Movie Quote Quiz

Beck Gold: Worried about your robot lover?
Roger Smith: Don't be ridiculous, Beck, that's physically impossible.
R. Dorothy Wayneright: What do you mean "impossible"? You're so cruel, Roger Smith, you're so cruel.

R. Dorothy Wayneright: What exactly are you? A human? An android just like me? I'm unable to determine what you are.
Alan Gabriel: I'm the boogeyman.

Alex Rosewater: This world has a New Order now! It has a new God.

Roger Smith: Er - it was dark! I couldn't see in that dump.

Alan Gabriel: Destroying pretty dolls is always entertaining. But it'll be so difficult to match the pleasure I'll get, from destroying a work of art like you.

Roger Smith: Well, I do have some household rules, Dorothy, and while living here you're obligated to observe every one of them.

Roger Smith: The first one is a rule that even I follow. If you stay here, then you wear black.

Schwarzwald: I've lived my life as a newspaper reporter. I uncover the truth and write my articles. But then I learned, all too well, that a mere reporter like myself can't ever get to the truth in this city... it's nearly impossible. And it's unsure! No one here is even interested in learning the truth - a truth that must be known. But I want to know! I want to learn what must be known.

Roger Smith: We have choices. Some people like to stand in the rain without an umbrella. That's what it means to live free.

Show generally

Question: Can someone PLEASE explain the ending? The whole show was pretty confusing, particularly why everything disappeared at the end, why people lost their memories, etc.

Azureth

Chosen answer: The show was originally planned to have a second season, but then it was dropped because of low ratings in Japan, thus the abrupt ending leaving everything unexplained and out in the open. Still, the show was so popular on TV in the US that The Cartoon Network decided to finance the production of the second season, which is right now coming out on DVD (I think the first three volumes are already out). This should end up tying everything nicely.
