Quotes
Rick: Cute. Your sister’s boss gave me a microscope that would have made me retarded.
Morty: Ooo, oh boy Rick, I-I don’t think you’re allowed to say that word. Ya know?
Rick: Uh Morty, I’m not disparaging the differently abled. I’m stating the fact that if I had used this microscope it would have made me mentally retarded.
Morty: Ok but yeah, I don’t think it’s about logic, Rick. I-I think the word has just become a symbolic issue for powerful groups that feel like they’re doing the right thing.
Rick: Well that’s retarded.
Mr. Goldenfold: This aftershave made women want me but it also made me impotent!
Mr. Needful: A price for everything, Mr. Goldenfold. A price for everything. HAHAHA!
Mr. Goldenfold: Oh my god! How could I not see this coming? MY LUST! MY GREED! I DESERVE THIS!
Rick: This serum should

Rick: counteract the negative effects.
Mr. Goldenfold: Holy cats! Ladies, let’s get outta here.
[Off into the distance]
Mr. Goldenfold: I haven’t learned a thing!
Mr. Needful: This aftershave makes a man quite irresistible to women. Free of charge. One never pays here. Not with money.
Mr. Goldenfold: Nothing to read into there. Thanks!
Butter Robot: What is my purpose?
Rick: You pass butter.
Butter Robot: Oh my God…
Rick: Yeah, welcome to the club, pal.
Mr. Goldenfold: You know my name? Heh, that’s disarming.
Summer: [being carried away by security after Mr. Needful stole her share of their company] You’re Zuckerberging me?
Mr. Needful: I was Zuckerberging people before Zuckerberg’s balls dropped.
