Memorable quotes

Space Ghost: Tell us, who are you really? What's your secret identity.
Susan: My secret identity? Um. Well, I may as well tell you here, sitting here with you, Space Ghost. I'm really a transexual, actually. I'm not a woman at all.
Space Ghost: Really?
Susan: The real identity is me! It's about as much me as you can get when I'm up on the stage.

Kevin: What is wrong with you?
Zorak: Does my music frighten you?

Moltar: How could this be? There are three of them.
Space Ghost: Moltar, what is it?
Moltar: It's the blasted Bee Gees!
