  • Ralph: You know, I'll bet you can buy a great townhouse down here for around five or six dollars.
  • Ralph: [to Jack] You're all I thought about for six months! They threw me in a jail filled with rejects from the communicable disease ward. Every wacko, drippy, open-sored low-life was in that joint... all of them wanting to hire on as my proctologist!
  • Jack T. Colton: What the hell are you talkin' about? I don't even know who the hell you are!
  • Tarak: You must come with me to help find the Jewel.
  • Ralph: [face lights up] Jewel? What jewel?

  • Tarak: Yes... yes?
  • Jack T. Colton: Here, I don't know where you're from or what you're on, but I'm sailing my boat tonight.

  • Jack T. Colton: The hell you are!
  • Ralph: Look, you owe me Colton. So, where ever you're going, I'm going. Where we going?

  • [Ralph and the rest of the Sufis see the smoke in the distance from the burning F-16 which was stolen by Jack]
  • Ralph: But tonight, I gotta kill Colton!

  • Tarak: Here! You are welcome! We have food. We have drink!
  • Ralph: You gotta toilet?
  • Ralph: Ah, what's that I hear? A heart breaking? You sap! Better keep your mind on business, Romeo, you'll wind up gettin' yourself killed over some broad who dumped you.
  • Ralph: You hook up with a bunch of juju beads, you see what happens?
  • Jack T. Colton: Just take you're lead from me and you'll be fine.
  • Ralph: What are we going to do? Walk right through the center of town?
  • Jack T. Colton: I'm going to put you up a camel's ass - for openers.
  • Ralph: I think I might like it.
  • Ralph: Come on, Colton! Where's the jewel?
  • Jewel: Ralph, I am the Jewel. The Jewel of the Nile.

  • Ralph: [after Ralph walks out of the catacombs into the riot taking place] Looks like Our Lady of Mount Carmel school yard.
