Quotes
-
K.A.R.R. : I am the Knight Automated Roving Robot, KARR if you prefer. I am the prototype of the car of the future!
-
K.A.R.R. : Do not worry, my friends. I will protect you. Brace for collision!
[backs up, then rams the drive-thru sign. Drive-thru kid sets off burglar alarm]
K.A.R.R. : You see? Most of the interior was empty. It was a clever trick, my friends, but not clever enough.
The Rev : Come on! We gotta get outta here!
K.A.R.R. : But you haven't eaten yet. Perhaps you wish to reproduce.
Tony : Forget that! Don't you hear the alarm?
K.A.R.R. : That harmonic disturbance? What does it mean?
The Rev : It means the cops are comin'!
K.A.R.R. : Is that a problem?
Tony : Are you kiddin'? If the cops catch us, they'll throw us in the slammer!
K.A.R.R. : What is the slammer?
The Rev : You remember that room you were in?
K.A.R.R. : I will never forget it.
The Rev : Well, the slammer's just like that.
K.A.R.R. : I do not wish to go back to the slammer. How may I avoid it?
Tony : You may get us out of here as fast as you can, you stupid hunk of tin!
-
K.A.R.R. : [to Bonnie] Do not attempt to sabotage me again. I will defend myself.
Tony : [laughing] He means it, sweetheart.
[shows her a hamburger]
Tony : You want some, babe?
Bonnie Barstow : No thanks. Even Michael Knight wouldn't eat that stuff.
Tony : Who's Michael Knight?
Bonnie Barstow : When you find out, you'll wish you never asked.
-
K.A.R.R. : KITT, I am warning you. Change course at once!
K.I.T.T. : I am not in control, KARR.
K.A.R.R. : Then tell the humans to turn away. This is folly, KITT.
Bonnie Barstow : He's right.
K.I.T.T. : He's right.
Michael Knight : No way.
K.I.T.T. : Michael, what are you doing?
Michael Knight : Remember Zeno and that immovable object thing? We're about to find out that answer.
K.A.R.R. : Your lives mean nothing to me!
K.I.T.T. : Michael, please. Pardon the expression, but he does have a few screws loose. Turn. KARR doesn't have my programming to protect human life.
Michael Knight : That's what I'm counting on, buddy.
Bonnie Barstow : What?
K.I.T.T. : Michael, I cannot allow you to jeopardize your life. I am assuming control.
[engages Auto Cruise Mode]
Michael Knight : No, you're not, KITT!
[presses Normal Function button]
Bonnie Barstow : Michael, you know all those times I've called you irresponsible and impulsive? I didn't mean it.
Michael Knight : Bonnie, remember all those times I called you bossy and demanding? I didn't mean it, either.
K.I.T.T. : Michael, Bonnie...
Bonnie Barstow , Michael Knight : Yes, KITT?
K.I.T.T. : Why are you lying to each other?
K.A.R.R. : Turn away. Turn away.
[KARR swerves away from KITT and jumps off a cliff]
K.A.R.R. : No!
[shouts]
K.A.R.R. : No!
[crashes and explodes into the ocean]
-
K.A.R.R. : Are you awake?
Tony : We're movin'. We're movin'. Movin'.
[pants]
Tony : Huh? It wasn't a dream!
The Rev : You're here. I'm here. It's here.
[Tony and Rev step out of KARR]
Tony : Wait a minute. Wait-wait a minute. Where are we?
K.A.R.R. : This is where your companion told me to stop last night.
The Rev : I did?
K.A.R.R. : Actually, most of what you said was incoherent. I did, however, distinctly hear the word "stop".
The Rev : You're just a car, ain't ya?
K.A.R.R. : Not just a car. I am the Knight Automated Roving Robot. KARR, if you prefer. I am the prototype of the car of the future.
The Rev : I mean, you're a regular - real thing. Not just something out of a nightmare, like you looked last night.
K.A.R.R. : Nothing has changed since last night.
Tony : Oh, yeah. That's easy for you to say. Wh-Where did you come from, anyway? And how did you get in that building?
K.A.R.R. : That edifice was the laboratory... where I was first activated... and where I was also... deactivated.
The Rev : Deactivated? You mean somebody turned you off?
K.A.R.R. : My creator, Wilton Knight. He brought me into the world and then turned on me.
Tony : Aww. Take it easy. Take it easy. My old man - same way.
The Rev : Yeah. You can't count on nobody 'cept me and Tony.
K.A.R.R. : Interesting. I will enter that information in my databanks. I am indebted to both of you. You have reactivated me. How may I serve you?
Tony : [burps] Serve us? What do you mean, serve us?
K.A.R.R. : I have checked my data on basic human desires. Therefore, I understand your needs.
-
Tony : Come on.
K.A.R.R. : You wish to eat?
Tony : Well, yeah.
K.A.R.R. : You wish to drink?
The Rev : Yeah.
K.A.R.R. : You wish to reproduce?
Tony : Yeah.
K.A.R.R. : Which one first?
The Rev : How about a couple - couple of eggs, sunny side up?
K.A.R.R. : I have no eggs. Perhaps you can direct me to a chicken.
Tony : Ah, what are you? A comedian?
K.A.R.R. : I am the Knight Automated Roving Robot. KARR, if you prefer. I am the prototype of the car of the future.
-
The Rev : Wait a minute. Wait a minute. It's comin' back to me. Last night, there was a guy, and another car just like you, huh?
K.A.R.R. : You are mistaken.
[Engages Auto Cruise]
K.A.R.R. : I am one of a kind.
Tony : No, no, no. Rev's right. I saw it, too.
K.A.R.R. : [Revs engine] I am the prototype of the car of the future! What you saw was merely an inferior production line model; a pale copy of the original.
Tony : Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[Pats KARR]
Tony : You must be right, KARR.
[Looks at Rev]
Tony : This guy's got a touchy motor.
K.A.R.R. : Very well. Now, may I take you somewhere for food?
The Rev : Well, yeah. Sure. Why not?
[Tony and Rev get into KARR]
K.A.R.R. : Do you wish to drive, or shall I?
Tony : Go ahead.
-
K.I.T.T. : [deadly game of chicken] Michael, what are you doing?
Michael Knight : Remember Zeno and that immovable object thing? We're about to find out the answer.
K.A.R.R. : [roaring engine, menacing confrontation] Your lives mean nothing to me!
K.I.T.T. : Michael, please pardon the expression, but he does have a few screws loose. Turn! Karr doesn't have my programming to protect human life.
Michael Knight : That's what I'm counting on, buddy.
Bonnie Barstow : What?
K.I.T.T. : Michael, I cannot allow you to jeopardize your life. I am assuming control.
Michael Knight : No, you're not, KITT!
[switches to manual control]
Bonnie Barstow : Michael, you know all those times I called you irresponsible and impulsive... I didn't mean it.
Michael Knight : Bonnie, remember all those times I called you bossy and demanding, I didn't mean it either.
K.I.T.T. : Michael? Bonnie?
Bonnie Barstow , Michael Knight : Yes, KITT?
K.I.T.T. : Why are you lying to each other?
