escaping) Get off him, he'll get away.

(realises that Ebon has used him to escape) I'm... sorry about that...

(angry) You wanted him to escape.

You did. I thought for a second you had gone straight, but your just like them after all.

(exasperatedly and sarcasticly) Great.

(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.

Ebon

Hey, this ain't no way to treat a brother, brother.

Don't hand me that 'brother' stuff, you played me, Ivan.

Ebon

Come on, blood is thicker than water.

And right and wrong are thicker than blood.

Ebon

Aaaah!

Always could take him.

Sorry you had to.

Static, you alright?

Rubber-Band Man? Watch where your going!

I was. Can't say the same for you 'Mr. Hand-Stand Man.'

I was in complete control up there 'Sir Stretch-A-Lot.'

Tarmack

Your security's useless, Alva. Ya shoulda hired a bouncer.

Now there's an entrance line if I ever heard one!

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?
