- Taurus Bulba: Please accept my apologies.
- Darkwing Duck: Oh, okay. But next time you...
- [realizes]
- Darkwing Duck: Taurus Bulba! How did you...? Where'd you...?
- [stuttering]
- Darkwing Duck: I am the terror that flaps in the night. I am... I'm the surprise in your cereal box... I'm... I'm...
- Taurus Bulba: Yes, yes, I know. I heard. You're Darkwing Duck.
- Darkwing Duck: I am the terror that flaps in the night, I am the chill that runs up your spine. I am Darkwing Duck!
- Darkwing Duck: I am the terror that flaps in the night! I am the jailer who throws away the key! I am... feeling really stupid! Boy, I hate it when I'm early! Sheesh! You'd think criminal masterminds would be more punctual!
- Gosalyn Waddlemeyer: How come you wear a mask?
- Darkwing Duck: [somewhat like Dracula] Because there is nothing more terrifying to the criminal mind as the unknown. I am the thing that goes bump in the night. I am the neurosis that requires a $500-an-hour shrink!
- Gosalyn Waddlemeyer: You mean you don't take off your mask for anyone.
- Darkwing Duck: That's right! Not no one, not never.
- Gosalyn Waddlemeyer: What about a really, really, really, close friend?
- [beat]
- Darkwing Duck: Well, maybe... someday.
- Darkwing Duck: A desperate criminal is at large and terror runs through the streets like a pair of cheap stockings! But it's helpless! No one gets the drop on Dark...
- Gosalyn Waddlemeyer: [jumping on DW] Gosalyn Waddlemeyer! Boy, Darkwing, you gotta work on your narration. They write better stuff on Saturday morning cartoons.
- Darkwing Duck: We need to blow an entry hole in that thing.
- Launchpad McQuack: I dunno, DW. That sounds dangerous.
- Darkwing Duck: Yeah? Well, then... let's get dangerous!
- [the Thunderquack buzzes Taurus Bulba's airship]
- Taurus Bulba: Either plane designs are getting uglier, or it's that duck!
- [first lines]
- Darkwing Duck: A desperate criminal is at large and terror runs through the streets like a pair of cheap stockings...
- Taurus Bulba: [Ranting to Hammerhead, Hoof, and Mouth] Somewhere down there is this Darkwing Duck. I've watched him. I know his weakness. His posing, his flamboyance, the mask and cape! Ha, ha! That hat! It all indicates an ego the size of a small planet!
- Gosalyn Waddlemeyer: If I take your bed, where will you sleep?
- Darkwing Duck: I won't, I'm a night person.
- Gosalyn Waddlemeyer: I'm sorry, Darkwing, if I hadn't got caught you wouldn't have risked your life to save me.
- Darkwing Duck: Gos, before I met you, I didn't have a live with risking.
- Gosalyn Waddlemeyer: Why don't you wear a helmet?
- Darkwing Duck: Because it doesn't look cool.
- Gosalyn Waddlemeyer: Neither do scrambled brains.
- Darkwing Duck: You don't have to worry about me. I knew this job was dangerous when I took it.
- [Darkwing backs away from the ramrod, knowing that it's about to explode]
- Darkwing Duck: I think it's time for the hero to make his dramatic escape.
- Taurus Bulba: [grabbing Darkwing] I underestimated you once, Darkwing Duck. This time you simply die!
- Darkwing Duck: What exactly *is* a "ramrod device"?
- Gosalyn Waddlemeyer: [inhales] It's a trachio-specific device that disrupts gravitational bonds on a molecular level that allows manipulation on a macro scale.
- Darkwing Duck: What does that mean?
- Gosalyn Waddlemeyer: Beats me. I think it just makes things float.
