Aunty Entity: This is no enemy. It's almost family.
Max: Oh, I see, real civilized!
Aunty Entity: The reasons don't concern you, only the conditions. Do you want the deal or not?
Max: Mmm
[nods in agreement]
The Collector: The first is, no one knows you're working for Aunty. You hit him, you go. The second is, it's a fair fight. The third is, it's to the death.
Max: Who's the bunny?
|
Max: I ain't Captain Walker. I'm the guy who carries Mr. Dead in his pocket.

[last lines]
Savannah Nix: Time counts and keeps countin', and we knows now finding the trick of what's been and lost ain't no easy ride. But that's our trek, we gotta' travel it. And there ain't nobody knows where it's gonna' lead. Still in all, every night we does the tell, so that we 'member who we was and where we came from.....but most of all we 'members the man that finded us, him that came the salvage. And we lights the city, not just for him, but for all of them that are still out there. 'Cause we knows there come a night, when they sees the distant light, and they'll be comin' home.

The Master: You want foot in face?
|
Max: Who are you?
Slake: We're the waiting ones.
|
Barter Town Crowd: Two men enter, one man leave!
|
Master: These our witness, Aunty. Us suffer bad. Want justice. We want Thunderdome!
Aunty Entity: You know the law: Two men enter, one man leaves.
Master: This Blaster! Twenty men enter, only him leave!
Aunty Entity: Then it's your choice. Thunderdome.
|
Max: I don't know anything about methane.
Aunty Entity: You can shovel shit can't you?
|
Aunty Entity: Do you know who I was? Nobody. Except on the day after, I was still alive. This nobody had a chance to be somebody.
|
Aunty Entity: Remember where you are - this is Thunderdome, and death is listening, and will take the first man that screams.

[the Blaster has reduced Bartertown's power supply]
Auntie Entity: For God's sake, what now?
The Master: Who run Bartertown?
Auntie Entity: Dammit, I told you, no more embargos.
The Master: More, Blaster.
[the Blaster puts all power out]
The Master: Who run Bartertown? Who... run... Bartertown?
Auntie Entity: ...You know who.
The Master: Say.
Auntie Entity: Master Blaster.
The Master: Say loud!
[the Master turns on the town loudspeakers]

[Max recognizes Jedediah]
Max: YOU!
Jedediah the Pilot: Me?
Max: You, it's your lucky day!
Jedediah the Pilot: It is?
Max: Uh huh. You've got a plane.
Jedediah the Pilot: I have?
[Outside, a plane is being started]
Max: It might just save your life.
Jedediah the Pilot: It will?
Max: Uh huh.
|
Dr. Dealgood: Right now, I've got two men, two men with a gut full of fear. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls... dyin' times here!
|
Aunty Entity: You think I don't know the law? Wasn't it me who wrote it? And I say that this man has broken the law. Right or wrong, we had a deal. And the law says: bust a deal and face the wheel!
|
Max: Thunderdome. How do I get in there?
Aunty Entity: That's easy. Pick a fight!
|
Aunty Entity: Congratulations! You're the first to survive the audition!
|
Max: The first place you'll find is a sleaze-pit called Bartertown. Now if the earth doesn't swallow you up first, that place sure as hell will!
|
Jedediah Jr.: [armed with more guns than he can hold] This is a stickup! Anybody moves, and they're dead meat!
Max: [turns around and looks at the approaching vehicles]
Jedediah Jr.: Oh, no, I think we're all dead meat!
|
Aunty Entity: And what did you do before all this?
Max: I was a cop, a driver.
Aunty Entity: But how the world turns. One day, cock of the walk. Next, a feather duster.
|
Master: Me order! Me Master! Me run Bartertown!
Max: Sure, that's why you live in shit!
Master: Not shit! Energy!
Max: Call it what you like. It still smells like shit to me!
|
The Collector: Perhaps you've got something to trade after all.
Max: Keep talkin'
The Collector: Twenty-four hours of your life, in return, you'll get back what was stolen.
Max: Sounds like a bargain.
The Collector: It's not.
|
Auntie Entity: Well, ain't we a pair, Raggedy Man.
[Laughs]
Auntie Entity: Goodbye, soldier.
|
Blackfinger: [after inspecting a bomb] It's a class job. One mistake, and it'll blow the crap out of this place! Literally.
|
Aunty Entity: We call it Underworld. That's where Bartertown gets its energy.
Max: What, oil? Natural gas?
Aunty Entity: Pigs.
Max: You mean pigs like those?
Aunty Entity: That's right.
Max: Bullshit!
Aunty Entity: No. Pig shit.
Max: What?
The Collector: Pig shit. The lights, the motors, the vehicles, all run by a high-powered gas called methane. And methane cometh from pig shit.
|
Jedediah the Pilot: We're not gonna make it.
Max: We haven't got any choice.
Jedediah the Pilot: between them and us, there isn't enough runway.
Max: There will be.
|
Max: So, what's the plan?
Pigkiller: [laughing] PLAN? There ain't no plan!
|
[Pig Killer's leg been impaled to the door with a spear]
Max: [grabbing the door] Okay, we're going to count to three. One...
[Max rips open the door, freeing Pig Killer's impaled leg]
Pigkiller: [whimpering, in pain] What happened to two...?

Pigkiller: [sees that Max has discovered Blaster's weakness] Mr., who are ya?
Max: No-one
Pigkiller: What's your name?
Max: Nobody.
Pigkiller: No Mr., I can feel it! The dice are rollin'!
|
Pigkiller: Remember: no matter where you go, there you are.
