Quotes

Gas! -Or- It Became Necessary to Destroy the World in Order to Save It.

Edit
  • Dr. Murder: Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of any organization which advocates the violent overthrow of the government of the United States of America?
  • Marissa: Yes.
  • Dr. Murder: Which one?
  • Marissa: The Paul Revere and the Raiders Fan Club.
  • Cilla: Well, if we've learned anything from all of this, it's that some of us are just never satisfied.
  • Coel: I thought it was "People who eat Army food often end up dead".
  • Cilla: You're first, Shorty.
  • Rapist: This is none of your business.
  • Cilla: I'm the rape-ee, I should have something to say.
  • [pointing]
  • Cilla: You're next, and then you. Come on, Honey.
  • Marissa: Listen, I just can't bring a child into this kind of a world. Maybe later. Huh, Carlos... huh?
  • Various Voices: Well, Jesus, shall we fire up the golden chariot and descend to Earth?
  • Various Voices: Sure, sure, Pop, but this time you go first.
  • Various Voices: You should live so long.
  • Coel: My car! My food! My supplies!... My ass!
  • Marshal McLuhan: You know? A good woman is like a steel brush. Think about it.
  • Marshal's man: I say we run them out of town.
  • Marshal McLuhan: That's not the American way! Underneath those ridiculous clothes and destructive attitudes, there beats a heart crying "Give me another chance!" Who knows, they may be just around a dog leg from... good citizenship.
  • Marshal McLuhan: [to Coel] Everything you need to make it here is in that machine. Opportunity. Security. Self-respect.
  • [showing him the back of his jacket]
  • Marshal McLuhan: One day, you may be wearing these insignia. And that's democracy in action.
  • Texas Ranger: Father, I have to know, is police brutality really a sin?
  • Coel: Only on Friday.
  • Texas Ranger: I'm guilty, Father.
  • Coel: For your penance, you will demonstrate bicycle safety at the Black Panther Convention in Mobile, Alabama.
  • Various Voices: This is the real God speaking. Will the owner of the dark blue Mustang convertible, license number TUV525, please turn off your parking lights.
  • Coel: Let's start an ancient legend!
