Mouse Quotes:

  • Mouse: To deny our own impulses is to deny the very thing that makes us human.

  • Tank: Here you go, buddy; "Breakfast of Champions."

    Mouse: If you close your eyes, it almost feels like you're eating runny eggs.

    Apoc: Yeah, or a bowl of snot.

    Mouse: Do you know what it really reminds me of? Tasty Wheat. Did you ever eat Tasty Wheat?

    Switch: No, but technically, neither did you.

    Mouse: That's exactly my point. Exactly. Because you have to wonder: how do the machines know what Tasty Wheat tasted like? Maybe they got it wrong. Maybe what I think Tasty Wheat tasted like actually tasted like oatmeal, or tuna fish. That makes you wonder about a lot of things. You take chicken, for example: maybe they couldn't figure out what to make chicken taste like, which is why chicken tastes like everything.

    Apoc: Shut up, Mouse.

  • Roadblock: [seeing Mouse is nervous] My first drop, I popped a live round into my mouth. It keeps your teeth from chattering. Give it a shot.

    [gives him a bullet, which he puts into his mouth]

    Mouse: Delicious.

    Roadblock: Attaboy.

  • Mouse: Do you think he has an even chance to keep them off us... and still get through?

    Roshko: With him, the chance is always better than even.

  • Cpl. Luis Delgado: They're being called to the wedding, Mike.

    Cpl. Pierre Molier: The way she looked at you, I don't think she wants to marry him.

    Sgt. Mike Kincaid: She'll go through with it. She gave her oath.

    Lustig: Sarge, you're not thinking of stealing her again?

    Mouse: Come on, Mike! We got to get back to Tarfa!

    Kurt: Yes! The regiment is back.

    Lustig: How 'bout it, Sarge?

    Sgt. Mike Kincaid: You boys go ahead. I'm going to a wedding.

  • Cpl. Pierre Molier: We can't let him go to a wedding like that.

    Cpl. Luis Delgado: The least we can do is to get him a Riff outfit. Hey, Mike!

    Roshko: I don't know Little Mouse. I haven't been invited.

    Mouse: That's OK, Roshko. I invite you.

    Kurt: Weddings always make me cry.

    Lustig: That I gotta see.

  • [English version]

    [the machine makes animals out of sausages]

    Mouse: It's the only way out.

    Buster: Through the machine?

    [to Tortellini]

    Buster: You be our scout - you go first.

    Tortellini: Why me?

    Gwendolen: Didn't I hear you say you're our leader?

  • Capt. Thaddeus Harris: You'll never get away with this, you two-bit filthy scum!

    Tony: What did he call me?

    Mouse: Scum.

    Tony: Ah. Well, perhaps you'd like to leave now.

    [snaps fingers]

    Tony: Mouse?

    [Mouse cocks his pistol]

    Capt. Thaddeus Harris: [laughs weakly] About that "filthy scum" comment...

    Tony: Shut up, shark bait.

    Capt. Thaddeus Harris: "Shark bait"?

  • Mouse: You said don't shoot him, right? Well I didn't; I choked... look, Easy - if you ain't want him dead, why you leave him with me?

  • Mouse: Easy, if you didn't want him killed, why'd you leave him with me?

  • Mouse: [Mouse and Bobby approaching Sheila and Katy] I know I might like her, but sometimes she's a different person. I don't know what she's gonna be one moment to the next.

    Bobby O'Grady: Don't say anything.

    [to Katy and Sheila]

    Bobby O'Grady: Hey, whats goin' on?

    Katy: Boys.

    Mouse: Hey, Sheila.

    Sheila: Hey, Mouse.

    Mouse: That's a nice sweater.

    Sheila: It's a, uh, blouse, Mouse.

    Mouse: Yeah, it's nice.

  • Paulie: Lesbian? Lesbian? Are you fucking kidding me, you think I'm a LESBIAN?

    Mouse: You're a girl in love with a girl, aren't you?

    Paulie: No! I'm PAULIE in love with TORI. Remember? And Tori, she is, she IS in love with me because she is mine and I am hers and neither of us are LESBIANS!

  • Mouse: Have you ever been really thirsty? And you open a carton of milk and you pour it in your mouth... and it's... sour. That happened. Inside me. Forever.

  • Paulie: I'm Paulie.

    [exhales cigarette smoke]

    Paulie: Oster.

    [shakes Mouse's hand firmly]

    Mouse: Mary Bedford. Mouse, really... they call me.

    Paulie: [chuckles] I'd rather call you shithead than Mouse.

    Paulie: [sits down next to Mouse] So you're roomin' with me and Tori, huh?

    Mouse: Yeah, that's what Miss Vaughn said.

    Paulie: Well, I guess she didn't like us up there all by our lonesome.

  • [last lines]

    Mouse: [voice-over] Dear my mother, I almost got lost too, didn't I? But the pure love you gave me 'til you died was like a flame always there, burning. And just like the raptor, that little flame was all I needed in order to see in the dark. It saved me, Momma, from that deep dark. Paulie, she didn't have that. The darkness took over her so she had to fly away. I still dream of her every night. And I think I always will. And you know, I can always remember your face now. Any time I think of you I look up and I can see your face. My mother's face. Like a flame across the sky.

  • [Everybody on the field looks up and sees Paulie on the roof of the builing with the falcon perched on her arm]

    Mouse: [Quietly, in tears] Paulie... Paulie... please!

    Paulie: [recites] 'I will make me a willow cabin at your gate, and call upon my soul within the house... '

    [Tori's eyes widen as she shakes uncontrollably]

    Paulie: [quietly] I rush into the secret house...

    [Paulie stretches both of her arms out sideways]

    Tori: PAULIE!

    [Paulie leans forward and then falls off the roof. The falcon flies away]

  • Mouse: I felt like a gray mouse heading straight for the mouth of a cat, and there was nothing, nothing I could do about it.

  • Cordelia: [Tori ignores Paulie's beckoning to her and Mouse and sits with Cordelia and Kara, and Mouse continues to Paulie's table]

    [to Tori]

    Cordelia: So... how are you?

    Tori: First of all, whatever they're saying is trash talk. Stupid. I know you guys won't listen to it.

    Cordelia: Of course not. God, I mean, even if it was true, I'd still be like, "So? Grow up."

    Tori: But it's not true.

    Cordelia: I mean, like, my aunt is gay. Like, get over it.

    Tori: Yeah, but I'm not. Totally. So...

    Cordelia: No, I know.

    Mouse: [She and Paulie have overheard the conversation] She's upset. Give her time.

    Paulie: Bedford, this is a dark day.

  • Paulie: Hey, new girl, what do you think of Vaughnie?

    Tori: [giggling] Don't call her "new girl," it's so rude!

    Mouse: Miss Vaughn? She's nice.

    [Paulie chuckles]

    Tori: Some of the girls say rude things about her.

    Paulie: She and Bannet, they got it goin' on for sure.

    Tori: Paulie, give it a rest. She's just a single lady, and they're very good friends, and that's it. Don't be so mean... or homophobic.

    Mouse: She seemed nice to me.

    [Paulie and Tori stare at her]

    Mouse: I mean, um, normal. Well, not...

    Paulie: I'm not sayin' she's not nice new girl, I'm sayin' shes a LES-BO! And she got the hots for Tori here.

    [Tori scoffs]

    Paulie: Who can blame her, eh?

    [squeezes Tori's face playfully]

    Paulie: Beautiful.

  • Mouse: How much does it matter what other people think?

    Joe Menzies: I dunno... depends on how much they're paying you, I guess.

    [both chuckle]

    Joe Menzies: How much they payin' ya?

    Mouse: My father sent me some seeds... I was wondering if maybe, I could plant them somewhere?

    Joe Menzies: Oh, uh- the dirt's usually a good spot...

    [chuckles]

    Joe Menzies: Let's see what you got...

    [observes]

    Joe Menzies: Ew! Worm eggs!

  • [Paulie points her sword on Jake as he lies on the ground and runs the pointed end from his chest down to his right thigh]

    Paulie: [about Tori] Give her up!

    Mouse: Paulie!

    Paulie: Say, "I... give... her... up!"

    Jake Hollander: Go fuck yourself!

    [Paulie thrusts her sword into Jake's thigh, making him scream at the top of his lungs, and so does Paulie]

    Mouse: Paulie, no!

    John: Fucking bitch!

    Mouse: Paulie!

    Jake Hollander: [to John and Phil] She cut me!

    John: Fucking bitch!

    [John and Phil try to help Jake stop the bleeding while Mouse pulls Paulie away]

    Mouse: [Shaking Paulie] What are you doing? What are you doing?

    Jake Hollander: You are fucking crazy!

    [Paulie breaks down and runs off screaming]

  • White Motorist: ...You think, maybe you guys could help with a ride or something? I think it ran out of gas.

    Mouse: Hey Ari, I think this guy thinks we're Sacagawea.

  • Mouse: You know you're doing this all backwards?

    Agnes Roth: What?

    Mouse: Yeah. Most smart Indians move away from the rez.
