Quotes
VENTRILOQUIST: But you're gone! I'm cured!
SCARFACE: Cured? I ain't a case of the sniffles, Dummy! And I don't roll
over just 'cause some quack waves a two-dollar watch at me! Nobody pulls
my strings, Dummy. Especially not you!
--
SCARFACE: How long are you gonna stand there and stare? Gimmie a
ballpark so I can plan my day.
--
BATGIRL: Tell me Bruce Wayne could voice activate that door.
BATMAN: He could if he were outside.
--
SCARFACE: When the muscle starts to think it's the brains, then it's
time to amputate.
Review: Not a very exciting
Ventriloquist / Scarface episode if you ask me. "Read My Lips" still
reigns supreme as the best Ventriloquist / Scarface episode.
There were some clever devices used in order to get Ventriloquist and
Scarface back together, but overall, you usually end up waiting for the
episode to end.
The only plus to this was the animation. Where the drawing lacked quite
a bit, it was made up for with smooth fight scenes, and my personal
favorite, when Wesker is nervously looking around. His head was well
drawn and most people have problems with drawing turning heads. Still,
the overall image was not that brilliant.
