  • The door's locked! McGinty, you clever dog!
  • If any teachers ask where Eric went, tell them that three grown-ups took him off the playground to teach him a lesson about sticking his finger in things.
  • Sorry I'm late, everybody. My science teacher says my thesis needs to prove something... but I think listing all the dinosaurs proves there was a lot of dinosaurs.
  • Looks like we've got a long night of cocaine ahead of us.
  • We're keeping evidence from the police, okay? We could go to jail! You know what happens in jail? No T.V.!
  • Goodnight sweet hobo. May your bindle be heavy with treasures, but your heart be light with song.

  • When I was fifteen years old, when I got this job, I said to myself, "I am going to work here until the day that I kill myself."
  • Hey! Are you squeezing that bread? We had a deal! We had a deal you fucking animal! What the f...ah dude, did you fuck this bread? You fucked the shit out of this bread. You don't fuck bread. Every fucking thing!
  • You remind me a little of me. You know what I'm going to call you from now on, "Little Me". I just came up with that right now.
  • Paying you in advance, buddy!

Jason: Ah! Cinnamon sticks!
Charlie: Ah! Chinese checkers!
Duncan: Fuck! Yeah, that's right. I've been saying "fuck". Going in the backyard and trying it out.
