Tom Manning : What's going on? What's going on?
Hellboy : I quit.
[gives Manning his belt and weapon]
Tom Manning : What? Are you serious?
Liz Sherman : Looks that way doesn't it?
[gives Manning her belt and weapon]
Tom Manning : What's wrong with you? You can't all just quit.
Abe Sapien : [gives Manning his belt and weapons] Watch us.
[pats Manning on the cheek and walks past him]
Hellboy : [comes back] On second thought...
[pulls out the Samaritan]
Hellboy : I think I'll keep this!
[walks away]
Tom Manning : Come on. Come on! Johann, they can't do this. Stop them.
Johann Krauss : Dr. Manning, suck my ectoplasmic schwanzstucker!
-
[about Johann]
Tom Manning : No fingerprints, no photos. But they say, and I'm translating, "he has a nice, open face."
[Johann's head turns out to be a clear, open bowl of glass]
-
Tom Manning : "Undercover." Can't he get the meaning of the word? I mean, we are still government-funded, we are still a secret, although a dirty secret, if you ask me. Officially, we-do-not-exist. So, you see, that's the problem when we get these.
[shows Abe a series of photos]
Tom Manning : Subway... highway... ah, park.
[holds up one, showing Hellboy giving a "peace" sign with his stone hand]
Tom Manning : And he posed for this one, and gave an autograph. I suppress each photo, cell phone videos, they cost me a fortune, and then they show up on Youtube... God, I hate Youtube!
-
Tom Manning : What are these things?
Liz Sherman : We normally can't see fairy folk and trolls. They emit a cloaking aura of "glamour." But in 1838, Emil Schuffstein designed these. Four crystal diopters that allows you to see things as they really are. Keep an eye on her.
[Manning sees the team following a bag lady pushing a shopping cart full of kittens]
Tom Manning : That little old lady? Come on!
Liz Sherman : It's a Fragglewump. An ugly Scottish troll. They're afraid of canaries.
[Manning puts on the glasses and looks again]
Tom Manning : Oh, my God! Canaries, huh? What about the kittens?
Liz Sherman : She feeds on them.
Tom Manning : That thing is a "she?"
-
Tom Manning : [very upset] You've murdered me. You've murdered me and ridiculed me. And... you've brought this onto yourself.
Hellboy : [uninterested] What?
Tom Manning : Washington is sending down a BPRD agent.
Hellboy : [now caring] A new guy? Why?
Tom Manning : [sneering] To look after you!
-
Tom Manning : [talking about Krauss] I like the way he takes charge.
Liz Sherman : You think?
Tom Manning : He's efficient, and precise.
Liz Sherman : Add resistant to that and you got yourself a new watch.
