Menace of the Conqueror Caveman! (2009)

Tom Everett Scott: Booster Gold

Quotes 

• Batman : We'll enlist the crimefighter's best ally: the element of surprise.

  Booster Gold : [banging his head]  Ouch! Sorry.

• Batman : Bending legitimate scientific equipment to your evil will. You fiend.

  Kru'll : Batman!

  Booster Gold : And Booster Gold. Hero from the 25th century.

  Batman : [ignoring him]  That meteorite belongs to the public

  Kru'll : The rock is mine. I found it 10,000 years ago and I won't part with it again.

• Batman : You're that guy who uses his knowledge of the future to fight crime and make a quick buck. I'd never team up with someone in this for the glory.

  Booster Gold : In this for the glory? That hurts. Just a sec.

  [approaching Punch and Jewelee in a squad car] 

  Booster Gold : Hi. Great look. The media loves that whole jester theme, and I've been thinking an archenemy would really raise my profile.

  [sticking a business card into Punch's suit] 

  Booster Gold : When you get out, let's talk.

• Booster Gold : What kind of crime we busting tonight, partner?

  Batman : Trespassing. How did you track me here?

  Booster Gold : In the 25th century, the Batcave's a historical attraction. With a rollercoaster. In 400 years or so, I'm gonna hurk right up... there.

• Batman : Sorry, Punch and Jewlee, but you'll find there won't be much to laugh about behind prison bars.

  Booster Gold : Nice takedown, buddy. Bet that'll get us a front-page mention.

  Batman : Who are you?

  Booster Gold : Your new partner. Here's the pitch. The brave and the gold featuring Booster and Bats. The ultimate team-up. What do you think?

  [Batman walks away silently] 

  Booster Gold : Yeah, I love it, too.

• Kru'll : Just like the Aztec warriors, there is no quit in you. But they too eventually fell before me.

  Booster Gold : The guillotine. Retro. I dig it. But, dude, we shouldn't be enemies. We should be partners. You want an empire? I can help you build it. Radio, print, TV, and the Internet. Toy line, hello?

  Batman : Do you ever stop?

  Booster Gold : And we'll split it 50/50.

  [Kru'll begins to lower the guillotine blade] 

  Booster Gold : Whoa, whoa, whoa. 60/40.

  Kru'll : If you are the quality of hero the future has to offer, then I shall have no problem keeping the world under my boot heel.

  [as Batman picks the lock of his restraint, Booster uses his mini-Boostermobile to jam the guillotine blade] 

  Booster Gold : Ha! I knew the Boostermobile was good for something.

  [Batman pulls him out, and they turn to face Kru'll's warriors] 

  Booster Gold : You broke my buddy. I'm gonna break you.

• Booster Gold : [in the 25th century, he bumps into Kru'll while working as a security guard]  Excuse me.

  Kru'll : Wait. You remind me of somebody I met years and years ago.

  Booster Gold : Just a sec.

  [putting his fingers to his ear] 

  Booster Gold : Second floor's almost clear. Yeah? Tell me that when I'm famous.

  Kru'll : [recognizing him]  You!

• Batman : I'm glad we could work together, Booster.

  Booster Gold : Wow.

  Batman : My thoughts exactly. And there's a lesson to be learned. You were a hero because you ignored the glory and remembered what mattered most was...

  Booster Gold : Just a sec.

  [putting his fingers to his ear] 

  Booster Gold : Manny, call the toy company. I teamed up with Batman and guess what. We won! I know, huh? News crews? What do you mean there has to be a camera? Stupid 21st century media.

• Booster Gold : As you can see, the Booster Gold brand is highly marketable, and for the right price, I'd be willing to work with you guys on an action figure toy line.

  Trung : You're really a hero from the future?

  Booster Gold : That's a fact.

  [in a flash-forward, he's shown working as a museum security guard, sleeping on the job] 

  Booster Gold : I created this flight suit and a time-travel device to come here.

  [in another flash-forward, he's shown stealing the suit from a display case] 

  Trung : [unimpressed]  I'm sorry. We just can't sell a toy line around you, um, uh...

  Booster Gold : Booster. And have I mentioned my trusty robot sidekick here, Skeets, can transform into a giant insect? No, no, no, wait. A dinosaur.

  Trung : You don't need a sidekick. You need name recognition. Maybe if you teamed up with an A-list hero, someone like Batman...

  Booster Gold : [putting his fingers to his ear]  Just a sec. Hey, big blue! How's the cape hanging? What? No, I'm in a meeting. How about you try to handle this one on your own?

  [seeing them all looking at him] 

  Booster Gold : Not buying it, huh?

  [as they leave, he shows them a toy car] 

  Booster Gold : Wait, you haven't even seen the Boostermobile. Gold! Like Booster Gold. Ha, ha. Get it?

  [getting literally kicked out of the building] 

  Booster Gold : Ahh! Oof. Skeets, old buddy, you know what I gotta do?

  Skeets : I know what you should do, sir.

  Booster Gold : I gotta team up with Batman.

  Skeets : Or that.

• Booster Gold : What's this?

  Batman : [with a heavy sigh]  I've been tracking missing quantities of leutonium and a recent scientific discovery that's gone missing.

  Skeets : Ah, the stolen Greenland meteorite.

  Batman : Looks like a certain immortal caveman has risen again to conquer the world.

  Skeets : You know, sir, that immortal caveman.

  Batman : [Booster stares blankly]  Kru'll the Eternal?

  Booster Gold : Oh, yeah. The immortal caveman guy.

  Batman : [trying to contain his annoyance]  You should go.

• Booster Gold : Wait, I know him. Kru'll's still around in the future. I've even clashed with him once or twice.

  [in a flash-forward to his security guard job, he bumps into Kru'll in passing] 

  Booster Gold : [pleading]  Please, you gotta let me in on this.

  Batman : Not unless you have a way to track leutonic energy in all that 25th-century gear.

  Skeets : I run on a leutonium power cell, sir, and can scan for other sources.

  Batman : Okay. But you are not going to turn this into a marketing opportunity.

  Booster Gold : [putting his fingers to his ear]  Just a sec. Manny, my man. Line up a book deal and a movie, and we'll spin off the toy line from there. I'm in with Bats!

  [Batman scowls] 

• Kru'll : Once I find the leutonic energy I need, I will be unstoppable.

  Batman : You're out of luck, Kru'll.

  Booster Gold : [leaping into action]  It's hero time, Skeets. Make sure you get a photo.

• Kru'll : A supercollider is one aspect of particle physics that even a caveman can enjoy: smashing things against a wall. Before I kill you, Booster Gold, man of the future, tell me, does the world prosper under my rule?

  Booster Gold : Huh?

  Skeets : [Kru'll scoffs]  Way to keep the supervillain talking, sir.

• Kru'll : You broke the magnetic field? The power you'd need is unthinkable.

  Booster Gold : Ha. Skeets runs on a genuine 25th-century leutonium battery. Nothing like it in this time.

  Kru'll : No, there isn't.

  [as he blasts a pipe, the steam gives him cover to escape] 

  Booster Gold : He took Skeets.

  Batman : And the meteorite.

• Booster Gold : We gotta save him, Bats. Skeets is my best bud, my wingman. The only one I've ever been able to count on.

  Batman : Right now, he's counting on you, Booster.

  Booster Gold : We all know I'm not much of a hero.

  Batman : Maybe you've just never had anything worth fighting for until now.

• Skeets : I knew you would save me, sir.

  Booster Gold : I don't know what I'd do without you. 'Cause, you know, I need to make some calls and this ear bud's got, like, zero bars.

  Skeets : I'm on it, sir.
