- Alex Rieger: Jim, when are you finally going to have some pride and stand up for yourself?
- "Reverend" Jim Ignatowski: August!
- [in the mountains, Jim hits his head]
- Alex Rieger: Jim, are you alright?
- "Reverend" Jim Ignatowski: Yeah... who are you?
- Alex Rieger: I'm Alex. We're friends, we work together.
- "Reverend" Jim Ignatowski: What are we, lumberjacks?
- Alex Rieger: No, we're cabdrivers.
- "Reverend" Jim Ignatowski: I bet we don't do much business up here!
- Louie De Palma: Do you know what the difference is between people like you and people like me, Nardo?
- Alex Rieger: Yeah, two million years of evolution.
- Alex Rieger: Why'd you change your name to Ignatowski?
- "Reverend" Jim Ignatowski: Try saying it backwards.
- Bobby Wheeler: Ix-wah-tangy.
- "Reverend" Jim Ignatowski: That's nowhere near Starchild, is it?
- "Reverend" Jim Ignatowski: What did you win that trophy for?
- Alex Rieger: For making a fool of myself.
- "Reverend" Jim Ignatowski: Why doesn't anyone tell me about contests like that?
- Alex Rieger: I'm not really a cab driver. I'm just waiting for something better to come along. You know, like death.
- Alex Rieger: Jim, when I said you were a flake, I meant you'd done some weird things.
- "Reverend" Jim Ignatowski: Name one.
- Alex Rieger: You lived in a condemned building for five years.
- "Reverend" Jim Ignatowski: You're confusing flakiness with style!
- Alex Rieger: You kept a horse named Gary in your bedroom.
- "Reverend" Jim Ignatowski: Not everyone has a guest room, Alex.
- "Reverend" Jim Ignatowski: You know, you really need to clean up those bathrooms.
- Alex Rieger: You just came from the kitchen.
- "Reverend" Jim Ignatowski: Thank God.
- Elaine Nardo: Dress is optional... He means how we dress, not if we dress, right?
- Alex Rieger: No, I don't think so.
- Elaine Nardo: Why?
- Alex Rieger: [showing Elaine his invitation] Yours is the only one that says that.
- Alex Rieger: [to his now-fat ex-wife, at their daughter's wedding] Remember, you haven't lost a daughter - you've gained a ton.
- Alex Rieger: One thing about being a cabbie is that you don't have to worry about being fired from a good job.
- Alex Rieger: It's so quiet up here you can hear yourself think.
- "Reverend" Jim Ignatowski: I don't hear anything.
- Latka Gravas: [after his paper marriage, his "wife" runs off] No honeymoon?
- Alex Rieger: No, Latka.
- Latka Gravas: America's a tough town.
- Alex Rieger: I'm going to die as I've lived, wearing a green shirt, a catcher's mask, and dancing the can can.
- Alex Rieger: We're arguing because we care too much, and we're breaking up because we don't care enough.
