Watchmen Quotes

    Rorschach's Journal: Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face.
    The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown.:
    The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save Us!"...:
    ...and I'll look down, and whisper, "No".:

    Police Detective: I think you take this vigilante stuff too seriously. Since the Keene Act was passed in '77 only the government-sponsored weirdos are active. They don't interfere.
    Detective Steve Fine: Screw them. What about Rorschach? Rorschach never retired, even after him and his buddies fell out of grace. Rorschach's still out there somewhere. He's crazier than a snake's armpit and wanted on two counts of Murder One. We got a cozy little homicide here. If he gets involved, we'll be up to our butts in corpses.

    [Rorschach informs the former Nite Owl II of the Comedian's death.]
    Dan Dreiberg: Maybe this was a political killing?
    Rorschach: Maybe. Or maybe someone's picking off costumed heroes.
    Dreiberg: Um. Don't you think that's maybe a little paranoid?
    Rorschach: That's what they're saying about me now? That I'm paranoid?
    ...
    Rorschach: Used to come here often, back when we were partners.
    Dreiberg: Oh. Uh, yeah... yeah, those were great times, Rorschach. Great times. Whatever happened to them?
    Rorschach: [exiting] You quit.

    Happy Harry the Bartender: [scared] Ruh. Ror. Ror. Rorschach! Har Har How are ya doin', fella?
    Rorschach: I'm fine, Happy Harry. Yourself?
    Happy Harry: Fine! I'm fuh, I'm fine! And I'm, and I'm, and I'm glad you're fine too! And uh, and uh... Oh God. Please don't kill anybody.
Go See The Movie!!! It's Great!!!
