A line from Mike Newhouse

Look, man, I got it all planned out. Most fights in places like this never get past a punch or two before they're broken up, know what I'm saying? There's almost a natural instinct not to upset the herd. So all I have to do is get in one good punch, play defense and wait.

God, don't you ever feel like everything we do and everything we've been taught is just to service the future?

Yeah I know, like it's all preparation.

Right. But what are we preparing ourselves for?

Mike

Death.

Life of the party.

Mike

It's true.

You know, but that's valid because if we are all gonna die anyway shouldn't we be enjoying ourselves now? You know, I'd like to quit thinking of the present, like right now, as some minor insignificant preamble to something else.

So, you're not gonna go to law school? What do you wanna do then?

Mike

I wanna dance!

[describing his dream]

So there I am, getting it on with this perfect female body and...

Mike

What?

I can't say.

Mike

No, you can't give a build-up like that and not deliver. You know, a perfect female body, it's not a bad start.

But with the head of Abraham Lincoln. With the hat and the beard, everything.

Clint

What did you just say?

Mike

What?

Clint

Just now, man. When you walked past, what'd you say?

Mike

About what?

Clint

You said, "Someone's tokin' some reefer."

Mike

No, I meant somewhere I smell some pot, you know? It was just an observation.

Clint

Oh, an observation, huh? Well who the hell are you, man? Isaac **** Newton?

Mike

Don't air raid for that bitch, I hate that shit. It's like that Clint ****er in front of all his friends. Huh? Huh, mother ****er?

Okay Mike.

Mike

Dominant male monkey mother ****er.

Which one of you had the theory about how president Ford's old football head injuries is affecting the economy?

Did you know Ford was on the Warren Commission?

Mike

Who cares, he's outta there this fall. Look, we need some alcohol.

That's a thought.

Mike

I'm just sayin', if we're gonna go out, if we're gonna drive around, we should just do something.

Yeah, you know, you're right, man. I'm just gonna, you know, get drunk, maybe get laid or start a fight...

Mike

I'm serious, man. We should be up for anything.
