Quotes

Monster: This is going to be a great weekend, Robot.

Robot: You know, for once, I agree with you. It's a beauitful day, I'm with my best friend, what could go wrong?

(SWAT officer lands in front of them)

Officer: HANDS UP, SCUM BUCKET!

Robot: (fuming as he raises his hands) Well played, fate...

Officer: We got you surrounded!

Monster: (looks around) No, we're not.

(more SWAT officers and vehicles appear, surrounding them)

Monster: (happily) Okay, now we're surrounded!

Officer: You Are Under Arrest For First Degree Littering


Judge: Robot Default, you're accused of First Degree Littering. If guilty, you'll be sentence to...A SLAP ON THE WRIST!

Robot: Just a slap on the wrist? (beaming) Okay then! I guess I'm guilty!

Monster: (barges through doors) GUILTY OF BEING INNOCENT!

Judge and Robot: WHAT?!

Monster: I'm his lawyer! And if being innocent is a crime, then my friend is guilty! But if being guilty isn't a crime, and it is, then my friend is innocent!

(everyone looks at him in confusion)


(after the judge sets another trial for the next day)

Monster: We're looking forward to it, your honor! Because I have absolute faith in two things: my friend, and our justice system. Oh, and fairies! You can't tell there aren't fairies!


Loudmouth: You know what works even better? VIOLENT PROTESTING!
