Ron Thompson: I just figured it out. I never woke up this morning, and this is all a bad dream.
Amy Szalinski: Ron, get up.
Ron Thompson: You're just a nightmare! When I get up, Dad and I'll be going fishing.
Amy Szalinski: I'm warning you.
[Ron sticks his fingers in his ears and hums "The Stars and Stripes Forever"]
Amy Szalinski [takes Ron's fingers out of his ears]: Okay, Ron. Maybe you're right. Maybe this is just all a bad dream. But if it is...would this hurt?
[Amy grabs Ron's ear and tweaks it hard]
Ron Thompson: OW!
Amy Szalinski: GET UP!

Kilgrave: Why don't you listen to me?
Jessica: Because I don't want to.
Kilgrave: If you won't listen to me, what is the point of having ears? Answer me!
Jessica: To listen to someone else.
Kilgrave: You never appreciate anything I do for you. (grabs a knife) If you can't listen to me, you don't need ears. Cut them off.

Jobe ignored me. As the van was waiting for us, I grabbed her by the tip of her ear and towed her along with me. “Ow-ow-ow-ow!” Jobe yipped as she tripped along, wide-eyed, after me. I managed to keep her off-balance until we got into the van. “HEY! That HURT!” she sulked, cradling her offended lobe.
“Then why on Earth did you design the Drow with that nifty grip, if not for use as a handle?”

Outside the hopper, two pimps were having a minor disagreement over a girl named Sandra. It was brief, and for the most part, friendly. It ended when the severed ear of the taller pimp landed with a soft, wet plop on the hopper's windscreen.
Lister double-checked the door locks and suddenly found it important to read The A to Z of Mimas with fierce concentration. He was only half aware of the hopper rocking gently rocking from side to side as the two men rolled on its bonnet. Suddenly, there was another soft, wet plop, and a second, slightly smaller ear joined the first on the windscreen.
What the hell's happening? thought Lister. It's raining ears on my windscreen.

"Hey, Brian, remember me? I'm the guy you left standing at the counter at McDonald's with a bag full of burgers. You know it's funny, I tried to walk home and, um, a lot of hungry deer walking around at this hour of the night and, um, oh here's where the story gets fun, uh, you may have noticed (showing Brian his lack of a left ear) I'm missing an ear. Managed to, uh, pull it out of the deer's mouth and put it in some ice I got at a 7-Eleven, so when you're ready to apologize, just talk into this cup."

Yamcha: I'm serious, I worry about her safety. And as my close personal friend, possibly even bestie, I think we need to consider-Aaagh!

Bulma: Anyone want to explain to Yamcha here what ten pounds of torque does to a human ear?
Gohan: ... Rips it off?
Bulma: Very good, Gohan!

"They got me that night, on the street. I still had the camera and they pulled it open and took the film that was in it — no problem, it was a new one, blank — and smashed the camera and then worked me over." He tugged one of his earlobes. "This is my own, but the left one's a prosthesis they stuck on for me at the hospital. I hear Shoda very clearly with it — no photographs, please."
