Jim Dodge: No... Presbyterian actually.
Custodian: What did you say? What did you say? Now I'm asking you a simple question: Are you lazy?
Jim Dodge: I'm getting a feeling that you want me out of your life.
Bud Dodge: I don't want you out of my life, I want you out of my house.
Gil Kinney: You know, if my foot could talk...
Nestor Pyle: Easy...
Gil Kinney: ...it would say, "May I please go up this geek's ass?!"
Officer Don: Mr. McClellan, do you ever have any family problems, you and your daughter?
Roger Roy McClellan: What the hell do you think he is?
Officer Don: You got a point.
Josie McClellan: And you're happy, you know. You're happy.
