Episode Quotes
Hammer: Doreau, I just made your night.
Doreau: Yeah?
Hammer: Two tickets to the gun show. We want to get their early so we don’t miss the free shrapnel.

Doreau: I have two tickets to the opera.
Hammer: Oh.
Doreau: I’m sure you wouldn’t be interested in anything that’s not in English.
Hammer: Not true. I love Stallone movies.

Hammer: This is my apartment. You’re breaking and entering.
Cindy: The door was open.
Hammer: Then you’re entering.

Trunk: You look awful.
Hammer: Yeah, I think I came down with something.
Trunk: What?
Hammer: Poison.

Doreau: Doctor, I hope you don’t take this personally…
Dr. Warneke: No.
Doreau: … Don’t you think we should get a second opinion?
Dr. Warneke: Mine is the ninth. Eighth of us are in agreement.
Hammer: Then let’s talk to the other guy.
Dr. Warneke: Okay, but he thinks you should be dead already.

Hammer: You know, Captain, I never thought I’d go out like this. I always thought I’d live to see a nuclear war.
Trunk: You’ve got forty-six minutes left. It could still happen.
Hammer: Thanks, Captain.

Trunk: Hammer, I have the antidote. The doc came through. And not a moment too soon.
Hammer: Captain, how can I ever thank you?
Trunk: Don’t drink it.
