Quotes12

  • Chico: Are you Ms. Grant?
  • Erin Grant: [sarcastically] No, I'm Barbara Bush.
  • Chico: [to Shad] And you are?
  • Shad: George Bush.
  • Nico: What are you, nuts?
  • Shad: Yeah, psycho. Delusions of invincibility combined with a strong homicidal urge. I have a kick-your-ass fetish.
  • Orly: What do you know about Prozac?
  • Shad: It makes you happy. There's side effects.
  • Orly: Like what?
  • Shad: Limp noodle.
  • Orly: Who cares? I haven't had a hard- on since I started running this place. Closest I got was Sea World. Porpoise got me hot.
  • Shad: What the fuck you telling me that for?
  • Shad: You talk to her?
  • Erin Grant: Darrell's phone's disconnected. I think he moved again.
  • Shad: You know, I'd embrace the opportunity to maim his white ass up.
  • Erin Grant: I know you would, and that's really thoughtful, but I don't think it would help my case in court if I had him attacked.
  • [Shad appears besides Erin's car while Darrell is holding her at knifepoint inside it]
  • Shad: Drop the knife! You got 'til three. One...
  • Darrell Grant: Suck my dick!
  • Shad: Whip the little fella out. Two...
  • Darrell Grant: [brandishes the knife at Shad] This here's a domestic squabble...!
  • [Shad seizes his knife hand and wrenches his arm over the window jam, snapping the bone. Darrell screams]
  • Shad: Three.
  • Darrell Grant: You broke my arm!
  • Shad: You sure?
  • Erin Grant: [Shad has just put a roach in a container of yogurt] So, this is the new brainstorm, huh?
  • Shad: Accordin' to the Wall St. Journal we got here the hottest selling yogurt in the country. I bring this in, say my hair fell out from the shock. BOOM! They pay off big time. My lawyer thinks it's a genius idea.
  • Erin Grant: Your lawyer has an office over a video store.
  • Shad: Call me a dreamer. I don't wanna be a bouncer forever.
  • Alan Mordecai: Do you follow politics, Mr. Shad?
  • Shad: Do I look like I follow politics?
  • Shad: "Free Willy" back yet?
  • Video Clerk: Still out.
  • Shad: People are pigs! Sit on movies like they own 'em!
  • [about going after Erin without police backup]
  • Shad: So we're it? A cop and a bouncer?
  • Lt. Al Garcia: Plus two strippers and a kid. We're in great shape.
  • Lt. Al Garcia: [about Erin] Dilbeck didn't invite her back?
  • Shad: She said no.
  • Lt. Al Garcia: Well, that's good. Because I don't think she should go back there, even with you. And what was with her tonight? She seemed edgy.
  • Shad: She got her moods, man. Could be that time of the month.
  • Lt. Al Garcia: So now you're the gynecologist-bouncer, bouncer-gynecologist?
  • Shad: Hey! I just watch out for the girls.
  • Lt. Al Garcia: Wow... so do I. That makes a grand total of two people in the entire state of Florida. Because the higher-ups in my department, they're not exactly pushing this investigation. Is any of this making sense to you?
  • Shad: Because of this asshole Congressman.
  • Lt. Al Garcia: Bingo! We've got two homicides here, and nobody gives a shit except you and me. And I'm worried about that girl. She's all alone out there.
  • [Orly hires Lorelei and her trained python away from the Flesh Farm, only they send the snake's dead body]
  • Orly: Here, go rustle up a new snake.
  • Shad: Where, the AM/PM? Who the fuck carries pythons at ten o'clock at night?
  • Orly: There's an all-night snake farm on Route 27. Ask for Jungle Juan. And get rid of that thing! God, I hate this business! You know why? It's lost its humanity.
  • Lt. Al Garcia: [in the morgue] Now here comes that brilliant and charming attorney of yours, Mr. Mordecai. Found him 400 yards offshore. Now show him the rest of his kisser.
  • Medical Examiner: [uncovers Mordecai's face] Crabs find lawyers a particular delicacy, yeah.
  • Shad: Looks like lasagna. Cover that shit up.
  • Lt. Al Garcia: You mind telling me why your name was on his calendar for tomorrow?
  • Shad: I was involved in a litigation with a yogurt company.
  • Lt. Al Garcia: Just based on my limited experience, this doesn't look like the sort of thing a yogurt company would ordinarily do. You know, I hear this prick represented the same poor kid who got mauled at your club. Now that I find fascinating, Shad!
  • Shad: He had a picture...
  • [retching]
  • Shad: Man, I'm gonna lose it!
  • [the coroner starts to cover Mordecai's face, Garcia stops him]
  • Lt. Al Garcia: A picture of what? A certain legislator?
  • Shad: Yeah... beatin' the kid's ass.
  • Lt. Al Garcia: And where's the original?
  • Shad: I got no idea.
  • [the coroner covers up Mordecai, Garcia hands Shad a box of mints]
  • Lt. Al Garcia: Here, freshen up. Thanks.
  • Medical Examiner: Can I interest you in dessert?
  • Lt. Al Garcia: No, just the check.
  • [the coroner laughs and wheels Mordecai away]
