Comic Book: The Movie (2004 Video)

Jess Harnell: Ricky

Quotes 

• Donald Swan : There's something about you that I think not a lot of people know, and that is that you wanted to be a cartoonist.

  Hugh M. Hefner : That's true, yes.

  Ricky : You went the right way though, man. You did.

• Ricky : Hef, you're really, like, my favorite superhero. 'Cause you were talking about how everything was, like, buttoned-down in the 50s, Don. Well, Hef kinda came along and crashed through that wall and broke down all the taboos. You're like Pajama Man, and I could be your sidekick, like I could be Chick... Chick Boy.

• Ricky : Are there gonna be chicks there dressed like Vampirella?

  Taylor Donohue : Is that all you think about?

  Ricky : Yep.

  Taylor Donohue : Good man.

• [looking at a picture of a steam-engine train] 

  Donald Swan : Now, y'see, to me, that's a train. It looks like a train, it's old, it's~

  Ricky : I think to everyone that's a train, 'cause it is.

• Ricky : Hey, Jenny, is there anybody dressed as the Hulk?

  Debby Newman : You know what, I did see Darth Vader!

  Ricky : Okay. Is he the Hulk?

• [Ricky is giving advice to Leo on meeting girls] 

  Ricky : And don't, like, get all touchy-feely and stuff. That's grabbin', and it makes 'em uncomfortable. Save it for later, after you get 'em liquored up.

• Ricky : Tell her about her lips. She's got beautiful lips.

  Leo Matuzik : You've got great lips. They're almost like - they look like beautiful... red worms kinda, like, touching each other. You know what I mean?

  Laura Nativo : [smiles innocently]  Is that supposed to be a compliment?

• Ricky : I notice that a lot of these comic books you're selling are old, and I think maybe you'd do more business if you got some brand-new ones, because people like to have new stuff more than old.

• Phil Morris : You talked about black superheroes. I have yet to see one. Look at me! How come I can't be a superhero?

  Taylor Donohue : It's not that.

  Phil Morris : You didn't take the meeting, and now you're here. Are you in my face now over this?

  Taylor Donohue : I'm not in your face. No, you ~

  Ricky : [interrupting]  You are kinda in his face.

  Taylor Donohue : Now, with a new movie, there are no walls for you, but ~

  Ricky : Keep going, you're doing good.

  Phil Morris : So there was a movie you had with a role you didn't see me for, and now you have a movie that has no role and now you're seeing me.

  Taylor Donohue : What you just said, but double it and bring it back.

• [the party guest is extolling the virtues of his hallucinogenic drink] 

  Drunken Party Guest : You know you're there when you've seen the green fairy.

  Ricky : The Hulk? What, is the green fairy the Hulk? Dude, I'm way into the Hulk. Is that him?

  Drunken Party Guest : [rubbing his temples]  Give me strength. No, no.

  Ricky : I'm curious, because if drinking that would get me hooked up with the Hulk, I'd be into it.

  Drunken Party Guest : That is when you know that you are in touch with your inner brain stem.

  Ricky : When the Hulk is hanging with you?

  Drunken Party Guest : That is when you know that you are in the place occupied by Poe.

  Ricky : And Bill Bixby.

• Taylor Donohue : Yeah, well, he's out. That's his swan song, and ~

  Ricky : Yeah, speaking of swan songs, dude, where is Don Swan? You know, he wouldn't have missed that meeting. He loves old guys. And comic books.
