He ’s notoriously messy , which is one of the biggest bones of contention between him and Liz Sherman , his girlfriend in thedel Toro films . Liz is exacerbate when she finds her soup-strainer in a can of cat food for thought , but if it ’s her brush , how did it get there in the first home ?
HB laments to his buddy Abe Sapien how Liz anticipate too much from him inHellboy II : The Golden Army , saying , " I would give my life for her , but she also need me to do the dishes . " distinctly risking his own pelt is much easier for Red than plainly doing his part of household chores .
“Red, White, Whatever.”
While Hellboy is get laid for many a wisecrack , Liz also has her share of great stock , including one she makes whenAgent John Meyers , who wore out his usefulness after del Toro ’s first celluloid , tries to appraise her pastime in him during a mission . Liz get to it clear how annoyed she is that he ’s askingnow , saying , " blood-red , lily-white , whatever … Guys are all the same . "
Liz is n’t given other female characters to work with , which is a shame , but it ’s refreshing to have her present as a B.P.R.D. federal agent with her nous on the occupation rather of romance .
“Some Dads Give Their Kids Legos.”
One of the best lines from the latest HB picture show occur when Hellboy take care at his six-shooter and remark , " Some dad give their kid Legos . " The man Hellboy calls father naturally gives his " son " weapons to help him destroy monster .
Of naturally , Professor Broom is n’t HB ’s tangible Church Father , and Red remind us of this when he state , " He ’s credibly compensate because he ’s not my tangible dad . " Both lines are uproarious and exploit well within Mignola ’s world . If only the movie itself , which tried to outfit in too much Hellboy lore and different plot lines in at once , could say the same .
“Rotten Eggs And The Safety Of Mankind.”
The relationship betweenAbe Sapienand Hellboy is much more comical in Guillermo del Toro ’s adaptation , which is sometimes a lilliputian cringey ( " I ca n’t smile without you ! " ) but often works well . When Abe is nervous about a mission , for example , he asks Red to prompt him why he does this solve again .
Hellboy like a shot reply , " shitty ballock and the rubber of mankind . " Abe does n’t miss a beat , replying , " Ah , " before he risks his life during the dangerous operation . This is obviously gallows bodily fluid , specially since Abe ends up in fairly critical condition , but we apprise it breaking the tension in this second .
“Red Means Stop!”
In the first del Toro movie , Perlman gets a chance to deliver several great one - line drive . One of the best is when he ’s chasing after a monster and he says , " Red mean value block !

A couple of other great one - liners include , " Second particular date , no tongue ! " while struggle the hellhound , and end the battle with " I ’m fireproof . You ’re not , " which comes in ready to hand later when explaining why Liz Sherman can throw him while on ardor .
“Glasshole.”
InHellboy II : The Golden Army , the tension with Manning from the first pic has grown moth-eaten and is replaced by some head - butting with Dr. Krauss , who later becomes an ally . When Dr. Krauss propose that he " can take " Hellboy and proves himself correct , it ’s one of the most hilarious scene in the film .
The ectoplasmic intent schools Hellboy with verbal lessons along with strong-arm ones , using Seth MacFarlane ’s voice , no less . When he suggests that HB find out to ensure his biliousness before strutting off in song , Hellboy murmuring , " Glasshole , " referring to Johann ’s containment suit , which features a glass portion .
“Have You Looked In The Mirror Lately?”
When Ben Daimio point out , " I mean we were supposed to be fighting monsters , not work with them , " in the 2019 film , fans scoff at the irony , especially those who knew Daimio from the comics and all of the equipment casualty he caused . Like most of the characters in the reboot , Daimio was n’t give enough character development to really pop in the movie , but he should have been a much more complicated case .
Still , HB made people snort when the affronted half - demon retorted , " Who are you phone a monster , pal ? Have you looked in the mirror recently ? " Ben got a couple of good lines in , too , such as call for Hellboy , " Were you look a sign of the zodiac that says ' mystic home base ' ? " when HB questionably eyed the construction .
“Didn’t Even Buy Me A Drink.”
Perlman ’s Hellboy is a witty red rapscallion , immediately replying to grave spot or educational activity with snarky humor and diffusing the tension — or dealing with stress using laugh , as many superheroes tend to do . When Abe remarks that Sammael had laid three egg inside HB ’s pelt after come to him for five second , HB flout , " Did n’t even buy me a drink . "
It ’s a hilarious telephone line , but it also depict Red cover with something super revenue that would unnerve most of us . have eggs lay in one ’s hide is a incubus of horrific proportions , but Hellboy portion out with it with his trademark grit and moxie .
“Lucy, I’m Home.”
Hellboy II : The Golden Armywasn’t as gritty as its predecessor , but it was a ocular treat that incorporated the traditional knowledge and various goliath used in the Hellboy universe much more elegantly than the reboot . display case in point : the Fragglewump that HB faced , complete with a canary . He called out , " Lucy , I ’m home ! " before approach her and get in the Goblin Market , which could be used for a whole series of HB picture show .
Golden Armyfeatured a few other good one - liners , from " You woke up the baby ! " to " I ’m gon na get me Big Baby , " which both refer to very different baby , one a human , the other HB ’s beloved gas pedal . His " Open astray ! " and " Oh , crap ! " are n’t as clever , but do deliver laughs .
“I’ll Always Look This Good.”
Hellboy ’s pretty insecure about his looks , going so far as to register down his horns to fit in . It pleases him to no end when Liz says he is the best " man " she hump , and it pains him to think she might prefer the ho-hum John Myers over him just because Myers await normal .
When the squad channelize off to confront Rasputin in the first del Toro film , HB takes Liz aside for a moment and says , " I wish I could do something about this , " gesturing to his own face . " But I ca n’t . But I can promise you two things . One : I ’ll always appear this trade good . And two : I ’ll never give up on you … ever .
