    Carl: Oh, to hell and be damned I am!

    Van Helsing: Why can't I have one of those?

  • Van Helsing: Now, Carl, whatever you do, don't stare at him.

    [he opens the coach door, revealing the Frankenstein Monster shackled into the seat, struggling and snarling]

    Carl: I wasn't around for those 400 years, was I?

  • Carl: [after reading something from a book in the tower in the Valerious Manner] Well, that's interesting...

    [hearing something, he goes to the window and sees hundreds of pygmy bats flying past]

    Carl: Oh, that's not good! Must... warn... somebody!

  • Carl: [notices Van Helsing] Ah, there you are. So, did you bring Mr. Hyde back or did you kill him?

    [acts obvious]

    Carl: You killed him, didn't you? That's why they get so annoyed. When they ask you to bring someone back they don't mean as a corpse.

  • [Van Helsing and Anna are both hanging off the sides of the carriage, hanging over the cliff. While the Monster is chained in his seat, Carl starts to pull Anna in, but Van Helsing's grip starts to fail]

    Frankenstein's Monster: Only if you don't hurry!

  • [approaching the entrance to Castle Dracula]

    Carl: Do we have a plan? I mean, it doesn't have to be Wellington's at Waterloo, but some kind of plan would be nice.

    Van Helsing: We're going to go in there and stop Dracula.

    Anna Valerious: And kill anyone who gets in our way.

    Carl: [quickly turns around] Well, you let me know how that goes...

  • Villager: He killed a vampire!

    Carl: Isn't that a good thing?

    Top Hat: The Vampires only take what they need to survive. Maybe two or three a month... but now they will kill for revenge!

  • Carl: Now, I've got some things that will put the bit back in your mouth...

    [Van Helsing stops to inspect a rack of swords]

    Carl: Oh, any idiot can make a sword.

    [a hulking monk turns around holding a newly-forged sword, staring daggers at Carl]

    Carl: Oh, sorry, Father.

  • Carl: What are we doing here? Why is it so important to kill this Dracula anyway?

    Van Helsing: Because he's the son of the devil.

    Van Helsing: Because if we kill him, anything bitten by him or created will also die.

    Carl: I mean besides that.

  • Carl: Ah! Here's something new!

    [pumps a drop of the yellow liquid onto his pinky finger]

  • [Carl hands Van Helsing his latest invention, an automatic crossbow]

    Carl: A work of certifiable genius.

    Van Helsing: If you don't say so yourself.

    Carl: Well, I did say so myself.

  • Van Helsing: That's why you're coming with me.

    Carl: The hell be damned that I am.

    Van Helsing: You cursed. Not very well, mind you, but you're a monk. You shouldn't curse at all.

  • Carl: Are you always this popular?

    Van Helsing: Pretty much.

  • Carl: You've never gone after vampires before, have you?

    Van Helsing: Vampires, gargoyles, warlocks, they're all the same - best when cooked well.

  • Anna Valerious: [while looking at the cure for the werewolf curse] Go ahead, grab it.

    Carl: Why don't you go ahead and grab it? If there's one thing I've learned, it's never to stick your hand into a viscous material.

  • Van Helsing: Carl, I need you to do something

    Carl: I'm not gonna like this am I?

  • Carl: [shouts] Vampires!

    [jumps up and then looks at the couch where the barmaid he had just made love to is]

    Carl: Now I remember.

  • Van Helsing: [Bangs on the canal gate feverishly while staying afloat; he looks on as the Frankenstein monster drifts away with the enemy] I must save him!

    Carl: [Holding his head down] No, you can't.

    Van Helsing: [Surprised] Why?

    Carl: [Lamentingly] I cabled Rome earlier to apprise them of our situation.

    Van Helsing: And what did they say?

    Carl: [Speaks with sadness in his voice] Even if you somehow kill Dracula, Rome orders you to destroy Frankenstein as well.

    Van Helsing: But he isn't evil!

    Carl: Yes, but they say he isn't human either.

    Van Helsing: Do they know him? Have they talked with him? Who are they to judge?

    Carl: They want you to destroy him so he can never be used to harm humanity.

    Van Helsing: And what of *me?* Did you tell them what *I'm* to become?

    [Swiftly grabs hold of Carl's throat]

    Van Helsing: Did they tell you how to *kill* me?

    [He lifts him up with one arm, pinning him to the gate; the more he speaks, the tighter his grip gets around Carl's throat, while he struggles vainly to free himself]

    Van Helsing: The correct *angle* of the stake as it enters my heart?

    Anna Valerious: [Anna, terrified of his outburst tries to grab hold of Van Helsing to get him to release Carl] No! Stop!

    Van Helsing: [His hand still tightening, his iris dilate and begin to glow an eerie, pale yellow as he yells] The exact measure of *silver* in each *bullet*? Huh?

    Carl: [Croaks pitifully in Van Helsing's grip, and speaks pleadingly] No, I-I left you out!

    Van Helsing: [Van Helsing's eyes look more and more savage. He grimaces and doubles over, releasing Carl from his grasp. Then he clutches himself, as a vicious roar bellows though his lips; he snarls and sneers while clenching his fists trying to fight away the curse. Anna and Carl look at him with both fear of and for him; as his eyes return to that of human, he realizes he has little time left and that he has hurt his best friend. He looks at Carl with regret] I'm sorry... It is starting...

  • [after a big vine has swiped Carl's car]

    Carl: Fine! Take it!

  • Alan Parrish: Listen, Carl. I know it doesn't mean much after twenty-six years. But I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

    Alan Parrish: It's me, Alan.

  • Alan Parrish: Where's Sir Sav-A-Lot?

    Carl: Monroe and Elm!

    Alan Parrish: The Episcopal Church.

    Carl: No, it's not a church anymore. Now it's a Speedy Burger. Or at least it was. I don't know what's left of it. People in this town are goin' loopy.

  • [after Alan jumps onto Carl's cruiser]

    Alan Parrish: What year is it?

    Carl: It was brand new.

    Alan Parrish: No, what year is it?

    Judy Shepherd: Uh, 1995, remember?

    Alan Parrish: [in shock] '95?

    Carl: You got some ID? Oh, let me guess, you probably left it in your other Tarzan outfit, right?

    Alan Parrish: [to himself] 26 years!

    [stomps off]

    Damian: He's wrong. I won't last six months. It's metastasized. Liver and lungs. This morning the oncologist was talking about hospice care.

  • Jimmy: What girl wants to dance with a guy who looks like he should still be in Gymboree?

    Carl: [quietly] I didn't think we liked girls yet, Jim.

    Jimmy: Oh, we don't, we don't, no, not yet. However, one day, Carl, an influx of hormones that we can't control will overpower our better judgment and drive us to pursue the female species against our will.

  • Carl: Hey, this astronaut food isn't too bad.

    Jimmy: That's toothpaste, Carl.

    Louis: And he sure looks a helluva lot like that dude!

    Carl: We're screwed!

    James: What do you mean, we? You're the one who pulled the trigger, pal!

    Louis: What the hell is goin' on?

    James: Uh, Louis, Carl seems to know this guy!

    Carl: I don't know him at all!

    James: What I'm trying to say is, uh, uh, uh, he shot him!

    Carl: With a pellet gun!

    James: But he thought he hit him in the butt!

    Carl: I did him in the butt! Look Louis, I know that I did not kill this man. Last night, this guy was beatin' on his ol' lady. So I took it upon myself to end the dispute.

    Louis: So you shot him?

    Carl: With a pellet gun!

    Louis: So you said.

    [Louis stands the body of Berger up out of the barrel]

    Louis: Now you said you hit him from your apartment across the way.

    Carl: Yeah.

    Louis: So how the hell did he end up here?

    Carl: Wha, why don't you *ask* him?

    James: This is wrong! We should just have gone to the cops and told them what happened!

    Carl: Hey listen! You are just as guilty! You were there, that makes you an accomplice!

    James: Screw you!

    Carl: You are an asshole!

    James: And you are a trigger-happy idiot!

    Carl: Well, I'm not going to rot in jail alone!

    James: Well you're not gonna screw up my life, you son of a bitch!

    [James slugs Carl, and both begin to roll on the ground fighting]

    Louis: Hey!

    [Carl rushes over to break up the fight, dropping Berger's body]

    James: You and your stupid pellet gun! Ohhh, waaaaahhh!

  • Carl: Golf clap?

    James: Golf clap.

  • James: What are you doing?

    Carl: I hate shitheads who bully their women.

    James: So what are you going to do?

    Carl: Shoot him.

    James: What?

    Carl: It's the principle, James.

    James: With a pellet gun? What are you going to accomplish using that stupid thing?

    Carl: It allows me to seriously aggravate a situation without actually changing the course of history. It also stings like a bitch.

  • James: What an absolutely gorgeous day. Warm Sun, beautiful women...

    Carl: And the air is just right for drinking!

  • Biff: Hold it honey!

    [Keeping the gun trained on Carl and Susan, Biff looks over to Mario]

    Biff: You listen to me, you Italian son of a bitch, and you listen good! The day you tell me, I don't know shit, and I let you get away with it, is the day *that*

    [points to the ocean in the background]

    Biff: ocean freezes over!

    Mario: That's it, that's it, your history!

    [points his tazer at Biff and shoots. Two electrodes land square in Biff's chest, sending thousands of volts of electricity into him]

    Biff: Yaaaawwwwwwwwwyyaaaawwwwww, uhhhhhh!

    [Biff collapses and passes out from being electrocuted]

    Carl: Now!

    [Carl and Susan rush into Mario, knocking him over and run towards Susan's car]

  • James: This is the last year we throw trash.

    Carl: You said that last year.

    James: Yeah, but this year I mean it.

    Carl: You meant it last year.

  • Susan Wilkins, Berger's Campaign Manager: [car explodes] That's my car!

    Carl: Looks pretty undriveable... Come on!

    Susan Wilkins, Berger's Campaign Manager: Ted! Ted, what the hell is going on?

    Carl: Uh, I left out a few things about myself...

    Susan Wilkins, Berger's Campaign Manager: I'm waiting, you son of a bitch!

    Carl: First of all, it's Carl! So when you yell for me in a panic, yell Carl, OK?

    Susan Wilkins, Berger's Campaign Manager: Someting tells me there's more...

    Carl: Last night you and Berger had a fight! You walked away, and the next day Berger was dead!

    Susan Wilkins, Berger's Campaign Manager: How the hell do you know about that? Uh!

    [Susan hits the wall]

    Susan Wilkins, Berger's Campaign Manager: .

    Carl: Look, I saw the two of you...

    Susan Wilkins, Berger's Campaign Manager: Wait a minute! Wait a minute! You were spying on me?

    Carl: Well, I wouldn't really consider it spying...

    Susan Wilkins, Berger's Campaign Manager: [mockingly] Well, what would you really consider it then?

    Carl: Let me finish! Lookit, you and Jack had a fight. You ran off, and the next day I found Jack's body in the trash.

    Susan Wilkins, Berger's Campaign Manager: Jack's body?

    Carl: Somebody killed him, Susan. For a while, I thought it was you.

    Susan Wilkins, Berger's Campaign Manager: Wait, Jack cannot be dead, he was at my apartment last night!

    Carl: Trust me, Jack is dead!

    Susan Wilkins, Berger's Campaign Manager: No no no, wait, Jack came over all upset because of a tape, and he wanted it, and I went to get the right tape...

    [Susan reaches into her jacket pocket and finds the tape]

    Susan Wilkins, Berger's Campaign Manager: This is it! This is it, this is what the crooks are after! Come on, we have to get this to the police!

    [slaps Carl]

    Carl: Wha, what the hell was that for?

    Susan Wilkins, Berger's Campaign Manager: Fo, for lying to me. I hate liars!

    [starts to run again]

    Carl: Hates liars?

    Susan Wilkins, Berger's Campaign Manager: [Susan runs back to Carl and slaps him again] *THAT's* for spying on me!

    [Susan starts to run off again, leaving Carl standing there, confused. Realizing Carl is not running with her, she runs back and grabs his arm. Carl flinches, expecting to be slapped again]

    Susan Wilkins, Berger's Campaign Manager: Come on!

  • James: Hey Carl!

    Carl: What?

    James: I think I have a problem over here!

    Carl: Hold on, let me think of something.

    Carl: Hey James! I didn't think of anything yet.

  • Carl: Seen my gloves, compadre?

    James: In the glove compartemente.

  • [Carl and James playing Trivial Pursuit]

    Carl: What does a phrenologist feel and interpret?

    James: The size of Walt's asshole. A phrenologist feels and interprets the bumps on your head. Skull features.

    James: Yeah, well that depends on which head you're talking about.

  • James: Eh, Carl?

    Carl: Yeah?

    James: What did you mean when you said I was hopeless?

    Carl: I meant exactly... what I said.

    James: I still don't understand.

    Carl: Well, let's examine the word: hope-less. Less than hopeful. That's what you are.

    James: Am I majorly hopeless or partially hopeless?

    Carl: I'd say, majorly. Why do you ask?

    James: I'll try and change.

    Carl: No, you won't.

    Carl: In, your apartment.

    Susan Wilkins, Berger's Campaign Manager: What's wrong with yours?

    Carl: Oh no, no, my ice machine is... broken, and it's such a long way... Are you really going to refuse a man who is in, dire need of... of medical attention?

    Captain Gibbs: [Sarcastically] You know, you're really breaking my heart, Carl.

    Carl: But, captain, they won't let me see my baby. I mean, some cop said they won't release it because of evidence or something. Come on, what's the deal?

    Captain Gibbs: That's why we have impound lots.

    Carl: Look! I have to show what's left of my car to the insurance adjuster or I'll never get any money out of it. You gotta help me! Please!

    Captain Gibbs: I'll meet you down there at 4:00.

    Carl: 4:00? I have to be in Hollywood, this afternoon for an important meeting. Let's make it 2:30. What do you say?

    Captain Gibbs: No. Good-bye, Carl.

    Captain Gibbs: Shut up, Carl.

  • Maindrian Pace: I'm Maindrian Pace, adjuster for the insurance company.

    Carl: All right, what about my check?

    Maindrian Pace: Yeah, I'm sorry, are you Mr. DeGusta?

    Carl: Yes, I am.

    Maindrian Pace: Yeah, I'm sorry, but it doesn't work quite that easily, we'll have to conduct an investigation, first.

    Carl: Hey, look, really, I don't need this "gosh I'm sorry for your loss". I'm a busy man, I have things to do, I have business appointments to deal with. I want my money and I want it, now! I mean, I don't want to hear anything by "I'll call you later", because that's my game.

    Judi Gibbs: Carl, you'll get another car.

    Carl: I don't want another car! I want my Bricklin! I can't drive around this town without a status car! Hey, want do you want me to drive around in? A Bug?

    Captain Gibbs: Slow down, Carl. Your lips are smoking. Mr. Pace, can I talk to you for am minute, please?

    Maindrian Pace: Sure.

    [He takes Maindrian aside from a far distance from Judi and Carl]

    Captain Gibbs: Now, for reasons known only to God, my daughter sees something in this gentleman and I'd appreciate it if you could speed up the process just a little.

    Maindrian Pace: Well, we do have certain procedures we do have to follow.

    Captain Gibbs: I'm fully aware of procedures, Mr. Pace, I happen to be the captain of the Los Angeles Police Department. Auto theft detail.

    Maindrian Pace: I see.

    [He turns around to Carl]

    Maindrian Pace: Mr. DeGusta, I'll have your check for $15,000 along with proof of insurance loss.

I don't think he's in there! Oh, wait he is!' It's so sad! I bet you jackrabbit for a quick fifteen seconds.

    Honey Mustard: No! I'm not all right. It's all a lie. Everything you've been told, everything you believe in.

    Carl: Hey, Honey Mustard, you're acting cray cray!

    Brenda: Carl, we shouldn't even be talking to this asshole. Everyone knows Honey Mustard's weird. I mean, What is he, Honey? Is he mustard? It's like make up your mind, I just kill yourself.

    Honey Mustard: You fucking idiots! I've been there, I've seen that shit and there ain't no way I'm going back.

    Frank: Wait, wait, wait, wait. You've been to the Great Beyond?

    Brenda: I'm so happy, the Gods put our packages together.

    Frank: Because, we belong together.

    Frank: It's like, we were made for each other.

    Frank: I can't wait just finally get up in there, just raw-dog it. But full disclosure, I'm pretty fucking nervous about this. I don't know how well, I'm gonna perform once it happens. I've obviously never been in a bun, so.

    [chuckling]

    Brenda: Hey, I'm not gonna be any better. I've never opened up. I mean, look how tight I am.

    Frank: Oh, sweet fucking fuck. Look, okay. I know it's against the rules. But, I can't wait anymore. I need to just feel you.

    Brenda: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

    FrankBrenda: Just the tips?

    Brenda: Big tip.

    Frank: Oh, you wouldn't dare.

  • Carl: [after being insulted by Brenda] Dude, um, how do I say this to you gently? But your girlfriend, um... She's a fucking cunt.

    Frank: Shut up! She's fresh as fuck, and you know it.

    Carl: Dude, I just don't why you're limiting yourself to one bun. There's plenty of buns out there.

    Frank: Because I believe in bun-ogamy. I'm a bun-ogamist, and when a bun this fresh is into you, all you ask is when and how deep.

  • Carl: [as they attempt to escape from the window] Okay, little buddy, jump on the count of three! One, two...

    Carl: Barry, wake up!

    Barry: What? I'm up, I'm up!

    Frank: This song is such an awesome way to start every morning.

    Carl: It's just a super nice way of showing the gods how much we appreciate everything they'll do for us, once they take us out those doors to the Great Beyond.

    Carl: Who says we're gonna eat him after we kill them?

    Frank: Yeah, come on, move it.

    Manfred: You know, I don't like animals that kill for pleasure.

    [flings his foot up]

    Sid: Ah, YUCK! This is defineately NOT in my day!

    [to Frank]

    Sid: You know what I'm saying?

    [he begins shaking his foot to get to poo off, unknowingly flicking it into Carl's face]

    Sid: Oh, what a mess! Hey, rhinos, did you know that you know you have really tiny brains, you know that? Naw, that's a fact. No offense. You probably don't know what I'm talking about.

    [chuckles]

    Sid: [sees something] Oh! Yum-o!

    Lewis: Why would my hair be a dead giveaway?

    Wilbur: That is an excellent question!

    [begins to run away]

    Lewis: Wait! Where are you going?

    Wilbur: Another excellent question!

  • Carl: What do you mean don't go to the family? How can we not go to the family is this type of family crisis? By leaving the garage door unlocked, you let the time machine get stolen and now the entire time stream could be altered! That, and someone took my bike.

    Wilbur: Look, I told you. It's gonna all work out.

    [Wilbur has set up a model with figurines of Wilbur and Lewis]

    Wilbur: First, he goes in the garage, away from everybody, I show up and give him the pep talk of the century.

    Carl: No. But I like the word, shaggy.

  • Carl: She said she was turning forty. That means fifty... or sixty. It'd be like fucking your own mother.

  • Carl: The best thing would be to marry her, and then get a good disease right away. You wouldn't have to worry about laying her and you wouldn't have to worry about the rent either. That's the best solution for a writer. Listen. All I want is a good wheelchair and three meals a day. Then, I'd give them something to read, those pricks.

  • Bender: How does one become a janitor?

    Carl: You wanna be a janitor?

But following a broom around after shitheads like you for the last 8 years, I've learned a couple of things. I look through your letters. I look through your lockers.

    Eric: I believed in Billy all along, sir.

    Billy Madison: [to Eric] Oh, cut the horseshit! I know you blackmailed Max.

    Brian Madison: Take it easy, Billy. Things were going along great until this wrestling freak messed things up. Billy should get another shot at high school.

    Eric: Hey, rules are rules. Billy was supposed to finish each grade within the two weeks or I get the company. He didn't finish ninth grade.

    Carl: Eric, certainly there are extenuating circumstances.

    Eric: Extenuating, "exschmenuating". We had a deal. A signed, written deal. Each grade, two weeks, or I get the company.

    Brian Madison: Well, technically you're right, but...

    Eric: [before Brian could continue talking, Eric interrupts him] Oh, shut up, Brian. I've had to listen to your jawing for too long. "Well, technically..." Blah, blah, blah! Just shut up! So, are you ready to hand the company over to me now?

    Ed: You son of a bitch.

    Carl: Ooh, you really wish it was the old man in the ambulance, don't you?

    Ed: I did before, but now I wish it was you.

    Carl: How are your girls, Ed?

    Patti: That's right, we have girls. You know why? Because we weren't cynical and cold-blooded enough to put Ed's sperm in a centrifuge and spin it around to separate the X's from the Y's! Excuse me, brother, but no matter how much uncle Joe is worth, there is a line below which we will not go. Jolene? Joette? Let's go in, girls.

  • Carl: You know Ray, since your kid's moved in, the food's gotten better.

    Carl: , just like that Diangelo guy.

    Ray Gleason: You mean, Michaelangelo?

    Ray Gleason: [suddenly sees Carl eating the cake] Did you just take that off the cake?

    Carl: [looks guilty]

    Ray Gleason: Don't do that! You know how long I've worked on this cake?

And there's this impact and you know something terrible has happened to that dog but it walks away and it doesn't seem to even realize the implications cause it just goes on. But you know that something terrible has happened inside this dog. That's, I think, what happened to Lee. It's like she's a dog that got hit by a car, and she walked away and she's still walking, but some very, very important things inside her are damaged.

  • Bernie: Features.

    Carl: We got Alison's profile of the teenage hit man. We got Grace finally done with that Hollywood who's-banging-who chart and part three in our continuing saga on penile implants.

    Henry: Yeah, by the way, could we possibly get another dick drawing? It looks like a map of Florida. I also look like, I think, the 5th at Shinnecock Country Club, doesn't it? I would play over the water, by the way, as a suggestion.

  • Carl: I have to get the pee out of my body, preferably in a toilet.

  • Doug: Dude, you have a *great* wife.

    Carl: Yeah, I know I have a great wife. I'm the one who married her.

  • Carl: You're Aaron Berg, aren't you? I recognize you. You're the game designer.

    Aaron Berg: O and you must be Sherlock Holmes, is that right? I'll take Watson

    [points to Robyn]

    Aaron Berg: , thankyou. She got a better body.

  • Carl: Here. Put this on.

    Ken: What is this?

    Jo Malone: [sardonically] Don't walk toward the light Mom.

  • Carl: Nat?

    Natalie Bevin: Hmm?

    Carl: Man in your life? Woman with your package I'm sure has a man in her life.

    Natalie Bevin: Or a woman.

    Carl: [pause] Everyone's a lesbian.

  • Natalie Bevin: I'm just trying to play this song the way I know how. I'm not Ben. I'm not trying to be Ben, OK? In my experience, if you want to make a good song you've got to mess around with it. Have a little bit of fun. That's all I'm trying to do.

    Flit: In your experience? As what? A by-the-hour session hooker?

    Carl: Oh no!

    Natalie Bevin: Fuck you, Flit!

  • Carl: Your mom's having a tough time.

    Jake: Maybe that's because you wrestle her every night.

  • Carl: It's strange, isn't it, to think of oneself as an assassin?

    Avner: Think of yourself as something else then.

  • Carl: [to Avner] I knew guys like you in the Army. You do any terrifying thing you are asked to do, but you have to do it running. You think you can outrun your fears, your doubts... The only thing that realy scares you is stillness. But everyone is overtaken eventualy.

  • Steve: You know how to shoot, to assassinate people, right? I mean, you make dolls in a toyshop, and you... you shop for sofas? And you- I don't know what you do.

    Carl: Me? I worry.

    Steve: [to Avner] So why did they make you team leader?

    Hans: Because he really knows how to cook a brisket.

    Avner: [starts laughing]

  • Carl: [to Avner] I knew guys like you in the army. You do any terrifying thing you're asked to do, but you have to do it running. You think you can outrun your fears, your doubts. The only thing that really scares you guys is stillness.

    Carl: I lost both of 'em!

  • Richie: [after stealing Richie's mother's car, and driving out of town] Bye Bye, "New Granola!"

    Carl: BY-IE!

  • Carl: Man, what am I gonna do with firecrackers?

    Richie: Give 'em to Claude. Let him smoke 'em.

  • Carl: The first day I ever met him he said: "Hi, I'm Ritchie White. I'm on probation."

  • Carl: You know, I think you're really beautiful. You are.

    Cory: No, I'm Not

  • Doberman: I don't get you, Carl. You live in a good place, your dad's got a good job with the Caddies. You're getting to be more of a punk every day, you know that? Lemme ask you somethin'. You got a drive and need to louse things up for yourself?

    Carl: I've got a drive, and need to be left alone, okay?

    [Runs up stairs]

  • Sandra Willat: Carl, we don't want you, to see your friend, Richie White for a while. Or, Claude Zachary either, now the teen center's gonna be closed, for a while. At least, get a new accounts fair.

    Carl: What's wrong with, Julia?

    Sandra Willat: I know, you like her, hon. But, she can't control, the wilder kids.

    Carl: Bullshit!

    Fred Willat: Don't you ever, talk to your mother like that again, young man. Do you hear, me?

    Carl: You're crazy.

    Fred Willat: Don't leave, while we're talking to you.

    Carl: Get off of me!

    [Fred, slaps Carl in the face]

    Sandra Willat: Fred, stop that!

    [Carl stormed off into his room while his parents were arguing]

  • Carl: This shit ain't over yet, bitch!

    Sissy: Oh, but I think it is.

    [Steps on Walter's drawing, crushing him]

  • Carl: [monster voice] Walter you little motherfucker.

  • Carl: Come on, Hank, let's chow!

    Hank: Eh, much obliged, Carl, but, I got to go down to see my grandmother.

    Carl: Oh, does she live in skid row?

    Carl: Yeah, well, I'll go with you. Maybe she's got a girl friend.

    Cooper: Can you tell me whose trailer it was, and who stayed in it?

    Carl: Uh, an old woman, and her grandson.

    Cooper: Can you tell me what their names were?

    Carl: Chalfont. As a matter of fact, 'Chalfont' was the name of the people that rented this space before. Two Chalfonts. Weird, huh?

  • Cooper: Thank you Carl. Sorry to wake you.

    Carl: That's okay. I was having a bad dream anyway.

  • Carl: Goddamn, these people are confusing.

  • Carl: I... uh, I've already gone places. I kind of like to stay where I am.

  • Mr. Leuchtag: Come sit down. Have a brandy with us.

    Mrs. Leuchtag: At last the day is came!

    Mr. Leuchtag: Mareichtag and I are speaking nothing but English now.

    Mrs. Leuchtag: So we should feel at home when we get to America.

    Mr. Leuchtag: [toasting] To America!

    Mrs. Leuchtag: To America!

  • Woman: What makes saloonkeepers so snobbish?

    Banker: Perhaps if you told him I ran the second largest banking house in Amsterdam.

    Banker: We have something to look forward to.

  • Carl: Look, you don't have to wait anymore. He's not coming back.

    Carl: Baby, are you sick? Talk to me.

    Jo: Tell me the truth, Carl. Who have you been sleeping with?

    Carl: Jo, I promise you since... Since you and I have been together, I have not slept with another woman, and I promise you that.

    Jo: What about a man?

    Carl: What the fuck did you just ask me?

    Jo: I see the way you look at them when you think I'm not paying attention. I see it. The pool boy in the Hamptons, my driver, the guy the other night at the opera. I see it all, Carl.

    Carl: You have no idea how much I hate coming up into this motherfucking house sometimes. Every day, Joanna, if it ain't you telling me what to wear, how to look, calling the shots over my head.

    Jo: Are you gay?

    Carl: How you gonna ask me a question like that?

    Jo: How did you marry a woman, and then turn around and let a man bend you over?

    Carl: Ain't nobody bending me over.

    Jo: So you doing the bending? Is that what it is?

    Carl: I don't wake up holding another man, walking down the street holding some man's hands. That's gay, okay? That ain't me.

    Jo: You're saying a lie, Carl. You're saying a lot without saying nothing at all.

    Carl: I'm saying that your husband is a man, Jo. I'm a man every day of the week. I'm a man. I'm just a man who enjoys having sex with another man, Jo. No attachments, no fucking... No relationship, just sex, you know? That's what I'm saying, and I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Jo, for my truth.

  • [first lines]

    Jenny: [to Hallam] You're dead. You're fucking dead! I'll get my brother on to you.

    Carl: [to Jenny] Jen, come back, wait!

    Carl: [to Hallam] If that was a joke, it wasn't a bit fucking funny. And I'd look out for her brother, he's fucking mental.

  • Nikki: [while changing tops] So do you know anything about this place?

    Heather Miller: Just the address.

    Carl: We're just heading out, right?

    Ryan: That's the deal.

  • Carl: [Pointing the gun at Leatherface] Drop the fuckin' saw! I said, drop it! Put it down!

    [Leatherface throws the chainsaw at Carl, missing him]

  • Carl: Hey, who turned off the band?

  • Carl: Aren't you going to invite me in?

    Sherry: How about you take off your clothes?

    Carl: Start your stopwatch, coach.

  • Carl: Hey man, you got one choice. You can show us around this shithole or we take our money elsewhere to Kentucky Fuck Chicken, which would be better than the shit your shovelling anyway.

    Sofia: Carl, you promised.

    Emma: Zack, put your testosterone away before you poison yourself.

  • Carl: This man may be a genius, but you ought to know... he's a fraud.

    Falkenberg: It isn't me that's discredited, it's any new ideas... you might as well kill them!

  • [awakened by rock music blaring on the radio]

    Carl: This is a hell of a way to wake up. A cacophony of horse manure.

    Carl: I know you don't WANT to be disturbed, but let's face it, you are!

    Carl: A lizard looks interesting, too.

  • Willie: Well, there must be a hundred houses like that around here.

    Carl: I'm only lookin' for one. And I'm lookin' for the lady who lives in it. And when I find her... I'm going to kill her. Oh, yes... oh, yes... I will kill her.

  • Carl: I know what you're thinking... the funny thing is, that usually women ask that question before men do. But the answer is Yes. I'm covered with pictures from the neck right down to the toes. Everywhere, and I mean everywhere.

  • Willie: Is - Is that what you mean by skin illustrations? Tattoos?

    Carl: They're not tattoos, they're skin illustrations! Don't you ever call them tattoos!

  • Carl: [shouting at the lake] Now shut up now, come on now! Shut up! All you do is make noise in the world!

    [speaking to Willie]

    Carl: That's how you handle little things, see. You just yell at 'em and they just shut up like a clam. And that puts 'em in their proper place. Man I don't like little things. I don't like - bugs, and frogs, and spiders, and creepy crawly things that *zing* out at 'cha and bite 'cha when you're not lookin'. You know what a tick looks like?

    Willie: Well, sure I seen ticks.

    Carl: Yeah, well they're the worst because they find ya no matter where ya are, and they creep up ya and they suck your blood, see? Ooh they stink, those rotten things.

  • Carl: Let me tell you... don't you look at those illustrations too long, because they'll come alive and they'll tell you stories.
