Frank Miller's Super Mario Bros. (Episode 4)

Toad

The whiskey burns, but I let it roll in my mouth for a while as I stare into my glass, trying to keep my eyes off the stage.  I'm making this drink last.  The whiskey still burns my cracked lips, stings like needles as it washes over my bleeding gums.  Doesn't matter.  I'm just sick of tasting my own blood lately.  I been beat up every time I turn around, and there ain't a doctor around that can fix what's wrong with me.

Frank Miller's Super Mario Bros. (Episode 1)

Bowser

What do I have to do?

The question seeps like a broken sore in my brain.  That cold fear returns, and with it a sense of inevitability.  An answer sneers out of the darkness, like a ghost that lurks in the shadows, waiting to rush out when I turn my back.  "Nothing," it says, "You know this is hopeless.  You're a joke.  You're not worth a damn, and you never were."

It ain't the answer I want, but it's the only one that makes any goddamn sense.
