Mystery Men quotes

Page 8 of 10

We've always been each other's greatest nemesises... uh, nemesee... wh-what's the plural on that?

[Wearily]

Nemeses.

Whatever. You're going to prison for life this time, Casanova. You see, here in Champion City we still do a fairly brisk trade... in justice.

I thought it was all about publicity and keeping your sponsors happy.

See, it's that kind of cynicism that I truly feel is starting to poison society.

Ah, the old Disco Room. Just as I left it.

You been locked up for twenty years, Casanova. A lot of things have changed since then.

It must have been hard for you, Tony, the way times and styles have changed... hearing the people say that disco is dead...

[Snapping]

Disco is not dead! Disco is LIFE!

Yes, Tony! That is the passion I remember! Stick with me, Tony, and you will dance again... when I rule this town.

So what's the name of this team? How about the Super Squad?

[Tony P and Tony C appear with gun-toting Disco Boys]

How about the Six Dead Guys in Their Stupid Costumes? No, no, no — the Magnificent Dead Guys. How about that?

Tony C

How about the Legendary Superfreaks?

Way too positive. They totalled our car.

Monica

What's your name?

D-do you mean my secret identity? 'Cause I couldn't...

Monica

No, I just mean your name.

My name. Ummm... wow. Okay... It's...Phoenix... Phoenix Dark... Dirk... Phoenix... Dark Dirk. I was christened Dirk Steel and then I changed it to Phoenix...

Monica

Forget about it. It's okay.

It's Roy! That's... that's my name. My... my real name's Roy.

Monica

Just. Be. Roy.

Oh yeah, well, maybe if we had a billionaire benefactor like Lance Hunt, then we could afford some advertising.

I think that's because Lance Hunt is Captain Amazing.

Oh, here we go.

Oh, don't start that again! Lance Hunt wears glasses. Captain Amazing doesn't wear glasses.

[Long-suffering]

He takes them off when he transforms.

That doesn't make any sense. He wouldn't be able to see!

(to The Bowler)

Do I know you?

(holds up the bowling ball)

You knew my father!

Cal

(whispering)

Carmine!

(louder)

Carmine

(confused)

Carmine...(realising) The Bowler?

Yep!

(mocking her)

You're Baby Bowler!

(annoyed)

You got a problem with that?

(teasing)

Hello! I'm the one that gave your daddy the shaft!

What do we got here?

Tony C

I think they're supposed to be jive superheroes.

Well, they made a big mistake coming to Casanova's place. [he draws a gun; the heroes snicker.] What's so funny?

That's it? That's your power? You have guns? Couldn't you be a little more creative than that?

Pardon the impertinence, guv'nor, but what the devil does a pistol have to do with disco?

Disco Boy

It's a Saturday Night Special.

Weak.

At best. [more Disco Boys arrive, armed with a variety of blunt instruments.]

Check out the guy with the pipe. What are you, the Disco Plumber?

There's no theme at all here, mates!

I mean, if you're gonna carry a chain, at least make it a gold chain, and that's just off the top of my head... [To Tony C] Yo, what's up, Tiger Lily?

Tony C

Top of your head, huh?
[The Disco Boys beat the heroes up]

Vic the publicist

I think right now we should focus on the positive. Tonight was good.

Yeah - you think so? 'Cause I was worried it was, um, I don't know... PATHETIC! "Amazing triumphs at a nursing home"? That's great copy, Vic.

Vic

Look, I'm a publicist, not a magician. You want big news, you have to have big fights. A superhero needs a supervillain. And thanks to you, we've got none left.

Then get... the... Death Man!

Vic

Death Man is dead.

Okay — Father Doom.

Vic

Life without parole. Apocalypta's doing fifty years. Armagezzmo's in exile. Baron von Chaos got the chair —

Really?

Vic

Casanova Frankenstein is locked up in a nut-house.

Casanova Frankenstein - now there was a supervillain! You know, he just... he's got those eyes, you know? I can't do it, but... and that voice! Such pure evil! The battles we used to have — extraordinary!

Vic

"Used to." That's the problem, Captain. "Used to."
