Young Pharmacy Kid: Strong, strong stuff here. What exactly you have wrong, you need all this stuff? Linda Partridge: Motherfucker. Young Pharmacy Kid: What are you talking about? Linda Partridge: Who the fuck are you? Who the fuck do you think you are? I come in here. You don't know me. You don't know who I am, what my life is. You have the balls, the indecency to ask me a question about my life? Old Pharmacist: Please, lady, why don't you calm down? Linda Partridge: Fuck you, too. Don't call me "lady". I come in here, I give these things to you. You check, you make your phone calls, look suspicious, ask questions. I'm sick. I have sickness all around me and you fucking ask me about my life? "What's wrong?" Have you seen death in your bed? In your house? Where's your fucking decency? And then I'm asked fucking questions. What's... wrong? You suck my dick. That's what's wrong. And you, you fucking call me "lady"? Shame on you. Shame on you. Shame on both of you.

Phil Parma: How come every other word you use is either "cocksucker", "shitballs" or "fuck"? Earl Partridge: Do me a personal favor. Phil Parma: Go fuck myself? Earl Partridge: Yeah, you got it.

Rose Gator: Why doesn't Claudia... talk to you, Jimmy? Jimmy Gator: Why? Because we've... We both don't know. What do you mean? Rose Gator: No, I think you know. Jimmy Gator: Maybe... I don't. Rose Gator: Say it, Jimmy. Jimmy Gator: I think she thinks... that I may have... molested her. She thinks terrible things that somehow got into her head... that I may have done. She said that to me last time, when it was... ten years ago, she walked out the door. "You touched me wrong. I know that." Some crazy thought in her head. Rose Gator: Did you ever touch her? Jimmy Gator: I don't know. Rose Gator: [covers her mouth in disgust] ... Jimmy!... Jimmy Gator: I don't know. I really don't. Rose Gator: But you can't say! Jimmy Gator: I don't know what I've done. Rose Gator: [angry] Yes, you do. You do! But you won't say! Jimmy Gator: I don't know. What? Please? Please. Rose Gator: You deserve to die alone for what you've done! Jimmy Gator: I don't know what I've done! Rose Gator: [beginning to cry

You're head over heels? Thurston Howell: You lost me with the last couple of cocktail words spoken my boy... but I believe it's that sort of love. Sounds nice to me. Quiz Kid Donnie Smith: I have love. Thurston Howell: A very chatty kind, indeed you do. Quiz Kid Donnie Smith: No, I mean I'm telling you - I have love.

Quiz Kid Donnie Smith: I used to be smart, but now I'm just stupid. Thurston Howell: Brad, dear, who was it that said..."A man of genius has seldom been ruined but by himself"? Quiz Kid Donnie Smith: [quietly; to himself] ... Samuel Johnson... Thurston Howell: It was the lovely Samuel Johnson! Who also spoke of a fellow "who was not only dull... but a cause of dullness in others." Quiz Kid Donnie Smith: "The cause of dullness in others." Thurston Howell: Picky picky! Quiz Kid Donnie Smith: Let me tell you this; Samuel Johnson never had his life shit on... and taken from him, and his money stolen! Who took his life and his money? His parents? His mommy, and daddy? Make him live this life like this... A man of genius who gets shit on as a child!... and that scars! That hurts! Have you ever been hit by lightning? It hurts. It doesn't happen to everyone. It's an electrical charge. It finds its way across the universe... and it lands in your body, and your head! And as for ruined, but by hi
