Quotes8

  • Dr. Heller: If you're gonna bust into that mansion, you're gonna need more than a station wagon.
  • Mr. Furious: At the auto yard, there's this old Herkimer Battle Jitney. Sally's always telling me to junk it!
  • Dr. Heller: Wait! You have a Herkimer Battle Jitney? That's the finest nonlethal military vehicle ever made!
  • The Shoveller: Watch it, Spleen, you're going to kill someone with that thing!
  • Dr. Heller: Oh, no, no, no. All these weapons are completely non-lethal.
  • The Bowler: Wow. How wonderfully eccentric while simultaneously being a complete waste of our time. Good day, sir. I say good day.
  • Dr. Heller: It's a psychofrakulator. It creates a cloud of radically-fluctuating free-deviant chaotrons which penetrate the synaptic relays. It's concatenated with a synchronous transport switch that creates a virtual tributary. It's focused onto a biobolic reflector and what happens is that hallucinations become reality and the brain is literally fried from within.
  • Dr. Heller: That's a high-temperature fabric adhesive liquid projector, based on simple dry-cleaning technology. You aim that at a guy, and I'll tell you something: his clothes get so tight he can't even breathe. I can trick that out with a cIamshell hoIster. Comes with a Ieather carrying-case. It's got a wad cutter, and a full warranty.
  • The Shoveller: And what do you call this?
  • Dr. Heller: Careful, careful, that's a Blame Thrower!
  • The Shoveller: A Blame Thrower? Oops.
  • [He accidentally activates it]
  • The Shoveller: Oh, I'm sorry!
  • [Suddenly the team breaks out into screaming cross-talk as they blame each other for trivia. 'I'm sorry if I smell all the time,' etc. Heller comes to their help and powers the Thrower down]
  • The Spleen: I'm sorry.
  • The Bowler: I'm sorry.
  • [Spleen leans over for a hug, but Bowler waves him away with an admonitory finger]
  • The Bowler: No, no. No. No no no. No.
  • The Shoveller: Doctor, you *are* a genius.
  • Dr. Heller: That's what the card says.
  • [the team are working on the Herkimer Battle Jitney to prepare it for battle]
  • Dr. Heller: It's a process which results in an accelerated flow of electrons that creates such a powerful magnetic force.
  • Invisible Boy: So this is, basically, like a huge electromagnet.
  • Dr. Heller: Well, actually, it's an electro-nuclear-magnet. It's the next inevitable phase.
  • Dr. Heller: [On the couch watching TV News of the action] Did that frakulator work or what? What's the deal there?
  • [first lines]
  • Dr. Heller: [offering an old lady candy at the Senior dance] Would you like something sweet?
  • Old Lady: [impressed] Oh!
