Quotations

[to his father] I. Don't want. Your life!

Now if we go out there, and we half-ass it 'cause we're scared, all we're left with is an excuse; we're always gonna wonder. But if we go out there, and we give it absolutely everything - that's heroic. Let's be heroes."

[to Mox] You got to be the dumbest smart kid I know.

It makes me wonder if you know the different between a sneeze and a wet fart!

Never show weakness, the only pain that matters is the pain you inflict.

The hard work of so many, sacrificed by the disrespect of few.

[to Mox] Your daddy was a no-talent pussy, but at least he listened!

[Mooning Mox and Billy Bob through the truck window] Good moonin, Boys! Good moonin! I have been up since the crack of dawn and I had to ass you a question.

[singing] She broke my heart, so I broke her jaw.

[after stealing a cop car] I'm gonna go to jail!
