Genre Sci-Fi,
Allianora: [the Official steps into the padded cell] [without even looking at him] Allianora: Before we start, I'm totally inoculated against the "Alice in Wonderland" technique, as well as the Wexler-Mendelson sensory deprivation. And please don't waste my time with the Stemler-Rochet debilitary. Okay?
Darien Fawkes: They say necessity is the mother of invention. And when the necessity is survival, she can be one mean mother. Of course, it is her child, invention, who is the really dangerous one.
Darien Fawkes: Leo Tolstoi , he once observed that 'All happy families resemble one another, but each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way'. Which made my family about as unique as it gets. Eh, what little was left of it.
Darien Fawkes: Time out! How'd you know I was here? Thug: My spidey sense was tingling.
[Darien is sick] Darien Fawkes: Those three wise men known as The Beastie Boys have been known to say "Let's get ill!" [sneezes] Darien Fawkes: Screw them.
Darien Fawkes: What's her name anyway? Robert Hobbes: "The", last name "Keeper"
Darien Fawkes: I'm trying to make the cover of Lab Rat Monthly.
Darien Fawkes: A babe named Princess Diana once said that 'If men had to have babies, they would only have one'. Truer words were never spoken.
Robert Hobbes: I have met three presidents. I have captured terrorists. I deserve to die in action, Eberts, not just to be filed away! Albert Eberts: What you regard as inconsequential dental forms are in fact more, much more. Robert Hobbes: Oh God. Albert Eberts: They are in fact symbols, symbols of America. When all the world will little note, nor longer remember what we have done today in these hallowed halls, I tell you this with no degree of uncertainty that forms filed in triplicate are the very foundation of democracy. Why do we file, Robert, why? One word... Freedom.
Darien Fawkes: There's an old saying: "Every man is a genius until he opens his mouth." I decided to save Hobbes the trouble.
Darien Fawkes: I'm going mute as we speak.
Albert Eberts: I couldn't help but notice that mark on your chin. Robert Hobbes: Oh, right there. Yeah. Uh-huh. Bar fight in Madrid. A couple of Basque separatists took exceptions to my political views. Of course, I may have said something about soccer being the world's most boring sport. Albert Eberts: Zero-to-zero after four hours? I fail to understand its appeal.
Darien Fawkes: I've learned a lotta things since I started working with Bobby Hobbes. The names of all the most popular anti-depressants for starters.
Darien Fawkes: You gotta fix me. The Keeper: Did you break yourself already?
Darien Fawkes: The Scottish philosopher Balfour said that destiny is the scapegoat we make responsible for our crimes. He was probably right, too, but I bet he was real dull at parties.
Darien Fawkes: A lady once asked famous painter and momma's boy James Whistler if he thought genius was hereditary. His answer was basically, 'I don't know. Never had any kids.'
Darien Fawkes: A schmuck named Nietzsche once wrote: 'Anything that's done out of love is beyond good and evil.' Now, here's the thing: I love my job. So what does that make me? My feeling always was, good and evil could kiss my ass. But one night... well, they kinda got together and bit me on it.
Darien Fawkes: You're in the spy business and you don't have a safe house? The Official: It was either a safe house or the electric bill.
[Voice-over during theme] Darien Fawkes: There once was a story about a man that could turn invisible. I thought it was only a story until it happened to me. You see, there's this stuff called quicksilver that bends light. My brother and some scientists made into a synthetic gland and that's where I come in. You see, I was facing life in prison, so we made a deal, they put the gland in my brain, I walk free. The operation was a complete success, but that's where everything started to go wrong.
Darien Fawkes: From now on, the glass is half full. The Keeper: Much better. Darien Fawkes: Unforunately it's filled with blood.
[pointing a gun at his head] Darien Fawkes: No one move, or the gland gets it!
The Keeper: When you're invisible, the only one really watching you is you. Darien Fawkes: Wow. How about you print that out and put it on a key chain for me.
Darien Fawkes: By the way, I want my tombstone to say, "Too late, he's already dead." You know, just in case more people show up wanting to screw my life over.
