7 scenes
Jimmy Kimmel
[On television; referring to Abe Sapien]

And what about, what about this guy? Walking around with a toilet seat on his head.

[Laughs]

A toilet seat!

Abe
[Defensive]

It's quite obvious it's a breathing apparatus!

Hey, I think we gotta lose the garbage truck. Sends out the wrong signal. [Laughs at television]

Abe

Oh, you think that's our problem? Transportation? Hah.

Krauss
[Krauss speaks with a German accent]

Damen und Herren, Johann Krauss at your service.

Abe
[Whispers to Hellboy]

I like him.

[With the others in the meat-locker]

To wage his war, my brother needs this. [Holding the crown piece and cylinder] The final piece of the crown of BethMora and this map to the location of the Golden Army chamber.

Krauss

The Golden Army. The harbingers of death, the unstoppable tide–

[Under his breath]

Howdy Doody.

Krauss

Your Highness, if you hand the crown piece over to us–

No. Where it goes, I go. My father died to uphold the truce with your world. We must honor his noble intentions.

Abe

The lady is in dire danger.

Krauss

I take is your are vouching for her, Agent Sapien?

Abe

Most emphatically, yes.

Krauss

Even so– I am sorry, but we simply cannot assume such responsibility on our own.

[Getting in Johann's face]

Lady just lost her father, what more do you want?

Krauss

You may not care, but there are procedures, rules, and little handbooks that–

She's coming with us. You got that, gasbag?

(offended)

What– what did you call me?!

(from behind the group)

You! You will pay for what happened to my friend down there.

(Turning to face him, sarcastically)

Yeah, right. You take checks?

(Enraged)

Demon. Born from a womb of shadows, sent to destroy their world, and you still believe you belong?

Are we going to talk all night? Because I'm really sleepy.

Abe
[While putting his ear to the library door, Hellboy overhears a faint soft rock song playing on the other side; he enters and the song is different, now classical]

Oh, hello, Red. Well, you're up late.

What are you listening to?

Abe

Oh, uh, Vivaldi. Il cimento dell'armonia. I particularly like the last–

Hey, hey. What's that? [Referring to the item in Abe's hand]

Abe

Um, just a remote. [Hellboy gestures at the hand behind Abe's back] Oh, uh– [Reveals a CD] this? Yes, um–

–"Popular Love Songs." Wh–? [takes a moment to realize] Oh, Abe. You fell for the Princess?

Abe
[sighs]

She's– she's like me. A creature from another world.

You need to get out more.

Abe

She's alone in the world. I wanna help her. I need to care for her.

You're in love. Have a beer.

Abe

Oh, my body's a temple.

Well, now it's an amusement park.

Abe

No, no, no. The glandular balance of–

Just shut up and drink it, would you? [Abe sighs and takes the beer] What track?

Abe

Eight.

"Can't– Smile– Without You."

Abe

I know.

Yep, I'm gonna need a beer, too.

Abe

Well, see, I love this song. And I can't smile– or cry. I think I have no tear ducts. [Presses a button on the remote and "Can't Smile Without You" begins to play on the stereo]

I wish Father were here. He'd know what to tell you– us.

Radio

You know I can't smile without you.

Abe
[Singing faintly]

I can't smile without you. I can't laugh and I can't sing. I'm finding it hard to do anything.

Hellboy & Abe Sapien

You see, I feel sad when you're sad.

Woooo.

Hellboy & Abe Sapien

I feel glad when you're glad. If you only knew what I'm going through, I just can't smile without you. You came along, just like a song. And brightened my day. Who'd have believed that you were part of a dream?

Abe
[After starting the plane, Abe meets up with Hellboy and Liz.]

We need to leave now, before they run our clearance upstairs.

Krauss
[Walks up to Hellboy, Liz, and Abe]

Guten Abend, meine Freunde. (Translation: "Good evening, my friends.") Do you have authorization to take that plane?

Liz
[Takes her gun out of her holster]

You're not gonna stop us, Johann.

Krauss
[Stops walking]

On the contrary, I've been giving it some thought, and we should be able to save Agent Hellboy.

Krauss
[Krauss throws his red valvet bag to Abe. Abe catches it.]

You say I'm not human anymore, but you are wrong.

Krauss
[Abe shakes two rings out of the bag.]

I understand you pain all too well. A long time ago, I lost the woman I loved. And that was, in fact, the source of my present misfortune.

Krauss
[Abe picks a ring up and looks at it.]

I will tell you about it one day. But for now, the tactical advantage is ours. Consider this, the prince lacks the crown piece, and without it, his army poses no threat.

Liz

So we have clearance, then?

Krauss

Agent Sherman, Liz, screw ze clearance! We will take zat plane!
[Liz smiles.]

You're here. So, I assume you brought the remaining piece.

Krauss

No, we didn't, but we should discuss–

I'm not addressing you, Tin Man. Abraham.

[Whispers to self]

Abraham?

[Abe walks forward to face Prince Nuada.]

My sister is well–

Abe?

As I promised, so.

[Speaking Gaelic; subtitles]

Don't do it.

[Abe reveals the crest of the Golden Army crown to Nuada.]

What the hell are you doing?!

Abe

You would do the exact same for Liz.

Krauss

Agent Sapien, NO!
[Abe throws the crest to Prince Nuada. Prince Nuada catches it.]

What's going on? What's going on?

I quit. [Hands over his belt and weapons]

What? Are you serious?

Liz

Looks that way doesn't it? [Gives Manning her belt and weapon]

What's wrong with you? You can't all just quit.

Abe
[Hands over his belt and weapons & pats Manning on the cheek]

Watch us.

[Comes back]

On second thought– [Takes his massive 'Samaritan' revolver] –I think I'll keep this.

Come on. Come on! Johann, they can't do this. Stop them.

Krauss

Dr. Manning, suck my ectoplasmic schwanzstucker! [Leaves with the others]
