- Hank and Dean: "He started it!''Dr. Venture: " No, I started it years ago in a moment of passion! And I'll end it the same way right here in front of Brock, H.E.L.P.eR., and God!''Brock: "Now, I want you to put your hand around your throat, Hank.''Hank: "Uhh...alright.''Brock: "That tube you feel is your trachea. Think of it as a handle. Your thumb is on your carotid artery, that's your button. Now remember, grab the handle, push the button. Repeat that back.''Hank: " (gasping) Grab the handle, push the...''Brock: "Let go of your own throat, Hank.''The Monarch: "Well, Hank, what's it like to be a... liar? Huh? You like being a liar with pants constantly on fire?''Tiny Attorney: "Objection, your honor, leading.''The Monarch: "I'll rephrase that: Hank, are you a liar?''Hank: "No sir, I don't think so.''The Monarch: "Yes you are!''Dean: "You're the liar!''The Monarch: "And may I remind you, that I am rubber and you are glue and whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you.''Brock: "No, Dean, this is Guild business, your father isn't in any harm. Guild work is clean, professional. It's surgical with them. In a way they're the only organization I still respect.''Hank: "And they kill clean, don't let dames get in the way.''Brock: "Honestly, Hank, where do you pick that stuff up? I never see you read.''Dean: "It's weird, right?''Brock: "It's like he channels dead crazy people.''Hank: "You think it's a cry for help?''The Monarch, in a Scared Straight Program: "You're probably wondering why you're here, YOU'RE HERE BECAUSE YOU DONE FUCKED UP TOO MANY TIMES! You think you're hot shit in a champagne glass, but you're really cold diarrhea in a Dixie cup! And if you keep like you've been doin', this is where you're heading.''Kid 1: (snickering) ''The Monarch: "Oh, that's funny to you right? Cause you so fuckin' bad? I know your type.

Next thing you know you've got a jet shaped like a skull with lasers on the front.''Kid 2: "This is totally gay.''The Monarch: "What?! You think this is gay, huh? Is that what you fucking said, you scrawny piece of shit? Oh, this isn't gay! But King Gorilla over there is, and I'll bet he can't wait to break off a piece of your dick in his ass! (King Gorilla makes kissing lips)''The Monarch: "You - get up! I SAID GET THE FUCK UP! What's your name?''Dean: "Dean Ven...''The Monarch: "YOUR NAME IS BITCH! And I own you. YOU'RE PROPERTY! And when I'm tired of having sex with every hole God drilled in your slender frame - King Gorilla, you got a cigarette? There, I just sold you for a cigarette, and I don't smoke!'' *Beat, it dawns on the Monarch that "Bitch" was Dean* Holy Shit! You're Dean fucking Venture! King, I gotta buy my bitch back. Here's your cigarette.King Gorilla: Fuck you, give me a dollar!
Season Two
- Phantom Limb (to Brock): "I have removed the bullet. And three others, a blowgun dart, two shark's teeth, a tip of a bayonet, a twisted paperclip, and a meager handful of buckshot. You may want to learn how to duck.''Hunter Gathers (to Brock): "Lesson number one: trust no one. The minute God crapped out the third caveman, a conspiracy was hatched against one of them. Get up, damn you! (throws Brock a jetpack) Strap 'er on kid, your training starts now. When I'm through with you, you'll be a member of the elite agency that's been thanklessly defending this big-ass country since the second American Revolution.... the invisible one.

Separates us from the baddies.''Brock: "But what if she's an enemy agent?''Hunter: "Uh-uh.''Brock: "An assassin?''Hunter: "No.''Brock: "A double-agent assassin who just killed the President.''Hunter: "No sir. Non-lethal takedown only. President's not the President anyway, you know that.''Brock: "Oh. Hey, how about, you know, uh... a lady Dracula?''Hunter: "You mean, le vampyr? Nosferatu?''Brock: "I guess.''Hunter: "Undead. Not technically a woman in that regard, so you got no beef there. Also, fictitious. (Brock lifts a baguette to his mouth) Do not eat that, it's C4!''Osiris Priest: "Give me the Hand of Osiris!''Dr. Venture: "Give me head.''Osiris Priest: "You didn't just say that!''Dr. Venture: "I absolutely did. What are you gonna do about it?''Osiris Priest: "I'm... about to kill your sons.''Dr. Venture: "Join the club!''Osiris Cultist: "Ooh yeah, of course, OIL. Yeah, it makes sense now. Thought you told me to fill it with hot voile.''Osiris High Priest: "Wh-What the hell is voile?''Osiris Cultist: "It's a soft, sheer fabric. I warmed some up in the dryer.''Osiris High Priest: "What the.. are you insane? What kind of torture is that? Get out of here! I'm serious, I don't even want to LOOK at you any more!''Brock: "Hank, you and Caligula keep up the rear. (Caligula moans happily and hugs Hank) On second thought, you and Freud should do it.

You got that? ''Billy: All right, she's ready to test. Who's the guinea pig?Pete: I'm an albino. I can't even go to the beach without exploding. There's no way I'm standing in front of an anything ray.Dr. Venture: Single parent. Those boys need me. I am their rock.Billy: Don't look at me. I have not lived enough, for I have not yet tasted the flower of a woman.Pete: What do you mean?Dr. Venture: Yeah, tasted a flower? Is that a direct metaphor?Pete: Cuz I don't take many trips down south myself.Billy: You guys are disgusting. No, I mean I haven't sampled the fruits of the fairer sex.Dr. Venture: What's with the poetry, Wordsworth? Just say it. Say, "I am a virgin."Pete: I knew it!Dr. Venture: Billy, that makes you the best candidate to take a ray blast. You have nothing to lose. You've never done anything. The way I look at it, it's not even murder. It's a very late abortion.Billy: Wait, give me 24 hours to experience love! Let me know the gentle caress of a woman, let me sleep in the shade of love's beau. I will return to you, I will return knowing the sweet taste-Pete: I vote Billy.Dr. Venture: Seconded. Okay virgin, get on the target.Prof. Richard Impossible: "You see, Dr. Venture, I found the piece your father hid in the foundation years ago. Then I thought about you in physics class. You were a daydreamer, a sass-mouth, and, not infrequently, a bit of a gigglepuss. Somehow I doubt twenty years of amphetamines and failure have done anything to improve that.''Prof. Impossible: "Please! This is important!''Sally Impossible: "What could be more important than your family, Richard?''Prof. Impossible: "Ssssssscience?''The Monarch: " (sighing) Jollyrancher 82, never get henchmen.''Jollyrancher 82: "You know, that's not my real name.''The Monarch: "Well, how was I supposed to know? I used my real name.''Jollyrancher 82: "I just thought, you know... "The Monarch," I thought you were into cosplay...''The Monarch: "Real name! And I am into costumed business, not costumed play."Dr. Killinger: "The Venture problem is very volatile. We must approach it with caution, but first we need to address other drastic issues. The floating cocoon is in bad need of..."#24: "The cocoon's fine! I think the problem is you!"#21: "He's right! Yeah, everybody just thinks you're sooo great, but you're just sooo not!"#24: "Yeah! Who do you think you are?"#21: "I mean, come on! This guy just waltzes in here with his huge baby-bearing hips and he starts changing everything."Dr. Killinger: "That's not fair. I never chose my figure."#21: "You can silence me but there will be others. Semper Fidelis Tyrannosaurus!''Dr. Killinger: "It's Sic Semper Tyrannis. You said, "Ever faithful terrible lizard."''#21: "I did? Cool.''Hank: If you're supposed to be our mom, then why have you got us tied up? People only do that when they want to kill us.Dean: Or hold us for ransom.Hank: Or touch us inappropriately.Dean: What?! When? That never happened-Hank: Sergeant Hatred? What, did you block that out? Oh no wait, you were passed out from the wine. Most of it was awful, trust me.Brock: "Yeah, he was just this guy... guy in a butterfly suit who got in over his head. And I could see it in his eyes that if I let him get away this one time he'd never come back...but then, I also thought...y'know...Kill 'im.''Shaman: "Quanto! (Begins to Mumble)"Shaman's Interpreter: "Wuh - one time, I am in the Amazon, on my canoe, and I see, swim, the dolphin, the, uh, the beautiful dolphin, so I slip out of my canoe, and I grab her, this...fish...and, uh, then I fucked it... the fish!"Brock: "The hell's that got to with anything?"Shaman: "Kayho Hadaile!"Shaman's Interpreter: "Hot dolphin!"Dream Hunter: "What is all this namby-pamby feel bad about good wet work bullshit?! You're beyond good and evil, Superman! You work for the government."Brock: "What about uhhh, humanity and empathy and all that garbage?"Dream Hunter: "Who cares? You're going to special ops heaven."Brock: "Really?"Dream Hunter: "Really! And it's god damned great! A regular G-Man Valhalla! There's trim and guns everywhere. We eat steak flavored clouds and poop secrets!"

Everyone say, 'Hi, buddy!'"Boys: "Hi, buddy!"Dr. Venture: "If you touch something that melts your fingers off, tell your buddy! If you get a face-full of burning hydrofluoric acid, it's your buddy who drags you to one of the many eye wash stations!"The Monarch: "I had true hatred with Venture. I didn't have to fake it! That sweet loathing just poured out of me whenever I saw his pathetic face. I just...I just wanted to kick his ass! I wanted to build a machine to kick his ass! I wanted to build an empire to house the machine TO KICK HIS ASS!"Henchman 24: "Then, by God, let's go take a dump in his pool!"Dr. Venture: This is gonna be one of those things, isn't it?Brock: Uh-huh.Dr. Venture: I mean, you get a bunch of short-fused, costumed idiots together in one room like this, and what do you think's gonna happen?

When you treat a young man like an adult, he acts like an adult.Brock: If he was an adult, I'd kick his ass.Orpheus: You can't stoop to their level.Brock: Yeah, that's true.

I could get another kid to beat him down![Brock runs away laughing]Orpheus: Not even close.Brock: Don't bother, I'm not even listening.Billy: Don't move, they can smell fear.Dr. Venture: Can they smell urine?Billy: That's like liquid fear.Tim Tom: A hit, huh? You want us to make him suffer? Or just end it quick and quietlike?Brock: No no no. Nothing permanent. Just give him a little taste of fear. And... I guess you can break something small. Like a toe.Tim Tom: We could take out his tongue.Kevin: With a knife.Tim Tom: Or remove his heart.Kevin: Yeah, with a knife.Tim Tom: A bigger knife.Kevin: Fucking knife!Brock: Yeah, you guys are... you're kinda creepy. I think this may be a stupid idea.JJ:: So it's a game? We... fake fight? That's ridiculous.The Monarch:: No, we sharpen our claws! It's like fencing. It's about the art of the fight.JJ:: Good! Well, I'm about to deliver my killing stroke. Then what?Doctor Girlfriend:: Then the Guild steps up their game. You throw a rock, they throw a knife.

We've been shot at, dipped in acid...Henchman 24: "Brock Samson hit me with a car. Drove right into my kidney. Here I am!"Henchman 21: "Yeah, we can walk across this floor and nothing would hit us. But then like this huge log would swing down and take your head off."Henchman 24: "Hey, here; what's your name?"Henchman 1: "Henchman number 1."Henchman 24: "See, you are nameless."Henchman 1: "I'm Scott Hall, my name is Scott Hall. Okay?"Henchman 24: "No, won't help."Henchman 21: "Yeah, now it's just pathos. So you're dying in my lap and I'm all 'Scott! Scott don't you quit on us! Don't you dare!!' "Henchman 24: "You just made your unavoidable death more pathetic."The Monarch: All right. Cut the chatter, it's game time. You all know your roles. Huddle up, huddle up!

Get out of the bathroom!Dean: I thought you were used to this.Dr. Venture: Dean, I remember when the Action Man would wake me up with a gun pointed to my head. He'd just hold it there and pull the trigger. I'd hear the click really loud because it was right against my forehead.Dean: So it echoed.Dr. Venture: Right, so it sounded like he snapped one of my teeth out. Click! Then he'd go, 'not today, Rusty. Not today.'Dean: Golly. And you took it because you had to?Dr. Venture: No Dean. I took it because I was Rusty Venture, boy adventurer.Action Johnny: "You're going to tell me that you didn't send your flunky to murder our therapist with a Vietnamese two-step Viper?"Dr. Z:"BAH!

We- we are staying in the car!Red Mantle: We haven't been outside in 30 years. I'm old and I'm afraid of everything.Dragoon: I'm afraid the streets are overrun with teenage gangs.Red Mantle: Teenagers are cruel and they will undoubtedly taunt us, because our trousers are not in style anymore.Dragoon: And we are two heads on one body. And that has never, ever been hip.Dr. Girlfriend: "Monstroso? That's what this is about? He's the king of the double cross. I mean, think about it, he's lawyer and a super villain.

Gathers: "Wipe their pink little minds and send them back home, like I told you."Brock: "They discover us every other week. I can’t keep doing that, its starting to make them buggy. Listen to this. Dean, what day is today?"Dean: (immediately) "Sagittarius."Brock: (slowly) "Good! Now Hank, what color is my tongue?"Hank: "It’s kind of... Wednesday! Like a light Wednesday."Col. Gathers: "Ohh, that poor woman has the saddest tits. Damn depressing."Brock: "Right? Yeah, they're like The Notebook sad."Col. Gathers: "Her tits are like "coming home from school and finding out that your old man ran over your cat" sad."Brock: "Mournful. She has mournful tits.

Get used to it.Ward: Side effects may include: nausea, constipation, headaches, insomnia, oily discharge, severe deja vu stiffness in joints, blurred vision or temporary blindness, diarrhea, loss of life, thrombosis, and rectal bleeding.Storm Front: How can you have diarrhea and constipation?Professor Impossible: Was loss of life on that list?Watch: Just a side effect. Now who's getting the shot?Phantom Limb: Okay, but you may have to give me the shot in my derriere. Needles can't penetrate my electro-impalpable limbs.Watch: Needles? Yeah, good one. Try huge spikes.Ward: They're wonderful and frightening and they go into the sides of your neck and they replace all your blood.Watch: You get all your blood back at the end of the summit. Unless the loss of life thing happens.

Inside of me, there's a woman screaming to be heard."Brock: "I once jerked off twelve times in one day just to see if I could."SPHINX Agent: "I had an erotic dream about Henry Rollins last night, and I'm straight as an arrow."Shore Leave: "Remember that smell I told you was the garbage? That was my ass. I had chicken tandoori for lunch."Col. Gathers: "What the hell happened here?"Agent Doe: "That's none of your concern, Mister Gathers."Col. Gathers: "That's Colonel Gathers to you, suit!"Agent Cardholder: "Oh, yeah? Well, in that case, I'm President Cardholder, and this is my associate, Emperor Doe."Agent Doe: "GOD Emperor Doe!"
