  • 'Half Dead' Johnson: That ain't gonna help you sucka!
  • Peaches: You got to keep yourself in shape 'round here. This place is full of fools. If you don't handle the fools, they handles you. Get my meanin'?

  • Lieutenant Arnsworth: Any more fightin', outside of that damn ring, if you so much as look crosseyed at each other, your next trip to the hole is going to be preceded by a thorough, efficient, and otherwise consistent ass-whippin'.
  • Martel 'Too Sweet' Gordone: Right on.
  • Eugene T. Lawson: Don't talk to me with that hippy-dippy shit. I'm a man. I'm no hippy-dippy fool.

  • Hezzikia 'Seldom Seen' Jackson: Back up! I joke - and I laugh; but, I don't touch.

  • Jesse Amos: Let's get somethin' straight! You still my bitch, boy.
  • Hezzikia 'Seldom Seen' Jackson: I'm tryin' to work out one week of connubial visits for the winner in each event. Connubial visits, you jackasses, means that the winner of each event will get to spend one night, in a trailer, in the yard, with a woman! I'll tell you what - hold it - if you don't have a woman, we'll supply one for you.

  • Martel 'Too Sweet' Gordone: Do you hear me? I mean, this ain't no Mr. Goodbar I'm talkin' about. This is some real, live, hot, steamy, hairy pussy.
  • Sweet Pea: Keep your ass clean.

  • Martel 'Too Sweet' Gordone: Just because you ugly don't mean you bad.
  • Linda: Too Sweet, we got to live now.
  • Martel 'Too Sweet' Gordone: Now, don't give me that bull shit, Linda.
  • Magilla Gorilla: [holds out his boxing gloves] Take these things off.
  • Jesse Amos: Oh, but Magilla, you beat the count, man.
  • Magilla Gorilla: I don't give a shit, man. That's the only thing I'm gonna beat tonight besides my meat.
  • Lieutenant Arnsworth: What's the matter? Is that little chippy out there in the trailer too much for you to handle, huh?
  • Peaches: You expect me just to drop my draws because you dropped out of the ceiling, huh?
  • Pretty Red: Now look, baby, we ain't got not time for no jaw jackin'. I've been locked up for a long time.
  • [long kiss]
  • Peaches: Mmm. Mmm. Oh! Yeah, me too. Me too!
  • Eugene T. Lawson: Aw, come on, man. You know what's happenin'. Everybody knows what's happenin'. I've been, as they say, 'tampered with'.
  • Martel 'Too Sweet' Gordone: Hey, man, that ain't my thing. If five fingers can't get it done, it don't get done.
  • Martel 'Too Sweet' Gordone: Mind if I squat?
  • Eugene T. Lawson: It's a free prison, isn't it?
  • Hezzikia 'Seldom Seen' Jackson: If I can't have it all, I don't want *any* of it. And I'm for real.
  • Martel 'Too Sweet' Gordone: So man, you ain't human. I mean, I'm talkin' about pussy and here you are readin' a book. You've been locked up for God knows how long...
  • Hezzikia 'Seldom Seen' Jackson: Thirty-five years. That's right. Thirty-five long years. And fifteen before that. That's right. I've been in the Pen fifty of the sixty-five years I've been on this earth. And I damn sure ain't about to get myself all worked up over no pussy for a week contest. Do you hear where I'm comin' from? Survival. That's my first concern. I faced myself - a long time ago. I'm nothin' and I faced it. Thirty-five years and I've learned to be content. I just deal with the me that's in here. I just lay back and relax and keep my mind together. Cause I now believe that I'm the one's free. The freer the man in the world. The rest of the world is locked up. They're locked out. And Too Sweet once I quit believin' that, I might as well push a bunk up against the wall, tie a sheet around my neck, and jump off. Why, I'd go completely crazy. They call that institutionalized, Too Sweet. Institutionalized. And I'm it.
  • Pretty Red: Girl, you almost got hurt.
  • Peaches: Oh! Hurt *me*. Oh.
  • Biker #1: You better get your little butt outta my face because me and Hymie, we ain't about to mess with no slut that just finished up with a dirty nigger.
  • Linda: Just who in the hell do you two desert rats think you are? You better get back on those tricycles and go play in the sand. Because after having a real man, I'd probably puke having a couple of boys.
