View Quote Miller: John Wayne was a ****.
Repo Men: The hell he was!
Miller: He was, too, you boys. I installed two-way mirrors in his pad in Brentwood, and he came to the door in a dress.
Oly: That don't mean nothing, Miller. A lot of straight guys like to watch their buddies ****. I know I do.
Otto Plettschner: Damn straight!
Note: This may be an allusion to Raymond Burr, who, according to the biography, "Hiding in Plain Sight", came to the door to let in a workman wearing a pink robe. "When the workers came to my house on Monday, I asked them how the meeting went on Sunday and they said 'fine,' but I could sense something was off-base," Hiller said. "They didn't have the enthusiasm that they had before, or which I expected. I kept at them, 'What's the matter?' Turned out they were going to do the work, but when they knocked and Raymond opened the door, he was wearing a pink bathrobe. And that put the one who just loved him away."

View Quote A lot o' people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch o' unconnected incidents 'n things. They don't realize that there's this, like, lattice o' coincidence that lays on top o' everything. Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, "plate," or "shrimp," or "plate o' shrimp" out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconsciousness.

View Quote Ra-di-a-tion. Yes, indeed. You hear the most outrageous lies about it. Half-baked goggle-box do-gooders telling everybody it's bad for you. Pernicious nonsense! Everybody could stand a hundred chest X-rays a year! They oughta have 'em, too.

View Quote Mr. Humphries: It's been brought to my attention that you're not paying attention to the way you space the cans. Many young men, of your age, in these uncertain times...Otto, are you paying attention to me?

View Quote Bud: Credit is a sacred trust, it's what our free society was founded on! Do you think they give a damn about their bills in Russia? I said do you think they give a damn about their bills in Russia!?

Bud: What are you, a ****in' Commie?
Otto Maddox: No, I aint no Commie!
Bud: I don't want no Commies in my car! [pause] No Christians, either!

View Quote [Duke has been shot in a botched hold-up]
Duke: The lights are growing dim. I know a life of crime led me to this sorry fate... And yet, I blame society. Society made me what I am.
Otto Maddox: Bullshit! You're a white suburban punk, just like me!
Duke [gasping for breath]: But it still hurts!
Otto Maddox: You're gonna be all right.
[Duke groans mournfully]
Otto Maddox: Maybe not.

Otto Maddox: **** you.

Otto Maddox: So what?
Otto Plettschner: "So what"? Never say "**** you" to me, because you haven't earned the right yet!

View Quote I shall not cause harm to any vehicle nor the personal contents thereof, nor through inaction let that vehicle or the personal contents thereof come to harm. It's what I call the Repo Code, kid. Don't forget it--etch it in your brain. Not many people got a code to live by anymore.
