Quotes 

• Rusty Nail : [34:11]  Apologize.

  Fuller Thomas : No. Listen, you sick fuck, you pathetic, lonely, walkie-talkie, freak-show motherfucker. You're not getting anything from me. Know why? Because I have something that's more powerful than your psychosis. It's called a volume knob, and the only thing I have to do to make you go away is to turn it counterclockwise. You got that? You copy that?

  Rusty Nail : You know, Black Sheep, you really ought to get that fixed.

  Fuller Thomas : Get what fixed?

  Rusty Nail : Your taillight.

• Fuller Thomas : [40:30]  Stay the fuck back, man. I've got a gun!

  Ice Truck Driver : And I've got a MasterCard.

• Ice Truck Driver : Do you guys need help back to the main road?

  Fuller Thomas : [41:17]  Yeah, we're fine, now that we're not murdered.

• Fuller Thomas : Do you ever miss Mom and Dad?

  Lewis Thomas : Yeah, I miss Mom's chocolate chip cookies, playing football with Dad on Sundays, going to... Oh wait, that somebody else's childhood. What I meant was, "No."

• Venna : [1:00:02]  How scared am I supposed to be?

  Fuller Thomas : Much more than usual.

• Local in Nebraska Bar : [to Lewis]  I said, is this your bitch? Cause if it is your bitch, you better shut your bitch up.

  Fuller Thomas : [running towards them]  Bitch, are you mouthing off again? I'm sorry man, it's just so hard to keep them in line nowadays.

• [after installing the CB] 

  Fuller Thomas : This is like some kinda prehistoric Internet.

• Marine : [talking into the CB radio]  Howdy, you got Black Sheep here with Mama's Boy. Who we got? over.

  Fuller Thomas : Can I please get a better handle than Mama's Boy?

  Marine : No.

• Fuller Thomas : [Fuller and Lewis are driving]  You know, with the exception of the seat spring piercing my ass, this ride's excellent.

• Officer Akins : [28:02]  So you have no idea who might have visited Mr. Ellinghouse's room last night?

  Fuller Thomas : No, sir. I wish - I wish we could be more helpful, but I...

  Lewis Thomas : Is he dead?

  Officer Akins : Coma. You know what I'm thinkin'? I'm thinkin' that a little look-see might "refreshify" your memory.

  Fuller Thomas : Takin' a look-see at what?

  Officer Akins : [Visiting Hospital Heart Monitor Beeping, Ventilator Pumping]  Ripped his jaw... clean off.

• Fuller Thomas : Do a woman's voice.

• Fuller Thomas : Do what I do. Just remind yourself that in a hundred years you're gonna be dead. It's the closest thing I've got to a philosophy.

• Fuller Thomas : Come on, I know what Dad says about me behind my back. That I'm the world's biggest loser. And that's coming from a plumber! That's coming from a man who wears a lime green jumpsuit to work everyday!

• [about the car] 

  Venna : Have you guys named it yet?

  Fuller Thomas : Not yet, but we were thinking about "Tad" or "Lewis's Shitty Newport".

• Fuller Thomas : Hey, you came all the way to Salt Lake for me?

  Lewis Thomas : Well, you are technically still my brother.

• Truck Stop Manager : [1:07:42]  Is this a fraternity stunt? Because if this wasn't my restaurant...

  Fuller Thomas : It isn't. There's a man who's gonna kill our friend if we don't come in like this...

  Truck Stop Manager : Guys, guys... if this wasn't my restaurant I'd say it was a pretty good one.

  Fuller Thomas : No, we're not joking, man!

• Fuller Thomas : All right, no cops 'til Jamestown. Free to speed like a mother fucker for like the next 40 miles or so.

• Fuller Thomas : [41:33]  I have never felt like more of a pussy in my entire life.

• Lewis Thomas : You should call home every once in a while. You know, when you don't need bail money?

  Fuller Thomas : Yeah, but how often is that?

• [after Lewis intentionally runs off the road] 

  Fuller Thomas : So, do you need me to drive, er, you good?
