Link Angel Quotes in Judge Dredd (1995)

[when Dredd and Fergee regain consciousness, they find themselves in a dark building, their hands tied with thick ropes to the ceiling, several feet above the ground]

Fergee: Am I dead? Am I dead? I'm dead!

[the notorious Angel gang enters the room, chuckling. They are dirty, vicious-looking thugs. The most hideous is the cyborg Mean - he has a mechanical right arm, and his skull is covered with a metal dome with a dial on the front. Link and Junior carry a body from the shuttle. Mean carries a helmet on his mechanical arm. Pa Angel looks at the captives]

Pa Angel: Awake? Good! We're running out of sinners.

[Mean throws the helmet away. The four thugs approach the captives. Fergee is filled with fear]

Fergee: Oh, my God! Dredd, do something!

Pa Angel: [surprised] Dredd?

Judge Dredd: [whispers to Fregee] You talk too much.

Pa Angel: Can it be?

[Fergee gasps in fear when Pa Angel points his staff, but he only uses it to press on Dredd's right arm in order to see his face]

Pa Angel: The great man of the law himself.

[convinced that the prisoner is indeed Dredd, Pa Angel bursts out laughing]

Pa Angel: O Lord, you have blessed us indeed! Judge "rat" Dredd.

Judge Dredd: You creeps are under arrest.

Mean Machine: [unimpressed, waving his mechanical arm menacingly] Is that so? Let me crush him, Pa!

Fergee: Excuse me. We're not together.

[the Angels burst out laughing]

Pa Angel: Allow me to introduce you to my family. There's Link, my oldest.

Link Angel: Bite me!

Fergee: Hi!

Pa Angel: My youngest, Junior.

Junior Angel: [slightly moves his hat] Howdy!

Fergee: Hi!

[Pa Angel introduces Mean]

Pa Angel: [pats on Mean's shoulder] And this here is Mean.

[Pa Angel caresses Mean's cheek]

Pa Angel: We had to make some alterations when he was a child. The Cursed Earth's a tough place on young folks.

[Pa Angel turns the dial on Mean's skull to level 1. Mean snarls]

Pa Angel: Now have him set on 1. I don't suggest you make him angry.

[Fergee shakes his head]

Judge Dredd: [contemptuously] The legendary Angel family. Cursed Earth pirates, murderers, scavengers. And, of course, scumbags.

Fergee: [rolls his eyes upward] Oh, that'll win 'em over!

Judge Dredd: Did I leave something out, "Pa"?

[Pa Angel smiles widely, amused rather than offended]

Junior Angel: Let me kill 'im, Pa. I want his ears.

Link Angel: I want his teeth!

[Mean draws several blades from his mechanical arm, holding them close to Dredd's throat. Mean chuckles, but Dredd is unimpressed]

Judge Dredd: Does that come with a fork, handsome?

[Mean snarls, then bends his head backwards and butts into Dredd's face. Fergee shuts his eyes. The blow leaves bleeding gash on Dredd's left temple. Again, Mean holds the blades close to Dredd's throat]

Fergee: Hallelujah, brother!

[surprised, the Angels turn their attention to Fergee]

Pa Angel: [caresses Fregee's cheek] Wait a minute. Can it be? Can it be that from the city of the fallen we have one of the faithful?

[hearing that, Fergee believes incorrectly that he has hope of survival]

[Fergee tries to convince the Angel gang that he is a believer, thinking incorrectly that they will let him live. While the attention of the Angels is turned on Fregee, Dredd struggles to get his hands free]

Fergee: Amen, brother! Praise the Lord! I'm a believer!

Judge Dredd: [whispers] Fergee, don't do it.

Pa Angel: It sounds like we have a believer in the gallery.

Fergee: Yes!

Pa Angel: Cut him down.

Fergee: Go tell it on the mountain!

Judge Dredd: Fergee!

[Fergee ignores Dredd's warnings. Link steps forward and cuts Fergee's bindings]

Fergee: Yeah!

Judge Dredd: [to Fergee] You're making a big mistake.

Fergee: [chuckles gloatingly] Well, Dredd, maybe the law doesn't make mistakes, but I'm free - and you're a toast.

Judge Dredd: [dryly] Actually, YOU'RE a toast. I forgot to mention it. Your new friends... they're cannibals.

[Fergee's smile fades as the Angels grab him roughly and drag him to the fire]

Link Angel: Fresh meat.

Pa Angel: Prepare the supplicant for sacrifice!

[as Link and Junior drag poor Fergee to the fire, Dredd manages to free his left hand from the ropes. The Angels fail to notice that]

Fergee: No, wait. You can't eat me! I've got eczema. I've got warts. I've had gonorrhea. Eat Dredd! He works out.

[Fergee's eyes widen in fear when he sees what is cooking over the fire - something that clearly was once human]

Pa Angel: [looks disgustingly at Dredd] Yum, yum. It's been fun, lawman.

[Pa Angel turns Mean's dial to level 2. Mean snarls]

Pa Angel: [pats on Mean's shoulder] Finish Dredd.

Mean Machine: My pleasure, Pa!
