Dialogue

- Jack McDermott: This is the body and blood of our savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. And a damned fine Beaujolais!
- Billy: Ah, it's great to be young and insane!
- Giant Chicken: Leiter's unbelievable. The man could throw a lamb chop passed the goddamn wolf.
- Billy: You see those two towers? World Trade Center. I was an architect working on them. First they just wanted to build one but I said, "Fellas, we're here. What the hell, throw the other one up." Turned out pretty well, didn't it?
- Henry: Fantasy.
- [some patrons are harassing a waitress]
- Billy: You guys need to pay up and get out of here.
- Drunk: Who the hell are you?
- [Billy grabs the drunk by the hair and slams his face on the table]
- Billy: I'm an escaped mental patient with a history of violence.
- Billy: Yeah, I got a big story for ya; we came to town to see a ball game, and now they wanna give us the chair. I love New York. Bring your kids. Have 'em arrested. Do some time in The Big Apple.
- Jack McDermott: I don't want him next to me. He smells like tuna fish.
- Billy: Restaurant security. Just a minor utensil violation. Go ahead, enjoy your dinner.
- Dr. Weitzman: There's about 65,000 seats up at that stadium. But I don't want you to get your hopes up, because they're all screwed down.
- Jack McDermott: I am the Lord they God. Thou shalt not have strange gods before me. Out of my way, asshole.
- [their van is being towed]
- Jack McDermott: Stop! Who dares to tow the van of the living Christ?
- Driver: The city of New York, Tarzan! $50 for the violation, $75 for the tow and $20 a day for storage.
- Jack McDermott: [skyward] Father, forgive us for we have sinned! We parked our car in a forbidden zone!
- Sergeant Vincenté: You know what? You got the whole think back-ass-wards, I think you're the missing persons. Just go to 48th street and wait. The guy doesn't show, we're open 24 hours. [answers phone] Hello, Vincenté.
- Billy: We're not done!
- Sergeant Vincenté: You're done, it's been a pleasure.
- Billy: Hey, we used to be tax payers!
- Sergeant Vincenté: Now that will get my attention. You're not out of here in 30 seconds, you got a night in jail!
- Billy: What kind of bonehead cop would send four confessed mental patients back out in the streets?
- Billy: Where the hell did you go to take that piss? Moscow?
- Henry: I'm the doctor until the doctor comes back!
- Billy: Okay, you be the doctor and I'll be the escaped mental patient, okay?
