RoboCop 3 Quotes

Seitz: Sir, what about our friend Coontz?

Paul McDaggett: Well, if we'd let him live, we'd have to have paid him.

[last lines]

The CEO: Well, I gotta hand it to ya. What do they call ya? Murphy, is it?

Robocop: My friends call me Murphy. You call me... Robocop.

Robocop: [to Otomo] Detroit police. Identify yourself. You are under arrest for assaulting an officer.

[Robocop draws for his Auto-9, Otomo knocks it away and cuts off Robocop's fingers]

Robocop: And destruction of police property.

Robocop: I must commandeer your vehicle for police use.

Pimp: [turning around and raising a knife] What is your problem, sucker?

Pimp: [gaping at Robocop, his a gun, and dropping his knife] I mean, Officer.

[Robocop lands inside the top-story OCP Command Center]

Paul McDaggett: How may I help you, officer?

Robocop: By resisting arrest.

Paul McDaggett: [after the androids behead each other] Stupid fools. Don't you know what you've done to us? Those androids are programmed with a thermal failsafe device.

Dr. Marie Lazarus: They're made to self-destruct?

Paul McDaggett: In fifteen seconds, everything within twenty yards of where we're standing will be atomised. We're DEAD, ya stupid slag!

Robocop: Don't count on it, chum.

The CEO: McDaggett, you can have OCP. It's all yours. Sayonara.

McDaggett: Where are you going? You're gonna miss all the fun.

Robocop: [with flamethrower arm in police station] You may want to call the fire department.

[Lights the place up]

[Robocop is covered in soot]

Officer Anne Lewis: Jesus, Murphy. Are you okay?

Robocop: I'm fine, Anne. Thank you for asking.

Robocop: Where's McDaggett?

Hotel Desk Clerk: Room 212.

Robocop: Thank you. I hope you are insured.

Officer Anne Lewis: Are they gone?

Robocop: I'm still scanning three.

[catches a bullet in his hand and fires his gun offscreen]

Robocop: Make that... two.

Officer Anne Lewis: We're police officers.

Paul McDaggett: We don't want you. We have reason to believe there are squatters in that structure. Now, step away from the door.

Officer Anne Lewis: There're civilians inside. They're just trying to stay warm.

Paul McDaggett: Those people belong in the nearest rehabilitation center. Some of them are armed terrorists. Now, step away from the door or you'll be cited for obstructing justice. Look, I'm not gonna ask politely next time, now step away from the door. This is your final warning.

Robocop: [shoots at McDaggett's feet] You are making a mistake. Back off, or there will be trouble.

Officer Anne Lewis: Now you're talking, Murphy. We're not budging. If you wanna get in there, you're gonna have to shoot through us.

Paul McDaggett: I don't have a huge problem with that.

[guns down Officer Lewis]

Leon: All right, if you gotta "RoboCop," you got an AlienCop? Huh? You gotta GhostCop?

Sergeant Warren Reed: Leon, I told you I don't have time for this!

Leon: You gotta VampireCop?

Sleazy Lawyer: This is entrapment! My client was visiting close personal friends in that motel.

Sergeant Warren Reed: Hey, buddy, your client's "close personal friends" were a non-union video crew and a German shepherd!

Sleazy Lawyer: That's prejudicial! Did the arresting officer ask to see their union cards?

Hooker: [Obviously a man] Yeah, yeeeah!

McDaggett: Sergeant. We're taking Cadillac Heights. I'll need fifty of your men armed and in full body armor in one hour. Mr. Johnson, you can tell the C.E.O. the demolition crews will have total access at 0600 hours tomorrow morning.

Sergeant Warren Reed: Hey, we don't do that kind of work.

McDaggett: That was a direct order, sergeant.

Sergeant Warren Reed: Driving people out of their homes is no work for a cop.

Johnson: Now, sergeant... fifteen years on the force is quite an investment. Your job, your pension... Maybe instead of worrying about these squatter people, you might think about your OWN family.

Sergeant Warren Reed: I am.

[Takes off his badge and throws it on the floor]

Sergeant Warren Reed: I'm thinking I have to go home and face them.

[Reed leaves. One by one, other offices drop their badges and walk out as well]

Johnson: You can't do this! Look, you are employees of O.C.P. Now remember that! You're jeopardizing your retirement benefits!

The CEO: [Getting out of Kanemitsu's limo] Uh, Kanemitsu-San, I... I realize that it looks bad but, I mean, maybe our plans were overambitious. Let's start a skoshy bit smaller. Let's gentrify this neighborhood, build strip malls, fast food chains, lots of popular entertainment. Whadda you think?

[Kanemitsu looks to him and says something in Japanese]

The CEO: [to his aide] What'd he say?

Kanemitsu's Aide: He said you're fired.

[two OCP Rehabs are harassing a teen prostitute]

Teen Prostitute: No!

Robocop: [appearing] She said "no".

Rehab Rapist: Huh?

[the Rehabs look at Robocop confused. Robocop points his gun at them]

Robocop: Maybe you have a hearing problem.

[Standing behind the girl, the Rehabs raise their guns. Robocop fires, killing the Rehabs without harming the girl]

Robocop: [to the girl] Go home, young lady. You are in violation of curfew.

[Johnson and Fleck are walking in OCP, looking at the chaos around them]

Fleck: Between me and you, Johnson, I think the CEO's startin' to lose it. I mean, take a look around, will you? It's the Fall of Rome around here! It's Darwin time, you know what I'm saying? Survival of the least expendable.

Johnson: Remember the Old Man, Jeff. Everyone's expendable.

Donut Jerk: What can I do for you, pal?

Hold-Up Man: [pulls out gun] Um... Nobody move! Everything in the register - now! Do it!

[a dozen or more cops, seated around the shop, aim their guns at the hold up man, who straightaway surrenders]

Donut Jerk: What's it like being a rocket scientist?

Splatterpunk #1: Clock it, Jack. Megazone invasion.

Splatterpunk #2: Pop a tranq, hypo-head. Splatterville's ours. Shoot him in the mouth, splatterbrain!

Splatterpunk #1: Cyborg eats bullets, Jack!

Splatterpunk #2: Not tonight, he don't.

Johnson: That's the fourth one this month.

Fleck: Chicken shit! I'd eat a bullet, myself. Less showy.

Dr. Marie Lazarus: Oh, my God. How did you get this?

Bertha: Stole it from the police depot. Why?

Moreno: You know, this looks like the exhaust system from an F-27.

Dr. Marie Lazarus: No, it's the prototype for Robo's flight pack. The funding ran out before we got a chance to test it.

Bertha: How do you know so much about it?

Dr. Marie Lazarus: Oh, I designed it.

Zack: [chortles] Well, it looks like the odds on the home team just went up.

Rehab in War Room: Commander. Detroit police are out there, sir. They're fighting against us.

Paul McDaggett: So? We have a schedule to keep.

The CEO: We don't fire on police officers. You're out of line, McDaggett. I'm still in charge here. I'm pulling the plug.

Paul McDaggett: Sit down.

The CEO: What, you gone war wacky?

Paul McDaggett: [points his gun at The CEO] I said sit down.

Nikko: How we getting out of here, anyway?

Dr. Marie Lazarus: Nikko! How did you get...? No, never mind. Did you see a transmission dish outside?

Nikko: Yeah, and I was just watching the Media Break guy pick his nose.

[the CEO and Johnson watches helplessly as, thanks to Dr. Lazarus' speech, OCP's stock plummets]

The CEO: [shocked and horrified] Oh, my God, Johnson. Our stock has dropped to nothing. We're ruined.

Bertha: Where the hell is Robocop?

Moreno: We could drive around and listen for explosions?

Nikko: You know what Bertha says? She says that if we hold back the Rehabs for just two more days, they won't be able to make us move. And they'll have to let my parents go. And we'll all be together like family again.

Robocop: Your parents?

[Robocop has a flashback to an earlier scene in which he searched for data on Nikko and discovered that her parents were reported deceased]

Nikko: [Nikko looks at Murphy curiously] Murphy, you okay?

Robocop: Your parents, you miss them?

Nikko: [Nikko looks down somberly] Yeah.

Robocop: But... You remember them. Because... If you remember them, they're never really gone.
