Dialogue
Pep: You know, uh. Friday, we're allowed to go 55... On some occasions, even faster. Joe: I'm well aware of the federally mandated speed limit, Streebeck. But did it ever occur to you that, by going 8 miles an hour slower, we might save some gasoline and ease the burden on the poor taxpayers out there who pay our salaries? Pep: Friday, a little extra gas isn't going to put the city in hock; besides, this looks bad! Come on, live a little - it's the vertical pedal on the right.

Must be what keeps your hair up.
Dialogue

Dialogue
Pep: Up late last night, partner? I thought the Christian Science Reading Room closed at 10. Joe: Not that it's any of your business, Mr. National Enquirer, but I spent a quiet evening in the company of Connie Swail. Pep: Connie Swail...Don't you mean the virgin Connie Swail?
