Switchblade Sam Quotes in Dennis the Menace (1993)

Switchblade Sam: Put a cork in it, you're giving me a headache.

Dennis: I don't have a cork.

Switchblade Sam: Shut your mouth.

Dennis: I can't because my nose is stuffy, because of my allergies. If I shut my mouth, I can't breathe good.

Switchblade Sam: Then keep your mouth open, but don't talk.

Dennis: Where do you put the cork when you put a cork in it?

Switchblade Sam: [Pants irritably a couple times] Didn't I ask you to shut your yap?

Dennis: What's a yap?

Switchblade Sam: It's your mouth!

Dennis: I can't shut my mouth because my nose is stuffy -...

Switchblade Sam: SHUT UP!

[echoes]

Dennis: I have one more question.

Switchblade Sam: What?

Dennis: What does a hostage have to do?

Switchblade Sam: Nothing.

Dennis: Then how come you need one?

Switchblade Sam: In case the cops show up!

Dennis: Do I get to use a gun?

Switchblade Sam: No, you get to stand in front of me in case the cops use a gun.

Chief of Police: I don't believe I've seen you around here before.

Switchblade Sam: Maybe that's 'cause I ain't never been around here.

Chief of Police: What are you up to, buddy?

Switchblade Sam: What's it to ya?

Chief of Police: Now look, I run a nice clean town here, and I don't want any trouble. So, my advice to you is just follow the sun on out of here.

Switchblade Sam: The only reason I ain't moving on is 'cause you stopped to give me the breeze.

[Switchblade Sam grins exposing his ugly teeth, clicks them together, and leaves with a woman's purse he stole from a baby's carraige]

Dennis: I'm sorry I'm not having a very fun camping trip.

Switchblade Sam: Nobody shoots a marble at my head and sets my pants on fire!

Dennis: That was an accident.

Switchblade Sam: [picks him up and stands him up] There ain't gonna be no more accidents! Turn around!

[Dennis shrugs and does so, Sam ties up Dennis's legs with rope]

Dennis: You're doing it wrong.

Switchblade Sam: Get lost. I tied up lots of guys in my life.

Dennis: Okay, but I bet you never tied up a five-year-old. I'll just get out.

Switchblade Sam: I'll make this rope so tight, you won't be able to move.

Dennis: The rope's too big and my legs are too small to make it tight enough. There's only one way to do it, and I know because lots of people have tried to tie me up, but it doesn't work. But you try it your way. I'll just get out and you'll just have to keep doing it.

Dennis: [upon discovering that Switchblade Sam had stolen Mr. Wilson's gold] This is Mr. Wilson's gold. How come you got it?

Switchblade Sam: I stole it.

Dennis: You're a robber?

Switchblade Sam: I'm a thief.

Dennis: Uh-oh.

Switchblade Sam: Say your prayers, little rat!

Dennis: I can't, I didn't take my bath yet.

Switchblade Sam: Have it your own way!

[as Sam readies his knife on Dennis, the train arrives and the rope tied on him sticks him to the ceiling, he then lands back into the water and is stabbed in the butt by his own blade]
