30 Best Spike Spiegel Quotes

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

Spike: There once was a tiger striped cat. This cat died a million deaths, revived and lived a million lives, and he was owned by various people who he didn't really 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, and the two of them spent their days together happily.

Vicious: THEN WHY ARE YOU STILL ALIVE?

Spike: If you made it up, how can you be the 4th?

Jet: [pause] Have you heard this story? A man injures his leg during the hunt. He's in the middle of the savannah, with no means to treat the wound. The leg rots and death approaches. The last minute he's picked up by an airplane. He looks down and sees a land of pure white below him, glistening in the light. It's the summit of a snow-capped mountain, the mountain is Kilimanjaro. As he gazes down he feels the life flowing out of him and he thinks, 'That's where I was headed...

Jet: Turn back. You told me when we first met... that you were a man who had already died once. Just forget the past, okay?

Spike: Whatever happens, happens.

Jet: So you're not gonna help me, are you? That's it! You've really gone too far. Then don't come back, there won't be a place for you.
[Spike then puts his coat in the cockpit of his ship]
Spike: That's your call, pal.
[Jet grunts]
Spike: Anyway, at least you won't be lonely now, not with your weird roommates.

Spike: You think I'm Vicious? YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT VICIOUS IS!

Spike: There was a woman, first time I'd found someone who was truly alive. At least, that's what I thought. She was... the part of me I'd lost somewhere along the way, the part that was missing, that I'd been longing for.
