Thursdays on DC UniverseDoom Patrol Season 4 Episode 11: "Portal Patrol" Quotes
What’s the point of going back so Immortus can finish putting her foot up our ass, or so the Butts can take a bite out of it?
Cliff
Rouge: Who the hell is talking?
Vic: It’s Grid, my operating system. Usually, I’m the only one who can hear it, but Keeg must’ve hacked into it.
Rouge: You have a voice in your head that talks to you?
Cliff: Fuck it. That’s not even the strangest thing about him.
Cliff: Just to review. We’re leaping into this dumb plan based on super spotty information, armed with nothing but our wits, my good looks, and Vic’s creepy, robotic knuckles.
Vic: Pretty much, yeah.
Cliff: [groans]
Larry: This is the most exciting place we could end up?
Jane: At least we know where we are.
Larry: And when - ish. I think it was ‘96 when Niles lied to Cliff about his family dying. He went in there and stared out the window until ‘04.
Tell me, barkeep, have you ever had your heart shat upon by a horse?
Willoughby
Cliff: Fuck, I can’t move.
Willoughby: It’s because I de-animated you.
Cliff: Or it’s because I have Parkinson’s Disease. Yeah, that’s right, motherfuckers, being unable to move is basically any other Monday to me.
Jane: They’re all gone.
Niles: Who? The personas? What does that mean?
Jane: It means I’m getting old as fuck, and I’m losing my mind. It means I can’t form a normal fucking relationship outside of these assholes in this house and I need to figure out a puzzle that could change what life I have left. It means that in some weird, fucked-up way, you might be the best person to help me.
Willoughby: Future knowledge is a toxin, Niles. Those who possess it are consumed by it.
Cliff: That checks out. My buddies and I discovered a future where killer Butts have taken over the Earth…
Willoughby: STOP TALKING ABOUT THE FUTURE!
Jane: I can’t find Kay and the others without solving some fucking jigsaw puzzle and getting my new purpose.
Niles: I could help you with that. I’m quite good at puzzles.
Jane: Oh, it’s not like that. I have to say something to solve it. And I don’t know what that is.
Niles: Or maybe you do know what to say but don’t want to.
Niles: What is it that you do want then?
Jane: Peace? Is there something wrong with that?
Niles: No. It’s just that until now, your purpose has always been to survive. Which means, I’m afraid, that you will never find absolute peace.
Vic: How does this kid know how to calculate time portals?
Deric: You. You taught them, Vic. You wanted to be a hero in a new way and I’m sitting here looking at it.
Vic: I’m talking to the future.
Deric: You’re talking to your future.
I’m sorry for whatever’s happened to you. For whatever I may or may not do to you. But I am not that man yet. And if I become him, then we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Niles
