    Abe Sapien: [gives Manning his belt and weapons] Watch us.

    [pats Manning on the cheek and walks past him]

    Hellboy: [comes back] On second thought...

    [pulls out the Samaritan]

    Hellboy: I think I'll keep this!

    [walks away]

    Tom Manning: Come on. Come on! Johann, they can't do this. Stop them.

    Johann Krauss: Dr. Manning, suck my ectoplasmic schwanzstucker!

    Hellboy: English, English.

    Abe Sapien: They're, um... tooth fairies.

    Hellboy: Ha!

    Abe Sapien: No. Black Forest, 3rd Century. They feed mostly on calcium. Bones, skin, organs... But they do usually go after the teeth first. Hence the name, "tooth fairies."

    Liz Sherman: Bet you they don't leave money, either.

  • Abe Sapien: [as she lies dying] I never got a chance to tell you how I feel.

    Abe Sapien: [also drunk] Well, ask her then!

    Hellboy: No! Look, Abe, when a woman's mad at you, but she's really mad about something else, and you have to ask, she gets mad because you had to ask in the first place! You know?

    Abe Sapien: Uh...

    Hellboy: Never mind, don't answer that.

    Hellboy: [getting annoyed] Come on, Blue. Give me something to work with here!

    Abe Sapien: Burrowing creatures.

    Hellboy: How many of them?

    Abe Sapien: Many... there are no corpses because there are no leftovers. Have you noticed the floor?

    Hellboy: [walking through the bloody sludge] Aww, crap!

    Abe Sapien: Precisely. All these things do is eat and eat, then poop, then eat again.

    Liz Sherman: [sarcastic] Remind you of anyone?

  • Abe Sapien: [to pregnant Liz] Nothing to fear. Despite the appearances, I bet Red can be excellent father figure.

  • Princess Nuala: I am Princess Nuala, daughter of King Balor...

    Abe Sapien: I know. Forgive me, Your Highness, but as you were learning about me, I could not help but learn a little bit about you. You need our help.

    Princess Nuala: I'm afraid it's the other way around.

  • Princess Nuala: [with the others in the meat-locker] To wage his war, my brother needs this.

    [holding the crown piece and cylinder]

    Princess Nuala: The final piece of the crown of BethMora and this map to the location of the Golden Army chamber.

    Johann Krauss: The Golden Army. The harbingers of death, the unstoppable tide...

    Hellboy: [under his breath] Howdy Doody.

    Johann Krauss: Your Highness, if you hand the crown piece over to us...

    Princess Nuala: No. Where it goes, I go. My father died to uphold the truce with your world. We must honor his noble intentions.

    Abe Sapien: The lady is in dire danger.

    Johann Krauss: I take is your are vouching for her, Agent Sapien?

    Abe Sapien: Most emphatically, yes.

    Johann Krauss: Even so... I am sorry, but we simply cannot assume such responsibility on our own.

    Johann Krauss: You may not care, but there are procedures, rules, and little handbooks that...

    Hellboy: She's coming with us. You got that, gasbag?

    Johann Krauss: [offended] What-what did you call me?

    Prince Nuada: [from behind the group] You! You will pay for what happened to my friend down there.

    Hellboy: [turning to face him, sarcastically] Yeah, right. You take checks?

    Prince Nuada: [enraged] Demon. Born from a womb of shadows, sent to destroy their world and you still believe you belong?

    Hellboy: Are we going to talk all night? Because I'm really sleepy.

  • Abe Sapien: Red, we have company.

  • Abe Sapien: Now, see, I love this song. And I can't smile, or cry. I think I have no tear ducts.

  • Jimmy Kimmel: [talking about Abe on TV] And what about this guy? Walking around with a toilet seat on his head.

    Hellboy: [laughing] A toilet!

    Abe Sapien: It's quite obvious it's a breathing apparatus.
