CHAR: Arthur makes a big deal about being called "DefenDOR", yet when he's talking with Kat, he calls himself "Defender". Revealing mistakes: When we first see the wasps in Arthur's hideout, there is a box of flares next to the aquarium. A sticker on the box reads "DANGER FLAMABLE FLARES". ("Flammable" is misspelled.) |
Quotes

Defendor: Look out, termites. It's squishing time. Arthur Poppington: There'll be time for questions later. Right now, I need your help. Kat: That kind of information doesn't just grow on trees. Kat: Defender? Arthur Poppington: [Emphasizing] De-FEN-DOR! Arthur Poppington: Trouble has a way of following me. Arthur Poppington: I'm gonna capture Captain Industry! Dr. Park: He needs guidance! Arthur Poppington: She's *not* a hooker! She's a *friend*! Chuck Dooney: Who writes your dialogue? Superman? Defendor: No. I write it myself. Chuck Dooney: You know what? You need a good ghost writer. Somebody with talent. Defendor: No. You need a ghost writer. 'Cause that's what you're going to be after I pulverize you. Arthur Poppington: Guns don't hurt me. Dr. Park: There are probably better ways to deal with people like that. Chuck Dooney: [Being "tortured" by Defendor] Please, God, not the lime juice! Arthur Poppington: There are at least eight ways to break out of this dump. I'm taking the front door. Arthur Poppington: I'll see you on the moon. Chuck Dooney: Who the fuck are you supposed to be? Defendor: You're worst nightmare. Constable Mike: Captain, this guy is pretty funny. He says he wants to call a truce. Captain Fairbanks: A vigilante? Constable Mike: No. No, he's a superhero. He calls him Defendor. And that's with an O-R, Captain. It's not an E-R. Defendor. And he flips out if you get that wrong. It's very bizarre. Kat: Here. You can even have your comic back, too. First issue. You think it's worth something? You're wrong. Some geek offered me four bucks for it. Apparently Strontium 90 and the Hellhound Gang sucks balls. Arthur Poppington: You shouldn't take other people's stuff. Kat: Oh, really? Thanks for the tip. Should I suck your cock now? Arthur Poppington: Well, you spend all of my money on drugs. Kat: Yeah, and...? Arthur Poppington: Well, you should spend it on a typewriter, like Lois Lane. Kat: Well guess what? I'm not Lois Lane, and you're not fucking Superman. So go jack off on some other fantasy, all right? Paul Carter: [to the Judge] He dresses up in tights and he calls himself Defendor, with a big D on his chest and on a cape. Arthur Poppington: No. Capes are for flying. I don't... I don't fly. Paul Carter: Do you remember when you saved Jack's life? I'll never forget what you did that day. You were just a regular guy doing something remarkable. You don't need a costume. Ordinary people, they do extraordinary things all the time. You're always going to be that hero, Arthur, just by being yourself. |
