Jim: How can I not?

Crazy lady: Jesus the Nazarene, Mary the whore, Mary the hairdresser-

Jim: HEY LADY! SHUT UP!!

Pedro: You okay, Jim?

Jim: Yeah.

Pedro: Does it hurt?

Mickey: What? Do you want to rub it for him, Pedro?

Neutron: Yo Jim, give it a rest, man. You're never gonna beat him.

Mickey: The guy's a pervert, did you hear him? "We can do it again tomorrow if you like, Mr. Carroll."
