Frederic Quotes in Turbo Kid (2015)

Frederic: So you're sure you want to leave? Where you going to go?

The Kid: To see what the rest of the wasteland looks like.

Frederic: Well there's not much to see there, kid.

The Kid: I know.

Frederic: This is the future. The world as we knew it is gone. Acid rain has left the land barren and the water toxic. Scarred by endless wars humanity struggles to survive in the ruins of the old world, frozen in an everlasting nuclear winter. This is the future... this is the year 1997.

Frederic: Oh I love you. I'll always love you, come what may.

Mabel: "Come what may"? We'll all be murdered in our beds come what may.

Frederic: Well run. For God's sake run!

Mabel: Death before dishonor. Besides, have you tried running in one of these things? It's a real bitch.

Mabel: Frederic, you're not gay, are you?

Frederic: [high voice] No!

[clears throat and in a lower voice]

Frederic: No.

Mabel: The way you and the Pirate King get around in those rather feminine, pleated shirts and all that leather.

Frederic: Mabel!

Mabel: Hey! I'm not prejudiced. I mean, what does this country got a navy for? Screw 'em if they can't take a joke!

Frederic: You're weird.

Mabel: All kidding aside, tell me this. Are you a virgin?

Frederic: I don't know.

Mabel: Near enough.

Mabel: Frederic, these are the 1880s. You can't live your life by the outmoded conventions of a neo-imperialist society. Find your true center!

Frederic: What? You mean Zen piracy?

Mabel: [unlaces her shirt and pulls it down to show her corset] Frederic, have you ever worn a whalebone corset? Well no, we established that, didn't we? It chokes and strangles, Frederic! I won't be choked and strangled by someone else's dumb ideas of custom and duty!

[to stone statue]

Mabel: Would you Harry, would you?

[to Frederic]

Mabel: Never to know the rich and real, wondrous person beating and throbbing inside me. Frederic, can you see me throbbing?

Frederic: I see! I see! I'm throbbing too!

Frederic: [moments after meeting for the first time] Look, I know this is going to sound silly, but I think I love you. I think I might even want to marry you.

Mabel: God, that was a short love scene!

Frederic: Lately I've been restless. I've been consumed by some... inner fire, and all I think about are girls.

Ruth: [Grabbing onto Frederic] I've waited 20 years for this!

The Pirate King: [Pulling Ruth off of Frederic] The sea, Frederic, is a jealous mistress. But she is her own reward. Believe me, you've missed nothing.

The Pirate King: [to other pirates] Tell him men, have you missed anything these 20 years at sea?

Other pirates: [Yelling in unison] SEX!

The Pirate King: Your Birthday?

Frederic: February 29, 1859.

The Pirate King: A leap year!

Frederic: yes...

The Pirate King: ...and you were indentured to us...?

Frederic: until my 21st year...

The Pirate King: [interrupting] ... until your 21st birthday! Leap years only happen every 4 years. Going by birthdays, you're still only 5 and a 1/4.

Frederic: [surprised] wha...?

The Pirate King: I'm merely making you aware of it... I'll leave the rest to your... sense of duty?

Ruth: Yes, Duty!

Frederic: Duty and honor are all I have... that's the one good thing you taught me!

Mabel: You poor thing. Pirates! You mean like walking the plank? Buried treasure? Hack, slash, off with his head, and the Jolly Richard, and everything?

Frederic: Roger.

Mabel: Oh, Roger I love it.

Frederic: No, Frederic without a "k."

Mabel: Mabel, also without a "k." God, we have so much in common.

[Mabel comes in and finds Frederic laying in a coffin]

Mabel: Frederic, what are you doing?

Frederic: Oh, hiding.

Mabel: My Frederic, hiding? It cannot be the lion-heart troubles at the coming conflict. My love - a wimp!

Frederic: No, Mabel. A terrible disclosure's just been made.

Mabel: Then zip it up!

[the Pirate King has just cornered Frederick in their swordfight, the Pirate King has his sword pointed between Frederick's legs]

The Pirate King: Drop it, or...

Frederic: *Nuts*!

The Pirate King: Them, too!

Frederic: [sitting rubbing his back as a horse runs off] Ohhh! Oww! Ouch! Well I've been at sea since I was one, how the hell would I know how to ride a horse?

Frederic: [scaring off Mabel's sisters and making them drop their flowers] I'm sorry! I didn't mean to deflower you!

Ruth: By the way, was that a definite no back there?

Frederic: Ruth, I don't want to hurt your feelings, but tell me honestly. Now, compared to other women, are you beautiful?

Ruth: Oh, I've been told so.

Frederic: Ah, but lately?

Ruth: Yes, by Sam. 'Course, he was drunk.

Frederic: Now, less than a hundred years ago, pirates used to really operate around here... raping and pillaging!

Mabel: God, I'd hate to be pillaged.

Mabel: Oh Frederic, can you not in the calm excellence of your wisdom reconcile it with your conscience to say something that will ease my father's sorrow?

Frederic: What?

Mabel: Can't you cheer him up?

Frederic: OH, HORROR!

The Pirate King: What's the matter?

Frederic: Ought I tell you? No, no I cannot! And yet as one of your band...

The Pirate King: SPEAK OUT! I-CHARGE-YOU-BY-THAT-SENSE-OF-CONSCIENTIOUSNESS-TO-WHICH-WE-HAVE-NEVER-YET-APPEALED-IN-VAIN!

[All are astonished at this feat, including the Pirate King himself]

Pirate King: Yeah.

[as the maidens are about to roll up their stockings to go wading]

Frederic: Stop, ladies, pray!

Maidens: A man!

Major General Stanley: Frederic here! Oh joy oh rapture! Summon your men and effect their capture

Mabel: Frederic save us!

Frederic: Beautiful Mabel, I would if I could but I am not able.

Frédéric: I don't want us to break up. I don't want to.
