Time Bandits Good vs. Evil Quotes

How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Time Bandits.

Quote #1

EVIL: No one created me! I am Evil! Evil existed long before good. I made myself. I cannot be unmade. I am all-powerful!

He's not, of course, and we find out at the end that God most definitely made him. But his blindness on this front is one of the few weaknesses we see in him. Evil is a pretty arrogant dude, which seems to be his most defining character trait.

Quote #2

EVIL: God isn't interested in technology. He cares nothing for the microchip or the silicon revolution. Look how he spends his time, 43 species of parrots! Nipples for men!

ROBERT: Slugs?

EVIL: Slugs! He created slugs! They can't hear. They can't speak. They can't operate machinery. Are we not in the hands of a lunatic?

Here is a more precise definition of Evil: someone interested in technology and machines instead of living things. It's not exactly subtle, but it gets the point across.

Quote #3

KEVIN: Who was that man?

FIDGIT: That was no man. That was the Supreme Being.

KEVIN: You mean God?

FIDGIT: Well, we don't know him that well. We only work for him.

Here's a little humor used to describe God. It's an old vaudeville gag, but it reminds us that you can poke fun at good from time to time. Good can take it.
