Quotes12

  • Brad Macallam: [referring to his flamingoes] What do you mean by birds? They're my eagles in drag!
  • Brad Macallam: I mean I'm not going to take your vitamin pills, I'm not going to drink your herbal tea, I'm not going to the sweat lodge with a hundred-and-eight year-old Native American who reads Hustler magazines and smokes Kool cigarettes. I'm not going to discover my boundaries; I am going to stunt my inner growth and I think I shall become a Muslim - call me Faruch.
  • Brad Macallam: [greeting Det. Havenhurst at the crime scene] Razzle them, dazzle them. Razzle dazzle them.
  • Brad Macallam: [to the guard at the San Diego Naval Hospital] I would like to visit the sick.
  • Naval Guard: [confused] Sir, who... who would you like to visit?
  • Brad Macallam: The sick. The sick in general.
  • Naval Guard: Oh, the General? Uh, well I'm not certain if he's in.
  • Brad Macallam: [Advancing towards his mother] Kill me. Kill me now before it happens.
  • [Screams]
  • Brad Macallam: Kill me!
  • [last lines]
  • Brad Macallam: Detective, do me a favor - can you include two things in your report? One: forget about flamingos. I see ostriches. I see ostriches running. And two: whatever happened to my basketball?
  • Receptionist: [at the hospital] One more time sir, who do you mean by 'the sick'?
  • Brad Macallam: Madame - I mean the sick, in general.
  • Receptionist: Sir, you can't visit the sick in general.
  • Brad Macallam: Can I at least buy a pillow for the sick?
  • Brad Macallam: I've found the still point. The unwobbling pivot of the world. Do you know what I mean?
  • Brad Macallam: Why is the whole world staring at me?
  • Brad Macallam: Some people act a role, others play a part!
  • Brad Macallam: [Raving] God is here! But I don't need him anymore!
  • Brad Macallam: [to the rest of the group] Open your eyes, look! This is the river, this is reality!
