Jerry Kaiser: Bad guys are winning, sir.
Earl Piggot: You know, I don't know who you think would wanna look at your sad, middle aged ass anymore!

Earl Piggot: I'm not COMING back!
Doreen Piggot: Slobbering over Honey like that. It was so embarrassing...
Earl Piggot: I never touched Honey!
Doreen Piggot: I didn't say you touched her, I said you slobbered on her!
Claire Kane: [Stuart has just returned from his fishing trip] Your hands stink.
Stuart Kane: [sniffs his fingers] Kinda smells like pussy, don't you think?
Claire Kane: [laughs, smacks him on the shoulder] I hate that. Go wash your hands.
Stuart Kane: Smells like a rainbow to me!
Dr. Ralph Wyman: Tell me about that night with Mitchell Andersen.
Marian Wyman: There's nothing to tell.
Dr. Ralph Wyman: Alright, then tell me about nothingness! I'd like to hear a complete account of nothing!
Marian Wyman: Are you cheating, Ralph?
Dr. Raplh Wyman: No, Marian. You cheat. Remember?
Doreen Piggot: Why don't you go get drunk and pee all over...

Claire Kane: Oops, excuse me, sweetie. I really like the Wymans, don't you?
Stuart Kane: Who?
Claire Kane: The doctor and his wife, Marian. Ralph, I think his name. You know, the ones from the concert.
Stuart Kane: He seems kind of lofty. You're off to work early, huh?
Claire Kane: Yeah, I got two birthdays today. He's a doctor, remember? And she is artist, I think.
Stuart Kane: Oh yeah? What kind?
Claire Kane: What kind? She's a painter. She paints pictures, you know? They really want us to come to dinner.
Stuart Kane: Well, We'll see. I'm off.
Claire Kane: What does that mean? We already agreed to go. We made a date. Bye. Close the door, Stuart.
Stuart Kane: Sorry!
Honey Bush: Look at these fish, though. Aren't those cool?
Lois Kaiser: Yeah, you know I don't really give a fuck about fish. They just kinda swim, eat and shit.
