• Karl Thomasson : Steroids, they pump you up, make you huge, make you feel like you're the master of the universe! But while you're mastering the universe, let me tell about a couple of other things that they can do: They can give you high blood pressure. They can give you coronary disease, kidney disease, cancer of the liver. They can cause impotence, and sterility, not to mention diareaha, acne, hair loss, body odor, and the always popular, withered testicles. Having trouble getting a date on Saturday? Wait till she finds out what you're packing in your shorts when you're doing steroids. Absolutely nothing. Oh hey! And I almost forgot one other minor side effect: they can kill you! Not years from now down the road, but right now, today, this minute. But hey, don't take my word for it. Just ask your classmate Josh Silver. But don't expect an answer any time soon. 'Cause right now, he's on a stainless steel autopsy table in the medical examiner's office, having his organs removed and dissected ONE BY ONE. But hey, he sure could bench press couldn't he?

• Karl Thomasson : Maybe you didn't notice but those guys were completely wired. Maybe it was coke, maybe it was steroids, but they were totally out of control. Why don't you let me deal with them?

  Karl Thomasson : The usual. Truth. Justice. The American way.

• Macy : You got to admire a guy like that. He knows what to do with a rifle butt.

  Karl Thomasson : Well it makes me jealous when you get all the attention.

  Macy : Well, I tipped him. That's why he gave me that last shot in the spine.

• Macy : I don't feel anything below my neck. Why don't you just make me a little more comfortable and then you skip town by yourself?

  Karl Thomasson : What and give up my favorite dance partner? Not a chance.
