    It Still Hurts

    Duke: The lights are growing dim Otto. I know a life of crime has led me to this sorry fate, and yet, I blame society. Society made me what I am.

    Otto: That's bullsh*t. You're a white suburban punk just like me.

    Duke: Yeah, but it still hurts.

    Cosmic Unconsciousness

    Miller: A lot o' people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch of unconnected incidents and things. They don't realize that there's this, like, lattice of coincidence that lays on top of everything. Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate of shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in looking for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconsciousness.

    Otto: You eat a lot of acid, Miller, back in the hippie days?

    Miller: I'll give you another instance: you know how everybody's into weirdness right now?...

    No Christians Either

    Bud: Credit is a sacred trust, it's what our free society is founded on. Do you think they give a damn about their bills in Russia? I said, do you think they give a damn about their bills in Russia?

    Otto: They don't pay bills in Russia, it's all free.

    Bud: All free? Free my a**. What are you, a f*ckin' commie? Huh?

    Otto: No, I ain't no commie.

    Bud: Well, you better not be. I don't want no commies in my car. No Christians either.

    For Loonies

    J. Frank Parnell: Ever been to Utah? Ra-di-a-tion. Yes, indeed. You hear the most outrageous lies about it. Half-baked goggle-box do-gooders telling everybody it's bad for you. Pernicious nonsense. Everybody could stand a hundred chest X-rays a year. They ought to have them, too. When they canceled the project it almost did me in. One day my mind was full to bursting. The next day - nothing. Swept away. But I'll show them. I had a lobotomy in the end.

    Otto: Lobotomy? Isn't that for loonies?

    J. Frank Parnell: Not at all. Friend of mine had one. Designer of the neutron bomb. You ever hear of the neutron bomb? Destroys people - leaves buildings standing. Fits in a suitcase. It's so small, no one knows it's there until - BLAMMO. Eyes melt, skin explodes, everybody dead. So immoral, working on the thing, can drive you mad. That's what happened to this friend of mine. So he had a lobotomy. Now he's well again.

    John Wayne
