Dick Quote #1193
Quote from Dick in Episode I: The Baby Menace
Dick: So... tell me how you got started in journalism. [picks up an artefact]
Ken Fretts: Oh, I was working as a freelance photographer in Phoenix. Just so happened a movie was being shot. [Dick picks up a fire iron] It was one of the Baldwin brothers. It was- What's that?
Dick: This is a, uh, a poker. There's a fireplace in this office, and this poker is proof. Your story fascinates me. Which Baldwin brother was it?
Ken Fretts: I dunno. It wasn't the famous one, the one who married the blonde. Not the one who hit the photographer, thank god. [Dick grabs a length of a telephone cord] But I got a picture of him. Sold it to one of those slick magazines- [telephone falls] What the hell are you doing?!
Dick: Okay, scoop! I'm gonna level with you. You've gotta leave town.
Ken Fretts: What?!
Dick: Look, there's no time for games. Here is... $32 and a Chicken Delicious coupon. Don't look back.

Sally: You disobeyed orders, mister.
Dick: I couldn't do it.
Sally: Fine. I'll kill him myself.
Dick: You can't kill him. You're the High Commander.
Sally: So?
Dick: High commanders are forbidden to kill. They're considered upper management.
Sally: Fine. I hereby make myself security officer.
Dick: So you're security officer and High Commander?
Sally: Okay. You're High Commander. I'm gonna go kill that guy.
Dick: Got it. Oh, and by the way, my first order as High Commander is that you shall not kill that reporter.
Sally: No! Then I make myself High Commander again-
Dick: Uh, uh, uh. Can't do that, Lieutenant.
Sally: Oh, you had this planned all along!
Dick: That's why I'm High Commander. And, no, I didn't!

Harry: It... came... out!
Dick: Is it a purple tube?
Harry: Well, it's purple, and it's slimy, and it's got a hose.
Tommy: A hose?! Oh, great. It's a mutant!
Dick: All right. We'll kidnap him and hide him. When he's a teenager, we'll set him free. Then if he's really messed up, we can blame it on television.
