  Will Darnell : [to Dennis]  I knew a guy had a car like that once. Fuckin' bastard killed himself in it. Son of a bitch was so mean, you could've poured boiling water down his throat and he would've pissed ice cubes!

  [to Arnie] 

  Will Darnell : Okay. That's the last time you run that mechanical asshole in here without an exhaust hose... I catch you doing it one time, and you're out, you understand? HUH?

  Arnie Cunningham : Yes, sir.

  Will Darnell : And I'm gonna tell you something else right now. I don't take any shit from you kids. This place is for working stiffs gotta keep their cars running so they can keep bread on the table, it's not for rich-assed, snot-nose kids who wanna go dragging around on the Orange Belt. I don't allow no smoking in here, neither! You wanna' butt, you go out in the junkyard!

  Arnie Cunningham : Oh, well I don't sm...

  Will Darnell : [interrupting]  Don't interrupt me, punk! Don't interrupt me, don't get smart!

  Dennis Guilder : Uhh, sir?

  Will Darnell : What?

  Dennis Guilder : [points at Darnell's own men who are smoking at a card table]  Those men over there smoking. You better tell then to stop.

  Will Darnell : You trying to help your buddy right out of here, jerk?

  Dennis Guilder : Nah.

  Will Darnell : Then shut your pie-hole. I know a creep when I see one. I think I'm looking at one right now.

  [turns back to Arnie] 

  Will Darnell : You're on probation... you get it? You screw around with me once, I don't care how much money you paid up in front, I'll throw you out on your ass! Now you got it? HUH?

  Arnie Cunningham : Yessir, yessir.

  Will Darnell : Good! Now, get the hell out of here, we're closed.

• Will Darnell : Ya know Pepper, ya can't polish a turd.

• [Arnie is pulling a worn out, smoking old Christine into Darnell's Do It Yourself garage as Darnell and Dennis look on] 

  Will Darnell : 'Kiddo, you sold him that piece of shit, you oughta be fuckin' ashamed of yourself.

  Dennis Guilder : I didn't sell it to him. I tried to talk him out of it.

  Will Darnell : You shoulda' tried harder.

• Will Darnell : Good hands... Bad taste in cars.

• Will Darnell : Look... uhhh... I know you don't exactly have money falling out of your asshole. If you did, you wouldn't be here.

  [pauses] 

  Will Darnell : Maybe we can work out some kind of deal... Why don't you sweep up around the place... do a few lubes... put the toilet paper on the little spools, shit like that. Do that and you can raid my junk pile for whatever you want. I might even throw in a few bucks.

  Arnie Cunningham : Well, I'll have to think about it.

  Will Darnell : Well, don't think about it too long, I'll throw you out on your fuckin' ass!

• Will Darnell : son if you sold him that piece of shit you out to be ashamed of yourself.
