Big hitter, the Lama.

Has anybody seen Sam Lowry?

There’s a lotta in’s, a lotta outs, a lotta different facets, a lotta interrested parties.

Broke into the wrong God damn rec room, didn’t yeah!?!?!

You look terrible Mr. Wahuwahturi, you look like a bag of shit stuffed in a cheap suit. Not that anybody could look good under these lights. I can feel them sucking the life out of me, suck suck suck.

It’s noon, you must be parched.

Let’s get this thing on the hump!

Does Berry Manilow know you raid his wardrobe?

I gotta sleep next to a guy named after a ducks dork.

I didn’t like him anyway. He wasn’t right…in the head.

We grow copious amounts of ganja, right?

You don’t understand, you can never ask me to stop drinking.

He’s killed more people than smallpox.

I will worship the movie trivia god who can name all of these films.
