Quotes 

• Michael Knight : I thought you were one of those old type heroes, you know. The kind who just drove off into the sunset, secure in the knowledge that you could handle any situation that might arise.

  K.I.T.T. : I don't know if those old time heroes were so much. I mean they always drank sarsaparilla and never kissed the girl. Well what was all that about? Michael? Michael?

  [Michael is busy kissing the girl] 

• Michael Knight : [K.I.T.T. is in pieces, being rebuild from the ground up]  Hey pal, it's me, Michael...

  K.I.T.T. : [after a pause, quite weak]  Hello, Michael.

  Michael Knight : Hey, how ya doing, buddy? Ready for a couple of one-eighties, maybe a couple o' nineties, a little crash through a wall? Huh?

  [pause] 

  Michael Knight : I'm just kidding here.

  [another pause] 

  Michael Knight : K.I.T.T.?

  K.I.T.T. : I guess my humor mode needs a little more work.

• Michael Knight : [about Acid John]  He likes his manicures today, but he came up from the streets, and there's still plenty of dirt left under those fingernails.

• K.I.T.T. : Michael, Devon is calling.

  Devon Miles : [on video screen]  Hello Michael.

  Michael Knight : Hello yourself, if you'd waited a couple more minutes, we could talk face to face, we're almost back to the semi now.

  Devon Miles : Well, that's why I called you. I'm afraid I won't be there, I injured my back. And I don't want any cracks about falling off barstools, chasing blondes, slipping on banana peels or anything like that.

  Michael Knight : Somehow that image didn't occur to me.

• Michael Knight : [Michael pulls up outside the toxic waste dump at night time and sees armed guards]  You get the feeling they don't want company... .

  K.I.T.T. : More to the point, who'd want to visit?

• Dr. Von Vorman : [Michael, Bonnie and Dr Von Vorman are watching KITT on the test track who isn't performing well]  I was afraid of that.

  Michael Knight : What?

  Dr. Von Vorman : He's been hurt. It's not surprising he doesn't want to be hurt again.

  Bonnie Barstow : You mean... he's lost his nerve?

  Dr. Von Vorman : In layman's terms... yes.

  Bonnie Barstow : Maybe if I reformat the software... .?

  Dr. Von Vorman : Miss Barstow, I'm sorry. I'll shall have to recommend he be reclassified for light duty.

  Michael Knight : [Shocked]  Light duty?

  Dr. Von Vorman : A utility vehicle, perhaps. For recreational use. It's still a very fine automobile.

  Michael Knight : 'Very fine automobile'? KITT is the world's GREATEST automobile! What do you wanna do, turn him into a golf cart?

  Dr. Von Vorman : [Gestures at KITT who is struggling to drive straight during Ski Mode]  Look at him. He's trying to play the brave soldier for YOU, I suspect. But he cannot be trusted under pressure. He just doesn't have it anymore!

• 'Acid' John Byrock : [John is stuck in the acid pit]  Come on, get me out of here! What is this?

  Michael Knight : I believe it's called hazardous waste disposal.

  [to KITT] 

  Michael Knight : Wouldn't you agree, partner?

  K.I.T.T. : I most certainly would.
