Rick Jones: Beelzebub Preposteror, Maurizio di Mauro

Quotes 

• [Mauriczo is practicing dancing while Jacob is directing him] 

  Jacob Scribble : And one, and two, and one, and two, and- More graceful! More graceful!

  [Maurizio falls over backwards. Jacob bursts out laughing] 

  Maurizio di Mauro : Easy for you to say. Can't you see you made me lose my concentration? Hmph. Now I'm hungry.

  Jacob Scribble : You know, missing a step can happen to anyone. It's not that big a deal.

  Maurizio di Mauro : I didn't miss a step. I just tripped.

• Jacob Scribble : Quick, we must get to Auntie Noah's.

  Maurizio di Mauro : What? A-and leave all that milk? I mean, there's no point crying over it, right? You think I could just-?

  [Jacob glares at Mauricio. Mauricio laughs nervously, gives Jacob an "Or, maybe not" smile and walks on after him with a "You're no fun" look on his face] 

• Maurizio di Mauro : I think of other things besides food, my friend. Like my talent. And since it seems we're going to have the matters elsewhere for a while, I should really be able to perfect my tapdancing show.

  Jacob Scribble : Oh, no, not that! That's really too depressing.

• [Mauricio and Jacob look for Maggot's room in the hospital, but accidentally wander into the room of a woman lying on a hospital bed, crying hysterically] 

  Maurizio di Mauro : Obviously, it's not Maggot's room. What's the plan?

  Jacob Scribble : Let's get out of here, now.

  [They start to tiptoe out of the room, but Mauricio falls on his face. The woman sees the cat and screams] 

  Woman : A cat! It brings bad luck!

  [Mauricio darts out of the room after Jacob] 

  Jacob Scribble : You could be so clumsy sometimes.

  Maurizio di Mauro : You're the one who picked the wrong room, my friend.

• [At the zoo, Mauricio takes the time to dance] 

  Jacob Scribble : Mauricio, do you really think this is the time to dance?

  [Mauricio stops dancing and looks at Jacob, who is standing, wings akimbo, and scowling at him] 

  Maurizio di Mauro : I cannot eat, I cannot dance. You really are depressing. Are you sure you're not affected by the spell, too?

• Maurizio di Mauro : [seeing the Cozy family]  I much preferred the practical joke spell. They were laughing a lot more then.

• [Maggot appears from right beneath Tyrannia as she's sitting on her chair] 

  Tyrannia Vampirella : Maggot?

  [She falls to the floor] 

  Beelzebub Preposteror : I told you he never comes through the door.

  [Maggot is floating in the air in a catatonic state] 

  Tyrannia Vampirella : Is everything okay, Mr. Maggot? You look kinda, well, weird.

  Beelzebub Preposteror : We didn't think you were ever gonna show up.

  Tyrannia Vampirella : Yeah, we were really worried. Well, not *really* worried, but concerned about... Ahh, you see what I mean, right?

  [Maggot continues to stare off into space and mumbles] 

  Beelzebub Preposteror : Well, eh, aren't you gonna ask us to cast a new spell, and threaten us with dire consequences?

  Maledictus Maggot : [mumbling]  So depressed...

  Beelzebub Preposteror : Eh, what did he say? What's wrong with him?

  [More mumbling from Maggot] 

  Maledictus Maggot : So depressed...

  Tyrannia Vampirella : He really does not look well.

  [She waves her hand in front of Maggot's face to try and get his attention] 

  Tyrannia Vampirella : Yoo-hoo, Mr. Maggot? Anybody home?

  [Mr. Maggot begins to writhe] 

  Maledictus Maggot : Sorcerers' work makes me very depressed!

  Beelzebub Preposteror : He *is* sick!

  [Maggot continues to writhe more and crashes to the floor] 

  Tyrannia Vampirella : We'd better call an ambulance, Bubi.

• [German version: Jacob laughs at Maurizio, who was dancing but fell over] 

  Mauricio the Cat : Go on, have a good laugh. But first do that for me with your rheumatism.
