Quotes
-
DG : I'm DG. This is...
Cain : I know, a head-case.
Glitch : I have a proper name... and when I remember it I will tell you.
DG : What's a head-case?
Cain : It's what the state does to re-educate criminals. Remove their brains, and keep them trapped inside their own heads. Ain't that right, convict?
Glitch : Whoa, I ain't no convict!
[hesitates]
Glitch : And just in case I am, it was a bogus charge, a frame job, I'm sure of it!
-
DG : [seeing Glitch hanging from the ceiling] What are you doing...
Glitch : up here? The little ANKLE-BITERS, thought it would be funny to keep me hanging around. Untie me, and I might have the last laugh.
[DG hesitates]
Glitch : Come on doll, if mom and pop really are on the road to central city, you're falling further and further behind.
DG : You know the way?
Glitch : Sure, though, it's kind of hard to give directions from up here. Unless you have a better offer?
-
Glitch : [to the angry cyborgs] We were just passing through... we were just passing through... we were just passing through...
[Cain hits him and he stops]
-
Glitch : [about the girl in the mirror] That's Azkadellia. Marbles or not, evil like that you don't forget.
-
Glitch : You've been sleeping for hours... like a baby with his pacifier.
Cain : I thought you were dead.
Glitch : Ditto. You know, I may have saved you from hypothermia, but um,
[holds up the horse toy]
Glitch : this is what saved your life. It stopped the bullet.
Cain : DG?
Glitch : Azkadellia.
Cain : Raw?
Glitch : Ah, I don't know I can't find him. Either they took him too, or he's dead. Or...
Cain : Maybe he ran away.
Glitch : You know you really should do something about that BITTER cynicism of yours Cain!
Cain : Why? Someone's gotta keep your wide-eyed optimism in check.
[silence]
Cain : Hey, Glitch?
Glitch : What?
Cain : I owe you one.
Glitch : [smiles] You know Cain, professional psychiatric help is only a crow's call away these days. I think someone like you with your issues with masculinity, and what we call it the boy scout syndrome...
-
Glitch : I'm not saying they called me 'Twinkle-toes' but I cut quite a rug... Oh, you can make a face Cain, but here was a time I was a *terrific* dancer. She may have taken my brain, but *rhythm* that comes directly from the...
Cain : [interrupting] Do you have any bright ideas how to get in there?
Glitch : I mean, I don't mind taxing my half a brain for DG, but just *once* I'd like someone to admire me for my *rhythm*. Which, as I was saying before I was so *rudely* interrupted, comes directly from the *soul*.
[Cain gives him the look]
Glitch : You know, Cain, sometimes you make me feel just like those ladies at the dance, like I blend right in with the wallpaper...
Cain : [looking at Longcoats] That's not a bad idea.
Glitch : [surprised] Wanna dance?
Cain : I'll lead, you follow.
-
Glitch : [to Azkadellia, about DG] Leave her alone.
-
Glitch : [surrounded by Papays] It's almost dinner time!
-
Toto : The time to leave is now.
Cain : Sorry Pooch, but this is where we part company.
Toto : Part?
Cain : With the Mobats in the sky and the Longcoats on our trail, I don't have time to figure out what your angle is in all this.
Toto : My 'angle' is her mother sent me to help her.
Cain : And you did. I'd even thank you, if I knew who you were...
Glitch : Whoa, Mister-Suspicious! This is the man... dog...
[whispers]
Glitch : thingy... that helped us escape!
-
Glitch : [to Azkadellia about the queen] Show some respect!
Azkadellia : The queen's reign ends today.
-
Man in audience : Mystic Man, answer me this: What is the meaning of life?
Mystic Man : That question is as timeless as the moons. We must seek to serve the forces of the universe in all our humanity, and all our humility.
[Azkadellia's vapors are being sprayed]
Mystic Man : First, we must inhale the magic...
Glitch : This is the man with all the answers?
Mystic Man : ...and HOLD IT, HOLD IT...
Glitch : He's out of his mind, literally!
Mystic Man : ...AND YOU KNOW THE MEANING OF LIFE!
