Laurie Juspeczyk: [after rolling down the cab window] I'm sorry. I invited you out to dinner to catch up and have a few laughs... but there don't seem to be many laughs around these days. Dan Dreiberg: What do you expect? The Comedian's dead.
Rorschach: The engines! Dan Dreiberg: They're icing up. Hold on to something! Rorschach: Daniel, you're coming in too low. Don't wish to interfere with running of ship, but perhaps should pull up sharply before... Dan Dreiberg: Yeah, I know, I'm tryi...
John McLaughlin: On a scale of 0 to 10 - zero being impossible, ten being complete metaphysical certitude - what are the chances the Russians will actually attack the United States? Pat Buchanan. Pat Buchanan: Zero. The Soviets would never risk going...
Fat Thug: [Reaching into Rorschach's cell] You're dead, Rorschach! We got a prison full of killers out here! What do you got? Rorschach: [Grabbing Fat Thug's hands] Your hands. My pleasure. [Rorschach breaks Fat Thug's hands and ties them to the pris...
Dr. Manhattan: [remembering Janey while on Mars] Janey accuses me of chasing jailbait. She bursts into angry tears, asking if it's because she's getting older. It's true. She's aging more noticeably every day - while I am standing still. I prefer the...
Sally Jupiter: [to Eddie after sending Laurie away from him] Are there no depths you won't sink to? Edward Blake: Jesus Christ Sally, can't a guy talk to his- an old friend's daughter?
Dr. Manhattan: Adrian, stop this. The tachyons were clever. But even if I can't predict where you are I can still turn the walls to glass. I should thank you. I'd almost forgotten the excitement of *not* knowing. The delights of uncertainty.
[repeated line] Rorschach: Fine like this.
Man on Moon: Good luck, Mister Gorsky.
[Looking at psychiatrist's ink blot, remembering his abusive mother] Rorschach: Some nice flowers.
Rorschach: Once a man has seen society's black underbelly, he can never turn his back on it. Never pretend, like you do, that it doesn't exist.
Rorschach: You keep calling me Walter. I don't like you.
Edward Blake: [speaking to Moloch] The truth is, you're the closest thing to a friend I got. What the fuck does that say?
Rorschach: A Comedian died last night, and nobody cares. Nobody cares but me.
Adrian Veidt: We can do so much more. We can save this world... with the right leadership.
Adrian Veidt: His vision of a united world... well, it was unprecedented. I wanted... *needed* to match his accomplishments, and so I resolved to apply antiquity's teaching to our world, *today*. And so began my path to conquest. Conquest not of men,...
Adrian Veidt: What, in life, does not deserve celebrating?
[repeated line] Edward Blake: Mother forgive me.
