The Cape (2010 TV series)/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • From the preview:

The Cape: ... and study your math - you need to work on your math.

  • Also:

The Cape: What are you, twelve?
Orwell: You’re the one wearing long underwear and a cape.
The Cape: ... Fair enough.

  • In the second episode, The Cape is in a store when it is robbed; after foiling the robbery, the owner asks who he is.

The Cape: I'm The Cape.
Store Owner: Okay. You can work on it.

  • The hypnotism scene.
  • "...do we think the...raccoon....acted alone?"
  • Max's "death" scene in the pilot. It looks like a standard-issue Mentor Occupational Hazard - until he wakes back up, annoyed that he's not actually dead and he wasted that great speech.
  • Pretty much all of the conversation between Orwell and Vince while he's poisoned.

Orwell: Are you even listening to me?
Vince: Off and on. I'm dying.

  • From Goggles & Hicks, when Dana comes home after the blackout caused by the eponymous assassins, and finds Trip and his new friend Jerry on the floor with containers of ice cream nearby.

Dana: What is this?
Trip: We didn't want it to spoil.
Jerry: Mistakes were made.

  • When Gregor is asking around the poker table about the Cape, one of the guys he's talking to says someone is running around with something similar. Gregor asks for the name of the man wearing the Cape. The response? "The Cape." The annoyed/headache look on Gregor's face is priceless.
  • When Rollo is taking Orwell to the Carnival, he yells "Hey, you clowns, get out of the way!" This is followed by...clowns, desperately getting out of the way.
