  Spike Spiegel : Bang!

• Spike Spiegel : Ever heard this story?

  Jet Black : Huh?

  Spike Spiegel : There once was a tiger-striped cat. This cat died a million deaths, revived & lived a million lives, and he was owned by various people who he really didn't care for. The cat wasn't afraid to die. Then one day the cat became a stray cat which meant he was free. He met a white female cat & the two of them spent their days together happily. Well, years passed & the white cat grew weak & died of old age. The tiger-striped cat cried a million times, & then he died too. Except this time, he didn't come back to life.

  Jet Black : Yeah. That's a good story.

  Spike Spiegel : I hate that story.

  Jet Black : Huh?

  Spike Spiegel : I never liked cats, you know that.

  Jet Black : Oh yeah, that's right.

  [Spike and Jet begin laughing together] 

• Spike Spiegel : I'm not going there to die. I'm going to find out if I'm really alive. I have to do it, Faye.

• Spike Spiegel : Look at my eyes, Faye. One of them is a fake because I lost it in an accident. Since then, I've been seeing the past in one eye and the present in the other. So, I thought I could only see patches of reality, never the whole picture.

  Faye Valentine : Don't tell things like that. You never told me anything about yourself, so dont tell me now!

  Spike Spiegel : I felt like I was watching a dream I could never wake up from. Before I knew it, the dream was all over.
