A Boy and His Dog

A Boy and His Dog

For the film adaptation, see A Boy and His Dog (1975 film), for the unrelated 1946 short film, see A Boy and His Dog (1946 film). A Boy and His Dog is a cycle of narratives by author Harlan Ellison. The cycle tells the story of a boy (Vic) and his telepathic dog (Blood), who work together as a team to survive in the post-apocalyptic world after a nuclear war. The original 1969 novella was adapted into the 1975 film A Boy and His Dog directed by L. Q. Jones. Both the story and the film were well received by critics and science fiction fans, but the film was not successful commercially. The original novella was followed by short stories and a graphic novel.

Vic:
Hell! They didn't have to cut her! She could have been used two or three more times!

Blood:
Ah, war is hell.

Blood:
A cautous young fellow named Lodge / Had seatbelts installed in his Dodge. / When his date was strapped in / He committed a sin / Without even leaving the garage. That's clever, isn't it?

Vic:
[to sentry] If my gun picks up one rust spot you're gonna wake up with a crowd around 'ya.

Lou Craddock:
Lack of respect, wrong attitude, failure to obey authority.

Blood:
Well, I'd certainly say she had marvelous judgment, Albert, if not particularly good taste.

Blood:
Now let's run through the modern Presidents.

Vic:
What good's all this history crap gonna do me?

Blood:
Just do the Presidents.

Vic:
Oh, God! Eisenhower, Truman...

Blood:
TRUMAN, Eisenhower!

Vic:
Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Kennedy, Kennedy, Kennedy...

Blood:
You know, Albert, sometimes you can be such a putz...

Vic:
A putz? What's a putz? It's somethin' bad, isn't it? You better take that back or I'm gonna kick your fuzzy butt!

Blood:
[sighs] Yep, definitely a putz.

Lou Craddock:
Let's get another Michael out of the warehouse. This time make sure the engineering department wipes that smile off his face.

Blood:
I hope the next time you play with yourself, you go blind.

Lou Craddock:
When we put this in, then we'll add that.

Blood:
Pull up your pants, Romeo.

Blood:
Breeding is an ugly thing.
