Bob Cody Quotes:

  • Bob Cody: Ever hear of Frederick Turner, Mr. Oliver?

    Neal Oliver: No, sir.

    Bob Cody: Well, he was an historian. About a hundred years ago he came up with a theory about the frontier. He said the frontier was a safety valve for civilization, a place for people to go to keep from goin' mad. So, whenever there were folks who couldn't fit in with the way things were, nuts, and malcontents, and extremists, they'd pack up and head for the frontier. That's how America got started - all the crackpots and troublemakers in Europe packed up and went to a frontier which became the thirteen colonies. When some people couldn't fit in with that, they moved farther west, which is why all the nuts eventually ended up in California. Turner died in 1932, so he wasn't around long enough to see what would happen to the world when we ran out of frontier. Some people say we have the frontier of the mind, and they go off and explore the wonderful world of alcohol and drugs, but that's no frontier. It's just another way for us to fool ourselves. And we've created this phony frontier with computers, which allows people to, you know, think they've escaped. A frontier with access fees?

    Neal Oliver: What about space? You know, the final frontier!

    Bob Cody: Ah, Star Trek isn't space. That's television - fine fuckin' frontier that is. Besides, how many folks can just pack up and go to space?

  • Bob Cody: Say what you mean, mean what you say. You know that if everybody followed that rule, there'd be a lot less trouble. You know, we still have a contract, Mr. Oliver. Sure hope you're not thinking about breaking that contract.

    Neal Oliver: Thinking about it? Yes. Doing it? No, sir.

    Bob Cody: [laughs] That's a very honest response. That's a breath of fresh air.

  • Neal Oliver: [voice over] Mr. Cody had rather unique tastes in audio stimulation.

    Woman on radio: The choice is clear. The Arion 620, the American-made car for American-made drivers.

    Bob Cody: That's a lie. Arion engines are made in Japan.

    Man on radio: Kill Signal, the movie everyone's talking about, from Weber Films.

    Bob Cody: [laughs] That's another lie. We're not talking about it.

    Another man on radio: We're the U.S. post office, and we care.

    Bob Cody: Oh! That's the biggest whopper of all.

  • Bob Cody: Hey, Bob Cody. I don't drive, and I don't like to hitchhike. When I hitchhike I'm at the mercy of the driver. But when I pay for the ride, I'm the employer and I call the shots. That's how I like it. So you want to work for me?

    Neal Oliver: Well, I'm going to Danver. I wouldn't mind making some money.

    Bob Cody: Good. I'm going to Renburg. It's on your way. Here's my proposition. You pay for gas, pay for your meals. No alcohol while you're on payroll. I pick the radio stations. I initiate all conversations. I'll pay you $10 cash every hour, and the mileage money when we get to Renburg. In all other matters, you play straight with me, I'll play straight with you. So, do we have a contract?

    Neal Oliver: We have a contract.

    Bob Cody: So who's my new employee?

    Neal Oliver: Neal Oliver.

    Bob Cody: Mr. Oliver, you may call me "Mr. Cody" or "sir".

    Neal Oliver: You've got it, sir.

  • Ernie 'Slam' Webster: [Bob and Mike are carrying a very drunk Slam to the truck]

    [Slam talking drunk]

    Ernie 'Slam' Webster: I'm sorry everyone.

    Bob Cody: There are 2 kinds of drunks, those that are sorry and those that soon will be.
