Episode Quotes
 
Hammer: I was born with in a gun with my hand. Chief reason why I could never get babysitted.
 
Trunk: Is that a silencer?
Hammer: No, it’s not a silencer. This little doodad is my own invention. I call it a “loudener.”
 
Trunk: (answering machine) This is Captain Trunk. I can’t come to the phone right now so leave a message. If this is you, Hammer, never call me again at home.
 
Woman: You can’t leave me here. It’s a hundred thirty degrees!
John Kogan: Yeah, but it’s a dry heat.
 
John Kogan: Let me kill you! Then I promise I'll never never do it again!
 
Hammer: I know this man, he is bad. His childhood goal was to be an astronaut. He wanted to be the first man to kill someone on the Moon.
 
Doreau: What happened?
Hammer: It’s a long story. We grew up together, we were best friends, he went bad. Well, it’s not a long story.
 
Hammer: And if I don’t walk away from this, you promise me one thing.
Doreau: What’s that?
Hammer: You’ll tell Trunk I won’t be home in the morning.
 
Hammer: Go ahead, make my day.
John Kogan: You’re the disease, I’m the cure.
Hammer: May the Force be with you. Forget the clichés!
 
Hammer: Captain, that was excessively violent and complete unnecessary. I loved that! I love when that happens. Like when you break something. Boom! I love to see it hit, you see how it blew up. Did you get into it?
