• Deputy Brent : Let me drive.

  Sheriff Frank : No, you're drunk.

  Deputy Brent : You always get to drive.

  Sheriff Frank : That's cause I'm the sheriff, asshole.

• Sheriff Frank : Tell me something, Billy. How come a cute little guy like this can turn into a thousand ugly monsters?

  Billy Peltzer : Well, you see, this is before it enters the pupal stage.

  Deputy Brent : The pupal stage?

  Billy Peltzer : Yeah, right. Plus it multiplies with water.

  Deputy Brent : Aw, Christ.

  Sheriff Frank : Brent give the kid some water.

  Billy Peltzer : I wouldn't do that, Sheriff.

• Billy Peltzer : It's the creatures!

  Sheriff Frank : [angered]  Ah, the creatures.

  Billy Peltzer : The creatures are making it look like an accident!

• Deputy Brent : [DELETED SCENE: Less than a minute after the Gremlins sabotage Mrs. Deagle's stair-climber, thus sending the loathsome woman hurtling to her death, she is discovered by several of her neighbors... who briefly check the body. Finding no life signs, they call out -- up and down the street -- to more of her neighbors. They all come surging out of their houses; a dozen of them break down Mrs. Deagle's door and sweep inside. They rush back out again with furniture and fistfuls of money, passing both around to the happy mob. Joe Harris's widow and their kids hug and kiss each other, weeping with joy. As this crowd of Mrs. Deagle's former debtors rejoice over the fresh turn of events, Brent and Frank look on from across the street in their car]  ... Aren't we going to do anything about this?

  Sheriff Frank : [scoffs]  What's there to do, arrest them? On what charge?

  Deputy Brent : Looting Mrs. Deagle's house, of course!

  Sheriff Frank : Brent. First of all, how are two people gonna arrest over a hundred? Second of all, even if the jail was big enough to hold them all -- which it isn't -- name one person in this county who'd convict them for it, let alone twelve. Third of all, Judge McGarrett's name was on the list of properties to be foreclosed in her Hitox deal... as were yours and mine.

  Deputy Brent : Wow...! Touche.

  [Taking notice of some furniture being hauled from the house, he jumps out of the car and charges across the street] 

  Deputy Brent : Hey! Excuse me... No, you're not in any trouble; that stuff's from my house...!

  [Frank shakes his head, smiling to himself] 

• Sheriff Frank : Tell me something, Billy. Listen, now, where do these little gremlins come from, huh?

• Deputy Brent : [exhausted]  Jesus, Frank! What the hell are those things? Let me see that gun.

  Deputy Brent : It's suppost to be Christmas. What's the hell's going on?

  Sheriff Frank : [shouts]  SHUT UP, WILL YOU?

  Deputy Brent : [screams]  FRANK!

  Sheriff Frank : [he saw a truck]  OH MY GOD!

  Deputy Brent : [shouts]  FRANK! FRANK!

  Sheriff Frank : [uses the break to stop] 

  [the police car was crushed by a truck and both made a car accident]
