Cowboy Bebop: The Movie (2001)

Steve Blum: Spike Spiegel

Quotes 

• Vincent : Why don't you shoot?

  Spike : What?

  Vincent : What's wrong? Lose your nerve? You started out so fearlessly. Go on. Pull the trigger.

  Spike : I don't think so. I blow the bounty if I blow you away.

  Vincent : I have no fear of death. It just means dreaming in silence. A dream that lasts for eternity.

  Spike : [sarcastically]  You're an original, aren't you?

• [fighting with Electra] 

  Spike : I love the kind of woman that can kick my ass.

• Spike : He was just all alone. He couldn't enjoy a game with anyone else. Like living in a dream... That's the kind of man he was...

• Vincent : What's your name?

  Spike : Spike... Spiegel...

  Vincent : I'll meet you at the end of this world.

• Laughing Bull : Know this Swimming Bird: This blue eye percieves all things conjoined. The past, the future, and the present. Everything flows and all is connected. This eye is not merely seen reality. It is touching the truth. Open the eye of truth... There is nothing to fear.

  Spike : Yea... I know what you mean.

• Old Woman : He called you a cowboy. What did he mean? What are you?

  Spike : Just a humble bounty hunter, ma'am.

• Spike : And you, you take way too long when you're taking a shit.

• Jet : Spike, if that hostage had been shot, what would you have done then?

  Spike : If it happens, it happens...

  Jet : Really... As usual, for a 125,000-Woolong criminal, there were too many risks involved. Bounty hunting is harder than just that. Before I teamed up with you, I lead quite a normal life.

• Rasheed : I don't recommend the Calabar beans. They are used to see if your wife is cheating on you. The innocent eat at once; they choke and spit them out. But the guilty eat cautiously, slowly, which makes the poison work. Soon, she is crying out in pain. That's how you can tell.

  Spike : Thanks, but I'm not married.

  Rasheed : Now that is true happiness.

• Spike : [fighting Electra, who seems a formidable opponent]  Are all the employees here like you? You got some pretty classy moves for a corporate girl.

• [Faye draws a picture of Vincent] 

  Faye : There you go!

  [everyone looks at the drawing] 

  Jet : That's really unique Faye! Is that a mugshot or your version of Picasso?

  Spike : [chuckles]  Hey I'll make you a deal. If anyone can catch him with that drawing, I'll pay you the bounty myself Faye!

  Faye : Fine, I'll just go catch him myself. You two can stay here and make your funny little jokes.

  [sarcastic laugh] 

  Jet : So ends another episode of "Wasting Time with Faye".

• Robber D : [Spike pulls a gun after being warned to drop the weapon, waving a gun in an old lady's face]  Don't you get it? I'm gonna SPLATTER GRANDMA!

  Spike : Well, that's a real shame. But, we're not cops and we're not from some charity organization. Sorry lady, we don't protect or serve. This is strictly business.

  Robber D : What?

  Spike : Guess you'll just have to chalk it up to bad luck.

  Robber D : [growls]  Cowboy scumbag!

• [there's nothing but noodles to eat] 

  Spike : Man shouldn't have to live on carbohydrates alone, complex or otherwise.

• [Spike picks up military jets pursuing him on the Swordfish's radar] 

  Spike : Oh, great. A bored little army.

  [the jets begin to fire] 

  Spike : Listen, I don't have time to screw around with you guys!

• Spike : [English version]  Excuse me Jett, you said three, not four.

  Jett : Disinformation is sometimes required for enemies as well as allies.

  Spike : Don't give me that art of war crap,

  [pointing to the thief] 

  Spike : and you, you take too long to take a shit.

• Elektra : [after finding Vincent]  Don't lay a hand on him!

  Spike : How about a foot?

• Spike : It's just that he was all alone. Always by himself. Never anyone to share the game. A man who lived in dreams, that's who he was.
