Glitch Quotes

	Unknown Episode: DG: [after hearing screaming] Did you hear that? Glitch: Yes... no.
	Unknown Episode: Cain: [entering tavern to meet the Seeker] I don't like the looks of this place. Why don't you guys wait outside? I'll cut the deal myself. DG: No, I think we should - [dwarf shoves his way between the group] - stick together. I feel very safe with you guys. Glitch: Really? I don't.
	Unknown Episode: Glitch: [watching Zero attacking Cain and his family] Even with half a brain, I can tell we gotta get out of here. [DG grabs a stick and runs toward them]
	Unknown Episode: DG: [seeing Glitch hanging from the ceiling] What are you doing... Glitch: up here? The little ANKLE-BITERS, thought it would be funny to keep me hanging around. Untie me, and I might have the last laugh. [DG hesitates] Come on doll, if mom and pop really are on the road to central city, you're falling further and further behind. DG: You know the way? Glitch: Sure, though, it's kind of hard to give directions from up here. Unless you have a better offer?
	Unknown Episode: DG: I'm DG. This is... Cain: I know, a head-case. Glitch: I have a proper name... and when I remember it I will tell you. DG: What's a head-case? Cain: It's what the state does to re-educate criminals. Remove their brains, and keep them trapped inside their own heads. Ain't that right, convict? Glitch: Whoa, I ain't no convict! [hesitates] And just in case I am, it was a bogus charge, a frame job, I'm sure of it!
	Unknown Episode: Glitch: I wasn't always like this you know. In my hay-day, I was the top dog's... right-hand man.
	Unknown Episode: Glitch: My name's Glitch, on account of sometimes my synapses don't fire right... sometimes my synapses don't fire right... DG: You just said that. Glitch: Did I? There you go, glitching again!
	Unknown Episode: Glitch: I think I invented it.
	Unknown Episode: DG: [referring to the device stuck in the wooden post] What is it? Glitch: A TDESPHTL. A tri-dimensional energy stored projected holographic time loop. Nifty little thing... Hey, I think I invented it...
	Unknown Episode: DG: Why would they take your brain? Glitch: Because of what I know.
	Unknown Episode: Cain: Look, nothing personal, put look at you. At the first sign of trouble you're just gonna cut and run. DG: Nothing personal, but when we found you, you were in a tin box! You don't know me. Come on Glitch, we'll find the way our selves. Cain: The way? The way leads through the fields of the Papay. Glitch: [Glitch stops] Papay? DG: [DG walks back] What? I've been tossed into a storm, trussed up by lawn gnomes, chased by mad men on horse back, how bad can Papays be? Cain: I've seen them gnaw a person in half in thirty seconds. Cain: Alright, Zipper-head keep your mouth shut, kid you stay behind me.
	Unknown Episode: DG: Do you wanna come closer to the fire? Raw: Shoulda left me to die. Glitch: Oh great, a basket-case!
	Unknown Episode: Raw: [about Cain] Brave man... good man... Tin Man... Glitch: Oh, I might have known you were a Tin Man, with that attitude! DG: What's a Tin Man? Glitch: It's what they call police in Central City. [hesitates] Or, at least, I think it is...
	Unknown Episode: Glitch: [to the angry cyborgs] We were just passing through... we were just passing through... we were just passing through... [Cain hits him and he stops]
	Unknown Episode: DG: Hey, you knew my mother. Glitch: I knew I wasn't an idiot! [to Cain] Or a convict!
	Unknown Episode: Glitch: [to Azkadellia, about DG] Leave her alone.
	Unknown Episode: Man in audience: Mystic Man, answer me this: What is the meaning of life? Mystic Man: That question is as timeless as the moons. We must seek to serve the forces of the universe in all our humanity, and all our humility. [Azkadellia's vapors are being sprayed] First, we must inhale the magic... Glitch: This is the man with all the answers? Mystic Man: ...and HOLD IT, HOLD IT... Glitch: He's out of his mind, literally! Mystic Man: ...AND YOU KNOW THE MEANING OF LIFE! [laughs]
	Unknown Episode: Cain: [after being chased by the Pahpays to the edge of a cliff] JUMP! Glitch: The fall might kill us! Cain: Well, they definitely will!
	Unknown Episode: DG: [at the Northern Island] We need to dig! Glitch: Dig? DG: [reciting, while digging with an ax] Daughter of light, came upon, a glistening white, mountain, frozen in time on a sea of ice. But above all else she knew, that this mountain, was more than it appeared. It was home!
	Unknown Episode: Cain: [jumping off a cliff] Alright, on three. One... Glitch: THREE!
	Unknown Episode: Glitch: [walking over to a piece of furniture] There is something so familiar about this... Glitch: No.
	Unknown Episode: Glitch: [about the girl in the mirror] That's Azkadellia. Marbles or not, evil like that you don't forget.
	Unknown Episode: Glitch: [happily] Hey, there's that guy that locked up Cain. Glitch: [scared] Oh no. Raw: We should go. DG: Not till I get my answers.
	Unknown Episode: Glitch: [to the dog] Which way? Left... or left?
	Unknown Episode: Glitch: You've been sleeping for hours... like a baby with his pacifier. Cain: I thought you were dead. Glitch: Ditto. You know, I may have saved you from hypothermia, but um, [holds up the horse toy] this is what saved your life. It stopped the bullet. Cain: DG? Glitch: Azkadellia. Cain: Raw? Glitch: Ah, I don't know I can't find him. Either they took him too, or he's dead. Or... Cain: Maybe he ran away. Glitch: You know you really should do something about that BITTER cynicism of yours Cain! Cain: Why? Someone's gotta keep your wide-eyed optimism in check. [silence] Hey, Glitch? Glitch: What? Cain: I owe you one. Glitch: [smiles] You know Cain, professional psychiatric help is only a crow's call away these days. I think someone like you with your issues with masculinity, and what we call it the boy scout syndrome...
	Unknown Episode: Glitch: You know, when I had a brain I was twice as scared as I am now. So that means that if I had no brain at all then I would be four times as brave then I was when I was brainy.
	Unknown Episode: Glitch: Hey, whoa, I ain't no convict! And just in case I am, it was a bogus charge! A-a frame job, I'm sure of it!
	Unknown Episode: Glitch: I'm not saying they called me 'Twinkle-toes' but I cut quite a rug... Oh, you can make a face Cain, but here was a time I was a terrific dancer. She may have taken my brain, but rhythm that comes directly from the... Cain: [interrupting] Do you have any bright ideas how to get in there? Glitch: I mean, I don't mind taxing my half a brain for DG, but just once I'd like someone to admire me for my rhythm. Which, as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, comes directly from the soul. [Cain gives him the look] You know, Cain, sometimes you make me feel just like those ladies at the dance, like I blend right in with the wallpaper... Cain: [looking at Longcoats] That's not a bad idea. Glitch: [surprised] Wanna dance? Cain: I'll lead, you follow.
	Unknown Episode: Cain: [after taking out several Longcoats] Your a deep well, Glitch. Glitch: It's all about rhythm.
	Unknown Episode: Raw: [pointing] A cabin. Glitch: Probably full of Longcoats. Cain: No, look at the smoke. Glitch: So? They lit a fire. Longcoats get cold too. Cain: It's blue.
