Roy Conrad: Ben, Brother #12
Quotes
-
[first lines]
Ben : [narrating] Whenever I smell asphalt, I think of Maureen. That's the last sensation I had, before I blacked out: the thick smell of asphalt. And the first thing I saw when I woke up was her face. She said she'd fix my bike. Free. No strings attached. I should have known then that things are never that simple. Yeah, when I think of Maureen I think of two things: asphalt... and trouble.
-
Ben : You don't have much choice when trouble's riding your back so tight it makes the leather squeak. Sometimes you outsmart it, sometimes you outfight it, and sometimes you just have to outrun it... full throttle.
-
Ben : WARNING: Do not play in or around dumpster. Do not kick dumpster. Do not sleep in dumpster. Usage of this dumpster for the disposal of human remains, may be a violation of local health ordinances.
-
Ben : [Approaches Emmet in The Kickstand, who is sitting at a table playing Five-Finger Fillet with a knife] I can do that.
Emmet : Not gonna happen.
Ben : Lemme show you how to do that.
Emmet : Not gonna happen.
[Ben repeats the offer four more times]
Emmet : Only if it'll shut you up!
[stabs the knife into the table]
Ben : Hmmm...
[completes two passes across his hand flawlessly]
Ben : Cool!
[Emmet snatches the knife back and keeps playing]
-
Ben : [Malcolm and Ben are having great time at the bar] But, Malcolm, isn't that illegal?
Malcolm Corley : Not back then it wasn't.
[They both laugh]
Ben : So who do you ride with these days?
Adrian Ripburger : [Ripburger suddenly walks in] He rides with me. Although I'm sure he would much rather be riding with your little club.
Malcolm Corley : I told you to wait out in a limo, Ripburger.
Adrian Ripburger : I thought you might like some help with your sales pitch, sir.
Ben : Sales pitch?
Adrian Ripburger : Yes, we've come here today to offer you and your men employment. Mr. Corley requires an escort to the annual Corley Motors shareholders meeting.
Ben : Does this look like an escort service to you?
Adrian Ripburger : You would be well compensated for your time, of course.
Ben : Not interested.
Adrian Ripburger : It's fairly obvious that you could use the money...
Ben : Listen, I said we're not for rent. The Polecats are not goons for hire.
Adrian Ripburger : Not even if it were Malcolm Corley's dying wish?
Malcolm Corley : RIPBURGER! THAT DOES IT. I'M GONNA...
Ben : Hold on there, Malcolm. If you don't mind, I'd like to step outside with Mr. Ripburger for a little chat.
Adrian Ripburger : Excellent idea!

Malcolm 'Old Man' X. Corley : [Corley has been mortally wounded by Ripburger] Ben. I guess Ripburger couldn't wait for natural causes. Just like him to hit a man when his fly's down
[Corley coughs]
Ben : Ripburger did this to you.
Malcolm 'Old Man' X. Corley : Yeah, he knew I was dying. And he knew that my will would put him out of a job.
[Corley grabs Ben's jacket]
Malcolm 'Old Man' X. Corley : He wants to take over Corley Motors, Ben. Sell it off to foreigners. Lay off workers. Start making minivans. Do you understand me? Minivans!
[Corley lets go of Ben]
Malcolm 'Old Man' X. Corley : Oh... You gotta' hurt him for me, Ben. Promise me you'll hurt him bad.
Ben : I promise.
Malcolm 'Old Man' X. Corley : [Corley's coughing worsens] I want my daughter to take over the company.
Ben : You have a daughter.
Malcolm 'Old Man' X. Corley : Yeah, and she's a real mechanical genius, Ben. Rebuilt her first carburettor when she was four. Eh... I used to call her the Diapered Dynamo...
[Corley coughs one last time]
Malcolm 'Old Man' X. Corley : Find my daughter, Ben. Find Maureen...
[Corley dies]
Ben : [surprised, because Maureen fixed his bike after he crashed it] Maureen!
-
Ben : You know what might look better on your nose?
Quohog : What?
Ben : [Ben grabs Quohog by his nose ring and slams him down on the bar] The bar.
[Quohog struggles to get free]
Ben : Now, don't mess around with me.
Quohog : Alright! Alright! I got your keys but I don't know nothing. They had guns. They told me to stall you as long as possible.
Ben : Why?
Quohog : I don't know! I don't know! I overheard them say something about an ambush up the road.
Ben : What else?
Quohog : Nothing! Nothing! Look man... here are your keys, alright?
[Quohog puts them on the bar, Ben pockets them and then he releases Quohog who stands erect]
Quohog : Oh, er... someone did say something about killing you and making it look like an accident.
Ben : They didn't do too good of a job there. But why ambush the Polecats? I'd better get moving.
-
Ben : You know any way around the Poyahoga Gorge?
Malcolm 'Old Man' X. Corley : Around it? It's miles and miles long, Ben. What's the matter? Don't like bridges?
Ben : It blew up.
Malcolm 'Old Man' X. Corley : Ooooh! Sorry I missed that!
-
Ben : What if they search the back and find my bike?
Emmet : It's buried under a pile of concentrated fertilizer powder. No one's gonna dig through that crap. Now yer gonna ride in the engine compartment.
Ben : The engine compartment?
Emmet : Hey, I smuggle stuff in there all the time and most of it's worth more than you!
-
[the player clicked to punch or kick the vultures]
Ben : Later, hopefully.
-
[Ben just ended up killing everybody by crashing into the gorge]
Ben : Damn, let me try that again.
-
[referring to The Vulture's beat-up airplane]
Ben : I thought you said this thing couldn't move!
Suzy : I said it couldn't fly, I never said it couldn't taxi!
-
Ben : I may lie, and I may steal, and I may rough some people up from time to time. But it's all for a good cause: Self Preservation.
-
Ben : That's what having a regular job will do to you.
-
Ben : Not with my box of bunnies.
-
Ben : [referring to sculptures made from junk] I don't collect art. And I also don't collect whatever that is.
-
Horrace, Corley Motors Merchandise Salesman : [Ben is about to punch Horace out of annoyance] I got a button under my toe that's wired directly into Corley's alarm system! 'Course I could be lyin' but the question is: Do you feel lucky?
Ben : Lately, no.
-
Ben : I'm looking for a good souvenir
Horrace, Corley Motors Merchandise Salesman : Well, good souvenirs is what I got! So what can I fix ya up with?
Ben : [Referring to the mascot toy bunny] Something small, furry and yellow
Horrace, Corley Motors Merchandise Salesman : Sorry, this is the only set of teeth I got!
[laughs and belches]
Horrace, Corley Motors Merchandise Salesman : Dang, there goes another one!
-
Maureen : [Ben climbs down the side of Ripburger's truck] Careful, Ben!
Adrian Ripburger : [Ripburger shoots at Ben and misses] I'm taking you and your friends with me, Ben!
Ben : All you're taking is the wrong kind of medication!
-
[as Ripburger flees in a truck]
Ben : Run, Ripburger... when it's time to follow we'll just follow the shiny trail.
-
Ben : The weapons you pick up along the way help. At least they help you do less talking.
-
Horrace, Corley Motors Merchandise Salesman : So, what can I fix you up with?
Ben : [Looks at an RC car] How about that little car?
Horrace, Corley Motors Merchandise Salesman : It's small, but it's not cheap my friend! You best take it out for a test drive to make sure. Something else?
Ben : Bunnies, and plenty of 'em!
Horrace, Corley Motors Merchandise Salesman : You want bunnies?
[Looks at a large box of wind-up toy bunnies]
Horrace, Corley Motors Merchandise Salesman : I got yer bunnies! How much ya got on you?
Ben : Uhh... can I just take them out for a test drive?
Horrace, Corley Motors Merchandise Salesman : I don't think you have the commitment that's required for a Corley Bunny Value-Pack, sorry son!
-
Ben : [Approaches a window in Mo's old bedroom] This must be the window Maureen stared out of as a young girl, dreaming of her life repairing toasters.
-
Ben : Ever heard of this place called "Uncle Pete's Mink Ranch"?
Bartender : I remember there used to be some sorta weasel plantation or something up the road.
Emmet : Down Highway 9, on the other side of them damn roadblocks. I used to pick up mink meat there real cheap and sell it to school lunch programs.
[laughs]
Emmet : That was a good scam.
-
[last lines]
Ben : Look, Mo... You're in a different league now. You shouldn't be hanging out with the likes of me anymore.
Maureen : But, Ben -
[phone rings and Maureen sighs]
Maureen : Just a second!
[picks up]
Maureen : Hello? What? No, no, no, that's crazy! Is he nuts? Look, move the meeting up to five and tell the plant foreman that I'm coming over personally to inspect those parts. I know... I know! That's what I told him -
[sees Ben has left the car and sighs]
Maureen : Excuse me? What was that last part? No, no, no. That alloy was flawed to begin with. Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah! Good, great.
-
Ben : [alternate dialogue if Ben doesn't talk to Miranda before Maureen finishes fixing his bike] Mo's almost done with my bike... maybe there's a chance I can stop the ambush...
Miranda : Ambush? Really? Where?
Ben : Somewhere between here and Corville...
Ben : [Miranda sneaks into her car and drives away] ... My crew is escorting some VI...
Ben : ...Thanks for the lift. Now I got a quote for you.
Maureen : [From inside her shack] Alright! Here she comes!
