The Garbage Pail Kids Movie1987
Dodger:
[starting work unloading a crate] Do you sell much of this stuff? We've only had two customers and they didn't buy anything.
Captain Manzini:
Patience is a bitter vine, dear Dodger, but it bears sweet fruit.
Dodger:
Huh?
Captain Manzini:
That's from the Greek. It loses a little something in translation. Now, let's add a little sparkle to our merchandise. [hands Dodger a feather duster] Funny people should call this junk, isn't it? When every piece is a diary of the human spirit. [holds book, looks at inside cover] Take this, for instance. "To my darling Mary, from Herbert." This is more than a book. It's a testimony to love.
Dodger:
[holds up teddy bear] And this?
Captain Manzini:
Ah, did the child who slept with this grow up to shake the world?
Dodger:
[hands Manzini a fold-out fan] Tell me about this, Captain Manzini
Captain Manzini:
Ah, an early form of air conditioning. [waves folded-out fan in Dodger's face] Also, a tool of romance. It could beckon... [holds fan up to own face and waves toward it]... or rebuff. [folds up fan, taps Dodger on the shoulder with it]
Dodger:
Did you ever get beckoned?
Captain Manzini:
Yes. I also got rebuffed. But like me, this is a relic from a simpler age, when good and bad was black-and-white. And a man could settle all his differences with one of these. [holds up fencing sword, hands it to Dodger] Then some damn fool invented gunpowder, and a bigger damn fool split the atom. That's when I decided to leave mankind to it's folly and retire here. Into this world of memories
