Quotes3

  • Roadside motorist: [thinking there is an accident on the road] Oh, my God. Are you guys in some kind of accident?
  • Carl: No, but you might.
  • Carl: Why do you want to turn left for, Rudi?
  • Rudi Volpone: Because Hunnicutt is gonna try to get out of the state!
  • Carl: Well, how do you figure that? If it was me trying to run from the hit, I'd try and stay on the roads that I knew.
  • Rudi Volpone: [scoffs] I need a hit man, they send me one that watches Captain Kangaroo.
  • Carl: [offended] You trying to get cute or something, Rudi?
  • Rudi Volpone: No, I'm trying to tell you I make the goddamn decisions here!
  • Rudi Volpone: Well, we can't be too far ahead of them.
  • Carl: We'd better not be. Uncle Angie is gonna be real pissed if we blow this one, Rudi.
  • Rudi Volpone: Look, Carl, nobody's blowing nothing. So, just cool it and think positive like Norman Vincent Peale.
  • Carl: Who?
  • Rudi Volpone: The guy with the correspondence course. You mean you never heard of him?
  • Carl: No.
  • Rudi Volpone: He was very famous in the mind racket and - Oh, what the hell am I explaining it to you for?
