• Young Boy : [Goody, with Red along, are in a tiny ice-cream vendor's truck]  You're early. You're supposed to go down the next street first, then come up here.

  Eddie Goody : Well, listen. While we're here, can I sell you anything?

  Young Boy : No, I'm waiting for Judy Ann. They have a better flavor of pistachio.

  Red Leary : Look, kid, go fuck a duck.

• Eddie Goody : [when the Thunderbolt and Lightfoot's car goes off a cliff]  What do we do now, Red?

  Red Leary : [shouting in sign to follow them]  GERONIMO!

• Red Leary : Go... fuck... a duck.

• Voice over Department Store PA system : All maintenance personnel off the floor. Bringing in the guard dogs now.

  Red Leary : To hell with them dogs. They treat 'em better than us. They rush us outta' here like animals.

  Janitor in Department Store : Let's not argue now, Sam. Those dogs ate up a man here once.

  Red Leary : Ate him?

  Janitor in Department Store : Yeah. Wrong man came on duty, dogs ate him up. They'll go through a plate-glass window to get at ya'. A man don't fool around with those kinda' animals.

• Red Leary : [Lightfoot shows up with the van, newly dented by the girl on the motorcycle]  Where'd you get the dents?

  Lightfoot : [Nonchalantly]  Progress. I dreamt about you last night.

  Red Leary : What about?

  Lightfoot : I dreamt you said hello to me.

  Red Leary : Don't you get smart with me. I'll break both your arms.

  Lightfoot : I'll keep that in mind.

  Red Leary : Remember what I said. John and me go back a long way. But you don't mean nothin' to me, understand? Nothin'!

  Lightfoot : What'd you try and kill him for then?

  Red Leary : Because we were friends.

  Red Leary : Because we were friends.

  Lightfoot : I read *you* loud and clear.

  Red Leary : You better believe it.

• Red Leary : Goody, you're better at asking questions than you are at answering them

• Red Leary : What you been preachin' lately, Johnny.
