    Archie Long: We could take down the flier!

    Harry Doyle: The Gold Coast Flier? That's the stupidest idea I've ever heard!

    Harry Doyle: That makes two of us.

  • [first lines]

    Yogurt boy: I've already made up my mind.

    Archie Long: So do you want chocolate or strawberry?

    Yogurt boy: Neither. I want amarillo.

    [Archie starts to get it for him]

    Yogurt boy: Hey, that's GELLOTTI! I asked for YOGURT!

    Archie Long: [peering at it] I don't see any difference.

    Yogurt boy: GELLOTTI is made out of CREAM! YOGURT is made out of BACTERIA CULTURE! Where were you raised, in a cave?

    Archie Long: All right, all right...

    [gets the yogurt for him]

    Archie Long: ... What, did I leave something out?

    Yogurt boy: What about my toppings? You're supposed to ask me what kind of toppings I want.

    Archie Long: Okay... What kind of toppings do you want?

    Yogurt boy: Do you have peanut butter M&M's?

    [Archie starts to put those on the yogurt]

    Yogurt boy: Hey, what are you doing? I didn't say I WANTED m&m's! I just asked if you HAD them!

    Archie Long: Yeah, we got 'em.

    Yogurt boy: Well, I don't want 'em! Do you have Oreo pieces?

    Archie Long: [holding those up] You want 'em?

    Yogurt boy: That's why I asked. And walnuts... NOT peanuts, WALNUTS. And jellybeans... NOT m&m's; I HATE m&m's... JELLYBEANS. And almond slices instead of walnuts.

    [the sweating Archie brings him the completed yogurt]

    Yogurt boy: Forget it; I'll just have it plain.

    Archie Long: [forcing himself not to faint, Archie scrapes everything off the yogurt] You sure you still want it?

    Yogurt boy: Of course I do! What do you think I came in here for?

    Archie Long: [smiling] You got it, kid. That'll be a $1.60, please.

  • Man in gay bar: Shall we?

    Archie Long: Shall we what?

    Man in gay bar: Shall we dance?

    [Archie looks around and sees males dancing with each other, and suddenly realizes he's in a gay bar; he quickly leaves while the man makes an "oh well" shrug. Archie exits the place and runs into Harry on the street]

    Archie Long: [to Harry] You don't want to go in there!

  • Harry Doyle: There ain't nothing to steal on the Gold Coast Flier.

    Archie Long: So? We'll steal the whole Goddamn train and ride it to Mexico.

    Harry Doyle: What for?

    Archie Long: To prove we can do it! It's the only thing that we'll have done to have worked out.

    Harry Doyle: You can't do this!

    Archie Long: Harry, I'm sick and tired of you telling me what I can do and what I can't do.

    Harry Doyle: Archie, the Gold Coast Flier is no armored truck. It's a 70-ton train speeding at 100 miles per hour.

    Archie Long: That didn't stop us the last time.

    Harry Doyle: The last time we were 30 years younger and we got caught. We were put away for 30 years!

    Harry Doyle: That's right. Because we ain't gonna do it.

    Archie Long: What are you gonna do with him, Harry?

    Harry Doyle: I'm gonna blow his head off.

    Archie Long: No, you don't want to do that.

    Harry Doyle: He was disrespectful to me!

    Archie Long: But you just got your suit cleaned. You'll get brains all over it.

    Harry Doyle: This punk don't have any brains.

    Archie Long: Yeah. But there'll be blood. All red and sticky, *bleah*. It'll be messy.

    Harry Doyle: Get a mop!

    Archie Long: Okay...
