- Buster Caldwell: When you grow up in a world where everyone's bigger than you, especially women, you try real hard to be something. And when it doesn't work, sometimes it feels better to pretend.
- Dr. David Banner: Buster, a lot of people want to be something they're not. A lot of people pretend. Not just little people.
- Dr. David Banner: Buster, I'm going to have to say... Well, I admit that not everything seemed quite real.
- Buster Caldwell: Not quite real?
- Dr. David Banner: Yeah.
- Buster Caldwell: Like what?
- Dr. David Banner: Like when the guy jumped on your neck, you managed to get right up.
- Buster Caldwell: Come on.
- Mitzi: Listen Buster, I hear you know those guys, you know, the wrestlers, the ones who ripped off the mob.
- Buster Caldwell: Now 'em? Where like this! I thought them everything they know.
- Mitzi: Well people say they got away with a bundle you know, ripped off a high stakes game. Now, are you gonna remember Mitzi if you get your cut, huh? That old mink of mine, why, barely keeps my shoulders warm.
- Buster Caldwell: Well you just tell your shoulders not worry, baby.
- Gregor: Buster, I catch you two like that again, and you're gonna get stepped on. And that's a fact.
- Mitzi: You look so cute, just like a little kid.
- Buster Caldwell: I'm not a little kid, can't you see that! What's the matter with you?
- Mitzi: Buster, why don't you take it easy, huh?
- Buster Caldwell: I'm almost thirty years old. You dumb doxy! What do you think you're doing?
- Mitzi: You got no right to call me that!
- Buster Caldwell: I sure as hell do. I'm a man!
- Buster Caldwell: You told me a lotta people like to be something the're not. If you're one of them, David, You can believe, I'll understand.
- The Porter: That reward, how much is it?
- Jack McGee: That's ten thousand dollars, but that's for information leading to the capture of the creature.
- The Porter: Well, I got information...
- Jack McGee: Well, good.
- The Porter: But you say, if you don't catch him, I don't get paid?
- Jack McGee: That's the deal.
- The Porter: That don't hardly seem fair. How about you pay me five thousand now, five more thousand if you catch him?
- Jack McGee: That's not the way it works.
- The Porter: How about three thousand now?
- Jack McGee: How about we say goodbye?
- [David witnesses a mugging, only to be approached by one of the muggers]
- Bill: You got lousy timing. You looking to get involved?
- Buster Caldwell: Don't you have any normal friends?
- Marsha: What do you mean? My friends are normal.
- Buster Caldwell: Sure they are. They all just happen to be under five feet.
- Marsha: Well, most of my friends are little people.
- Buster Caldwell: We might be small, Marsha, but we don't have to live in a sideshow.
