- A lot o' people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch o' unconnected incidents 'n things. They don't realize that there's this, like, lattice o' coincidence that lays on top o' everything. Give you an example, show you what I mean: suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, "plate," or "shrimp," or "plate o' shrimp" out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconsciousness.
- The more you drive, the less intelligent you are.

- It's a beautiful night... You can almost see the stars.
- Ra-di-a-tion. Yes, indeed. You hear the most outrageous lies about it. Half-baked goggle-box do-gooders telling everybody it's bad for you. Pernicious nonsense! Everybody could stand a hundred chest X-rays a year! They oughta have 'em, too.
Dialogue
- [Duke hurts his hand trying to open the trunk of the Malibu.]
- Archie: Aw, Dukie Wookie hurt his wittle hand.
- Duke: Fuck you, Archie! Just for that, you're not in the gang any more.
- Archie: I'm taking over now.
- Debbie: Oh, leave it!
- Archie: King Archie! The Invincible!
- Duke: Shut up, Archie!
- Archie: Hey Debbie! Watch this!
- [Archie opens the trunk and is vaporized by the contents.]
- J. Frank Parnell [blankly]: Oh, my. What a shame.
- Debbie: Duke, let's go do those crimes!
- Duke: Yeah. Let's get sushi... and not pay!
- Bud: Credit is a sacred trust. It's what our free society was founded on! Do you think they give a damn about their bills in Russia? [Otto does not answer] I said, "Do you think they give a damn about their bills in Russia?"
- Otto Maddox: They don't pay bills in Russia. It's all free.
- Bud: Free, my ass. What are you, a fuckin' Commie?
- Otto Maddox: No, I ain't no Commie!
- Bud: I don't want no Commies in my car!... No Christians, either!
- [Duke has been shot in a botched holdup.]
- Duke: The lights are growing dim. I know a life of crime led me to this sorry fate... And yet, I blame society. Society made me what I am.
- Otto Maddox: Bullshit! You're a white suburban punk, just like me!
- Duke: But it still hurts!
- Otto Maddox: You're gonna be all right. [Duke groans pitifully] Maybe not.
