Quotes 

• Rick Sanchez : [Sarcastically]  Morty, please. Step back. That vat is full of acid. It will melt you completely, leaving only your bones.

  Morty Smith : God damnit.

  Rick Sanchez : I'm sorry, what did you say?

  Morty Smith : I'm going in the vat.

  [as Morty jumps into the vat his girlfriend pushes through the crowd. She runs away crying] 

  Rick Sanchez : [Sarcastically]  Oh god, oh, I blame myself. Oh, what a tragedy. Oh, well, he's bones now. I guess all debts are paid.

  NAACP member : Agreed. He's definitely dead.

  AARP member : Why else would the bones come up?

  #MeToo activist : While his actions were horrifying, and we are well within our rights to be outraged, I do wonder if we did bear some responsibility for this young man melting himself in acid.

  [Philosophically] 

  #MeToo activist : Are we here for justice, or something else?

  Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotamayor : [With significance]  Though justice be thy plea, consider this, that in the course of justice none of us should seek salvation. We do pray for mercy.

  Rick Sanchez : Merchant of Venice. Nice. Very cool, lots to think about.

  Heroin Keith : Vengeance is a tomb all encompassing...

  Rick Sanchez : [Hastily]  Ok. This isn't a poetry reading. A kid just died. Everyone go home and hug your loved one or something.

• Rick Sanchez : Well, I'm stumped. Seems like there's no way out of this one. Unless...

  [looks at something. Morty turns, and sees the vat of acid] 

  Morty Smith : Goddamnit.

• Morty Smith : All right, let's just do this. I have English homework.

  Rick Sanchez : You're still learning English? It's the language you speak. How dumb are you?

• [last lines] 

  Rick Sanchez : All right. Come on, Morty, let's go home!

  Morty Smith : Wait, what? This isn't our reality?

  Rick Sanchez : What, you think I'd waste our home teaching you a fucking lesson? I am gonna miss this place, though: Johnny Carson's still alive and on the air, 9/11 never happened, and Rocky Road ice cream has peanut butter and jelly instead of marshmallows.

  Morty Smith : But... what? The marshmallows are the best part!

  Rick Sanchez : MORTY!

• Rick Sanchez : Don't ever make fun of me again, EVER!

• Rick Sanchez : Before what you're trying to do was called negging, it was called reverse psychology, and incels didn't invent it, Bugs Bunny did.

• Rick Sanchez : Show him the crystals, Morty.

  [Shows 10 red crystals] 

  Crime Boss : [Taking the red crystals while handing Rick 10 nearly identical grey crystals]  Thanks, I'm going to make lots money with these.

  Rick Sanchez : [Taking the grey crystals]  And I'll make lots of those with these.

• Morty Smith : I don't deserve this. I was just having fun.

  Rick Sanchez : So was Jeffrey Dahmer.
