Quotes 

• Debi : So, is there a Mrs. Mysterio?

  Martin Q. Blank : No, but I do have a very nice cat?

  Debi : Not the same.

  Martin Q. Blank : Well, you don't know my cat, it's very demanding.

  Debi : "It"? You don't know if it's a boy or girl?

  Martin Q. Blank : I respect its privacy.

• Debi : I should have worn a skirt.

  Marty : I should have brought my gun.

  Debi : What was that?

  Marty : Should be fun!

• Debi : You're a psychopath.

  Marty : No, no. Psychopaths kill for no reason. I kill for *money*. It's a *job*. That didn't come out right.

• Debi : Some people say forgive and forget. Nah, I don't know. I say forget about forgiving and just accept. And... get the hell out of town.

• Debi : [about the man Martin killed at the reunion]  He was trying to kill you, right?

  Marty : Yes.

  Debi : It wasn't the other way around?

  Marty : No.

  Debi : Is it something you've done?

  Marty : It's something I do... professionally, for about five years now.

  [He lifts the gun in his hand] 

  Debi : [Gasps]  You were joking! People joke about the horrible things they *don't* do, they don't *do* them! It's absurd!

  Marty : When I left, I joined the Army, and when I took the service exam, my psych profile fit a certain... "moral flexibility" would be the only way to describe it. I was loaned out to a CIA-sponsored program and we sort of found each other. That's the way it works.

  Debi : So, you're a government spook?

  Marty : Yes, I mean no. I was before but I'm not now... but that' all irrelevant, really. The idea of government, nations is public relations theory at this point.

  Debi : Don't. I don't wanna hear about the theories. I wanna hear about the dead people. Explain the dead people.

• Debi : If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, it's, well, broken.

• Debi : You know what you need?

  Marty : What?

  Debi : Shakabuku.

  Marty : You wanna tell me what that means?

  Debi : It's a swift, spiritual kick to the head that alters your reality forever.

  Marty : Oh, that'd be good. I think.

• Debi : You're a fucking *psycho*.

  Marty : Don't rush to judgment on something like that until all the facts are in.

• Debi : Everybody's coming back to take stock of their lives. You know what I say? Leave your livestock alone.

• Debi : How come you never learned that it was wrong? That there are certain things you do not do, you do not do in a civilized society?

  Marty : Which civilizations are we talking about?

  Debi : Oh, shut up!

  Marty : I mean, history...

  Debi : Shut up!

• [Martin gives Debi a bouquet of flowers] 

  Debi : I'll go put these in some rubbing alcohol.

• Debi : What is this I'm feeling? Is it pain? Panic? Hunger? Am I hungry? Who's hungry?

• Debi : Where are all the good men dead, in the heart or in the head?

• [after Marty tells Debi he kills people for a living] 

  Debi : You don't get it! You don't get to have me!

  Marty : You're overreacting!

• Marty : I'm sorry if I fucked up your life.

  Debi : It's not over yet.

• Debi : Next caller, you're on the air.

  Nathaniel : Debbie? Man, it's Nathaniel. Uh, I don't hear any real remorse, dude, I mean, like, I don't think I'd let him back into your life. And dude, I'd make him wear that prom dress!

• Debi : Okay. So. You're back... a decade late, and... you're on some sort of therapeutic assignment, and you want to sort things out with me. So the question now becomes, do I allow you access to me or... do I call security?

  Marty : I don't think that'd be a good idea.

• Martin Q. Blank : But listen, uh, if you wanna go, I can't think of any reason why we wouldn't go together.

  Debi : I can.

• Amy : Where ya been these last ten years?

  Debi : Yeah, where ya been, "Marv"?

  Amy : Ya look great!

  Martin Q. Blank : Thanks. I work at Kentucky Fried Chicken.

  Amy : Ya do not!

  Martin Q. Blank : I do! I sell biscuits and gravy all over the Southland.

  Amy : You're so funny.

  Debi : He's a funny guy.
