It would seem that the Short Circuit remake is well and truly underway now, so to show our support (which will almost inevitably wane after today), here’s a list of our favourite Number 5 quotes:
Short Circuit (1986)
“Number 5 stupid name… want to be Kevin or Dave!”
“Frankie, you broke the unwritten law. You ratted on your friends. When you do that Frankie, your enemies don’t respect you. You got no friends no more. You got nobody, Frankie.”
“Well, if you gotta go, don’t squeeze the Charmin.”
“Error. Grasshopper disassembled… Re-assemble!”
“Oooooo! Beautiful. Light bulb.”
“Attractive! Nice software.”
Short Circuit 2 (1988)
“How do I feel? I feel… ALIVE!”
“Los locos kick your ass. Los locos kick your face. Los locos kick your balls into outer space!”
“It’s me! Isn’t that special?”
“Christ, lived from 1 to 33AD.”
“Oh, yeah? Well, recycle this, you meshuggana schmuck!”
“Two excellent books. May I have these craphead?”
“It’s the all-new Johnny Five! Just look at these items! Increased memory: five hundred megabytes on-line! I come with a utility pack and dozens of gadgets for outdoor living, lots of Greenpeace stickers, and even my own Nike swoosh! And, if you act now, I’ll throw in, absolutely free, my all-new, multi-frequency remote control!”
