Cyril I sure miss playing basketball. I got depressed as hell when my athlete's foot and jock itch went away.

You know what I'd like to be? A cartoon of some kind. You know, like when they get hit in the head with a frying pan or something, and their head looks like the frying pan, with the handle and everything? They they just go booiing [shakes head] - and their head comes back to normal? Wouldn't that be great?

2 quotes Cyril Cyril I was sure I was going to get that scholarship. My dad of course was sure I wasn't. When I didn't, he was real understanding, you know. He loves to do that. He loves to be understanding when I fail.
Scenes with Cyril
8 scenes Cyril Hey! Are you really gonna shave your legs?
Certo! All the Italians do it.
Ah. Some country. The women don't shave theirs.
That's the place to be right there, Wyoming! Nothin' but prairies and mountains and nobody around. All you need is your bed roll and a good horse.
Cyril Don't forget your toothbrush! You're still in your cavity-prone years.
You want to tell me who did it?
Cyril It was dark... All I can tell your for sure is that they all wore Brut after-shave and reeked of Lavoris.
How are you fellas doing?
Cyril Well, we're a little disturbed by the situation in the Middle East, but other than that...
That's cause you don't have to ride it!
Well, you know, you don't have to ride it either, Dave. We're not gonna beg you.
Cyril We may plead, but we would never beg!
[after discovering that the college kids beat Cyril up]
They want a fight, we'll give 'em a fight.
Cyril We rednecks are few... college paleface students are many. I counsel peace.
You hear from your folks, Mooch?
Yeah, my dad called. He wanted to know if the house was sold. He could use the money something fierce.
Well, you can come and live with me when it's sold. In Italy, everybody lives together.
[laughs]
Since you won that Italian bike, man, you've been acting weird. You're really getting to think you're Italian, aren't you?
Cyril I wouldn't mind thinking I was someone myself.
The only thing I'm afraid of is wastin' the rest of my life with you guys!
Cyril I thought that was the whole plan. That we were going to waste the rest of our lives together.
