Buckaroo Banzai quotes
Page 2 of 5{As New Jersey and Reno are making their way through the lab, New Jersey notices a watermelon held in a pneumatic compression device}
Why is there a watermelon there?
Reno Nevada {after a pause} I'll tell you later.
{New Jersey and Buckaroo are in an operating room, performing brain surgery}
See, this is the part where for me it started to look like a problem. You know, I wanted to sacrifice the Precentral vein to order to get some exposure, but because of this guy's normal variation I got excited and all of a sudden I didn't know whether if I was looking at the Precentral vein or one of the internal cerebral veins or the vein of Galen or the Basilar vein of Rosenthal. So on my own, me, at this point I was ready to say, "That's it. Let's get out."
See, you can check your anatomy all you want, and even though there may be normal variation, when you get right down to it, this far inside the head, it all looks the same. {pause} No, no, no, no. Don't tug on that. You never know what it might be attached to.
A battle won is a battle which we will not acknowledge to be lost.
A fool can throw a stone into the water which ten wise men cannot recover.
A thousand pities cannot undo one thoughtless act.
Asking is a polite way of demanding.
Be cool, but care.
Buckaroo, I don't know what to say. Lectroids? Planet 10? Nuclear extortion? A girl named "John"?
Damn John Whorfin and the horse he rode in on!
EVIL, PURE AND SIMPLE, FROM THE 8TH DIMENSION! GET 'EM!
Excuse me, Mr. President. Time is short. In order to prevent John Whorfin's escape, my comrades are at this moment takin' up a geostationary position over New Jersey. De situation is explosive!
Hellooo, Mr. Secretary! {finger flex}
Hey, hey, hey -- don't be mean. No need to be mean. 'Cause, remember: no matter where you go... [pause] there you are.
History is'a made at night! Character is what you are in the dark!
