Quotes18

  • Spike Spiegel: Hunger is the best spice they say.
  • Spike Spiegel: Hey, Jet, did you know that there are three things that I particularly hate?
  • Jet Black: Really?
  • Spike Spiegel: Kids... animals... and women with attitudes...
  • Jet Black: Oh?
  • Spike Spiegel: So tell me, Jet, why do we have all three of them neatly gathered in our ship?
  • Spike Spiegel: Look at my eyes, Faye. One of them is a fake because I lost it in an accident. Since then, I've been seeing the past in one eye and the present in the other. So, I thought I could only see patches of reality, never the whole picture. I felt like I was watching a dream I could never wake up from. Before I knew it, the dream was over.
  • [the series' final line]
  • Spike Spiegel: BANG.
  • Spike Spiegel: Whatever happens, happens.
  • Faye Valentine: Why do you have to go? Where are you going? What are going to do, just throw your life away like it was nothing?
  • Spike Spiegel: I'm not going there to die. I'm going to find out if I'm really alive. I have to do it, Faye.
  • [Session #8, during the Preview of Session #9: Jamming With Edward]
  • Ed: Ed will introduce Ed. Full name - Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky the 4th.
  • Spike Spiegel: That's a long name.
  • Faye Valentine: Who the hell's this?
  • Ed: Ed made up that name for Ed, isn't it cool?
  • Spike Spiegel: If you made it up, how can you be the 4th?
  • Julia: It was raining that day as well.
  • Spike Spiegel: And so you didn't come because of the rain?
  • Julia: I was supposed to kill you. It was all set up. If I had, I would have been free.
  • Spike Spiegel: So why didn't you? You chose to be hunted. Why?
  • Julia: Why did you love me?
  • Spike Spiegel: Uh, listen Jet. You said "bell peppers and beef." There's no beef in here. So you wouldn't really call it "bell peppers and beef," now would you?
  • Jet Black: Yes, I would.
  • Spike Spiegel: Well, it's *not*!
  • Jet Black: It is when you're broke!
  • Frog: This is the stairway to heaven. You know that, don't you?
  • Spike Spiegel: Obnoxious little frog.
  • Jet Black: When you and I first met, you told me something. You said that you had died once, that you had seen death. Why can't you just let it go? Forget the past.
  • Spike Spiegel: There was a woman, first time I'd found someone who was truly alive. At least, that's what I thought. She was... the part of me I'd lost somewhere along the way, the part that was missing, that I'd been longing for.
  • Julia: It's all... a dream...
  • Spike Spiegel: Yeah... just a dream...
  • Vicious: So you are finally awake. I told you before, Spike... that I am the only one who can kill you.
  • Spike Spiegel: I'll return those words back to you, Vicious.
  • Vicious: Either way, we were destined to end up like this.
  • Spike Spiegel: I'm not a criminal. Oh that makes me seem even more like a criminal, doesn't it?
  • Jet Black: You think it's all right to leave them alone?
  • Spike Spiegel: You worried about her?
  • Jet Black: I just thought that she might let him go.
  • Spike Spiegel: Does she have that much sympathy in her heart?
  • Jet Black: Women as insistent as her tend to be the ones who get emotionally swayed by their exes.
  • Spike Spiegel: Is that so?
  • Jet Black: Women don't work on reason.
  • [after finishing up her flashback to Ein]
  • Faye Valentine: Spike! How long have you been listening for?
  • Spike Spiegel: Too long. Your story needs editing.
  • Vicious: You should see yourself. Do you have any idea what you look like right at this moment, Spike?
  • Spike Spiegel: What?
  • Vicious: A ravenous beast. The same blood runs through both of us. The blood of a beast who wanders, hunting for the blood of others.
  • Spike Spiegel: I've bled all that kind of blood away.
  • Vicious: THEN WHY ARE YOU STILL ALIVE?
  • Spike Spiegel: [muffled by bandages] You sing off-key.
  • [Faye gets mad, then decks Spike offscreen]
