Quotes9

  • Buck Swope: You see this - this is Hi-Fi. Okay? High Fidelity. You know what that means? That means this is the highest quality fidelity. Hi-Fi. Those are two very important things to have in a stereo system.
  • Buck Swope: You're not being fair. This isn't fair.
  • Loan Officer: This financial institution cannot endorse pornography.
  • Buck Swope: Stop saying pornography! Why are you doing this to me? I am an actor. I am an actor.
  • Buck Swope: [to his pregnant wife] How's my little kung fu fighter?
  • Jessie St. Vincent: He's kicking ass inside my stomach.
  • Buck Swope: So basically, you're gettin' twice the bass, with the TK421 of which we got available in this system right here.
  • Stereo Customer: I don't know. I don't really know if I need all that bass.
  • Buck Swope: Oh, I think you need all that bass.
  • Becky Barnett: It sounds like your bosses at the stereo store are saying the same thing.
  • Buck Swope: What?
  • Becky Barnett: YOU HAVE TO GET A NEW LOOK!
  • Buck Swope: What? You get a new look.
  • Becky Barnett: I have a look alright. The look I have is just fine.
  • Buck Swope: What's your look?
  • Becky Barnett: Chocolate love 100%. You don't have to lash out like that Buck, I'm just trying to be your friend.
  • Buck Swope: Drop it Becky.
  • [Reed and Buck discuss a magic trick in a loud and crowded night club]
  • Buck Swope: Doesn't it scare you dealing with all those evil forces?
  • Reed Rothchild: Evil horses?
  • Buck Swope: Evil forces.
  • Reed Rothchild: Evil? No man, it's not evil. It's an illusion.
  • Buck Swope: Yeah, yeah, it's confusing.
  • [Reed looks confused and smiles]
  • Reed Rothchild: Thank you.
  • Buck Swope: I was sayin' that I love sunsets.
  • Jessie St. Vincent: But, sunrises are better.
  • Buck Swope: Exactly!
  • Jessie St. Vincent: I - I thought I was the only one who felt that way.
  • Buck Swope: No, I feel that way!
  • Jessie St. Vincent: Really?
  • Buck Swope: Yes, really!
  • Buck's Manager: You put on that country and western shit and no ones going to buy a stereo. What kind of a brother are you anyway, huh? Listening to that shit.
  • Buck Swope: All right, look Jerry...
  • Buck's Manager: No, no, no, no. You look. I gave you a job here because, you know, I thought your acting stuff might bring some nice pussy into the place. And it has. But, I can't have any more fuck ups. You dig?
  • Buck Swope: Still a little uncertain, aren't you? Yeah. You know what you need? You need a test drive. That's what you need. You need a test drive. I mean, it's one thing to hear it from Buck's mouth, it's another thing to hear it from the TX421. So, lemme just pop in this eight track and you just give a listen and tell me what you think. Okay? Whoa! You hear that? You hear the bass? Right? You hear it? It kicks. It - it - it turns. It curls up your belly. It makes you wanna freaky-deaky, right?
