Elvis is a demon? I'll buy that.

Hehe.

[He sees an odd multi-legged gold and grey platform off in the

An allusion to BSSM, I presume. Well, it's not Mars, but...

Hai.  The idea was that he was right and not right in his statement that
no Hibiki has ever gone to Mars.  Mars, no.  Other planets, yes :)

Grandma:  It's a pity that my husband and I have to go hide at 
the bottom of the Paris sewer in a few hours.  I was looking 
forward to seeing your parents again.  Really.

Saotome Secret Technique #502: Get rid of Unwanted In-Laws by
inviting *their* In-Laws over.

Hai!

 

Grandpa:  Didn't they swear to eat the heart of every Saotome if 
they ever saw any of us again?

If most Saotomes are like Genma's parents, then I'd probably swear
that too if one married *my* daughter.

Yep :)
 

Onna-Happousai:  [advances on Akane]  Would you like to 
participate in a demonstration of whether or not I'm lying?

Akane:  [big eyes]  Umm...no.

Happousai's actually showing some sense here. BTW: I liked the
comic relief provided by Shinnosuke in this and later scenes.

Thanks.  He's a lot of fun.

Grandma Tanuki:  [pats his shoulder]  I merely said that he 
would do that if we were lucky, dear.

I like them. They make a nice counterbalance to Genma's parents.

Quite deliberate on my part :)

Shinnosuke:  Well, it didn't use to have three heads, but I 
recognize Sparky.  Come here, Sparky!  [makes come hither 
gestures to the dog, which stops snarling and bounds forward, 
knocking down Shinnosuke and licking him]

Cerberus is Shinnosuke's pet?

No, Sparky is :0  Cerebrus eventually got old and retired, so Death hired
Shinnosuke's dog after he died :)

 

Ukyou:  I was thinking of the fact that you're going to burn to 
ash.

Cigarette Demon:  ...

It seems that all of the lesser villains and lackeys in any story are
never very bright, doesn't it?

This is usually how our heroes survived to the end of the game :)

I hate pinball.

Reminds me of Dragonball episode #11. (English title: The Penalty is...
Pinball!)

Ahh, did this happen in a Dragonball episode?  I was thinking of trapping
her in a giant Pachinko machine :)
 

Monk #4:  You didn't have to hit me in the head, Bruce!

Monk #18:  Yes, but only violence makes you shut up, Bruce.  

Lemme guess: they're all Bruce.

Not QUITE all.  Some of them are the various Robins :)

 

Monk #3:  [to Ranma]  Who are you and why have you come to the 
temple of the Angry Buddha?

Hitomi:  [flatly]  I'm an idiot.

Monk #9:  Well, I have to say your honesty is refreshing.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

Hitomi DOES get the good lines :)

 

Ranma:  [yawns]  Hi, Dad.  Having a staring contest?

Grandma Tanuki:  He isn't leaving this table until he cleans his 
plate.

So, Genma doesn't want to eat all of his vegetables...

Hai!
