Quotes 

• DG : [seeing Glitch hanging from the ceiling]  What are you doing...

  Glitch : up here? The little ANKLE-BITERS, thought it would be funny to keep me hanging around. Loosen that rope, and I might have the last laugh.

  [DG hesitates] 

  Glitch : Come on doll, if mom and pop really are on the route to central city, then you're falling further and further behind.

  DG : You know the way?

  Glitch : Sure, though, it's kind of hard to give directions like this. Unless you have a better offer?

• DG : I'm DG, by the way. And this is...

  Cain : I know, a head-case.

  Glitch : I have a proper name, you know. A-And when I remember it, I will tell you.

  DG : What's a head-case?

  Cain : It's what the state does to re-educate criminals. Rip out their brains, make 'em prisoners of their own minds. Ain't that right, convict?

  Glitch : Hey! Whoa, I ain't no convict!

  [hesitates] 

  Glitch : And just in case I am, it-it was a bogus charge, a-a frame job, I'm sure of it!

• Red Katt : Will Azkadellia attack from the east?

  DG : Who?

  Red Katt : The sorceress Azkadellia! The one for whom you spy! From which direction will her men come? Will they walk or will they fly?

  DG : Okay, how many times do I have to tell you guys that nothing you've said has made any sense to me?

• Glitch : Name's Glitch, on account of sometimes my synapses don't fire right. Sometimes my synapses don't fire right.

  DG : You just said that.

  Glitch : Did I? There you go, glitching again!

• DG : [referring to the tin suit]  How long were you trapped in there?

  Cain : [nodding to a tree that's about fifty feet tall]  Since that was a sapling.

• DG : Why would they remove your brain?

  Glitch : 'Cause of what I know. Or used to know.

• Cain : I'll see you down the road.

  DG : Oh, actually, a road is what we're looking for. We're looking for the...

  DG , Glitch : Brick Route.

  DG : That leads to a place called...

  DG , Glitch : Central City.

  DG : Do you know of it?

  Cain : Yeah. That's where Zero was headed after... It's where I'm headed now.

  DG : Great! We'll go with you.

  Cain : I got business. Besides, I don't travel with kids, or convicts.

• Cain : Look, nothing personal kid, but look at you. First sign of trouble, you're just gonna cut and run.

  DG : Nothing personal, but when we found you, you were in a tin box! You don't know me. Come on Glitch, we'll find the way ourselves.

  [DG and Glitch walk off] 

  Cain : The way? The way leads through the fields of the Papay.

  Glitch : [Glitch stops]  Papay?

  DG : [DG walks back]  What? I've been tossed into a storm, trussed up by lawn gnomes, chased by mad men on horseback, how bad can Papays be?

  Cain : I've seen them gnaw poeple in half in thirty seconds.

  [pause] 

  Cain : Zipper-head keep your mouth shut, kid you stay behind me.

  DG : Why the sudden change of heart?

  Cain : Believe me, heart's got nothing to do with it.

• DG : Hey, you wanna come closer to the fire? Warm up?

  Raw : Shoulda left me to die.

  Glitch : Oh great, a basket-case!

• Raw : [about Cain]  Brave man. Good man. Tin Man.

  Glitch : Oh, I mighta known you were a Tin Man, what with that attitude!

  DG : What's a Tin Man?

  Glitch : It-It's what they call policemen in Central City.

  [hesitates] 

  Glitch : At least, I think it is.

• Emily : We are, series 1487, nurture units.

  DG : [shocked, and confused]  Um, 'nurture units'?

  Hank : We were programmed with specific protocols to love and protect you like you were our own.

  DG : Okay, that's weird. Um, you're robots? Oh, my life is a lie!

  Emily : It wasn't a lie to us. We-we feel like your parents, DG. We love you! But-but our deeper purpose was to tell you the stories of our world, stories that would prepare you for your return.

  DG : My return?

• DG : [reciting]  All of life's answers, are found along the Old Road.

  Cain : [looking at DG curiously]  Did you just say 'Old Road?' That's what the locals call the Brick Road. I thought you said you'd never been here before.

  DG : I haven't been here... before. But... I know this place.

• DG : You knew my mother.

  Glitch : I knew I wasn't an idiot!

  [to Cain] 

  Glitch : Or a convict!

• DG : [at the Northern Island]  Dig!

  Glitch : Dig?

  Cain : What do you mean dig? Wait, wait, wait!

  DG : [reciting, while digging with an ax]  Daughter of light came upon a glistening white mountain, frozen in time on a sea of ice. Above all else she knew, that this mountain was more than it appeared. It was home!

• Glitch : [happily]  Hey, there's that guy who locked up Cain.

  [gasps, scared] 

  Raw : We go now.

  Glitch : We've gotta get outta here.

  DG : No, I'm not leaving until I get my answers.

• DG : [serving a piece of apple pie]  This isn't my day.

  State Trooper : [handing DG a speeding ticket]  Sure isn't.

  DG : Thank you!

• DG : [trying to talk to the Mystic Man on Vapors]  Sir, Sir, Sir, you have some answers.
