[edit] Del Griffith

  • [in his sleep on the plane] 6 bucks and my right nut says we're not landing in Chicago.
  • I'm still a million bucks shy of being a millionaire.
  • Larry Bird doesn't do as much ball handling in a night as you do in an hour.
  • You wanna hurt me? Go right ahead if it makes you feel any better. I'm an easy target. Yeah, you're right. I talk too much. I also listen too much. I could be a cold-hearted cynic like you, but I don't like to hurt people's feelings. Well, you think what you want about me. I'm not changing. I like me. My wife likes me. My customers like me. 'Cause I'm the real article. What you see is what you get.

[On bus]
Stranger: [to Neal] Why don't you take a picture? It'll last longer.

[edit] Dialogue

[in bed in the hotel room, Neal and Del are holding hands as they awaken]
Neal: Del, why did you kiss my ear?
Del: Why are you holding my hand?
Neal: Where's your other hand?
Del: Between two pillows.
Neal: Those aren't pillows!
[both scream in shock and get out of bed, grossed out, then soon shake it off and pretend to forget about it]
Neal: See that Bears game last week?
Del: Yeah. Hell of a game. Hell of a game.
Neal: Bears' got a great team this year. They're gonna go all the way.

[At a taxi lane, outside the car-rental building]
Taxi driver: Where to?
Neal: Chicago.
Taxi driver: Chicago? You know you're in St Louis?
Neal: Yes I do.
Taxi driver: Why not catch a plane? You get there faster and you get a free meal.
Neal: If I wanted a joke, I'd follow you into the john and watch you take a leak.

[At cafe, when Neal accuses Del of stealing $700 from his wallet]
Del: [hands wallet to Neal] There's exactly $263 in there! If there's a dollar more, then you can call me a thief! Just count it!
Neal: [checks wallet, hands it back] Empty.
Del: WHAT! [checks wallet]
Neal: Dry
Del: We were robbed!
Neal: [in mocking, sarcastic tone] Do ya think so?

[at the car rental agency, after Neal finds the rental car he was assigned is not in the expected spot]
Car Rental Agent: Welcome to Marathon. May I help you?
Neal: [indignantly] Yes.
Agent: How may I help you?
Neal: You can start by wiping that fucking dumbass smile off your rosy fucking cheeks. Then you can give me a fucking automobile. A fucking Datsun, a fucking Toyota, a fucking Mustang, a fucking Buick — 4 fucking wheels and a seat!
Agent: I really don't care for the way you're speaking to me.
Neal: And I really don't care for the way your company left me in the middle of fucking nowhere with fucking keys to a fucking car that isn't fucking there. And I really didn't care to fucking walk down a fucking highway and across a fucking runway to get back here to have you smile at my fucking face. I want a fucking car right fucking now.
Agent: May I see your rental agreement?
Neal: I threw it away.
Agent: Oh, boy.
Neal: "Oh, boy" what?
Agent: You're fucked.
