Page 1 of 3

****, this hurts so much.

Sam

I know it hurts. But it's life, and it's real. And sometimes it **** hurts, but it's life, and it's pretty much all we got.

I think we've corrupted this innocent girl enough for one day!

Sam

I'm not innocent.

Yes, you are. That's what I like about you, okay? And I don't want this guy taking you to some sketchy quarry in the middle of Newark to find crack whores huffing turpentine or pit bulls raping each other, or whatever else is down here!

Man, that's the most worked up I've ever seen you.

Sam

He's protecting me.

Sam

He likes me!

Don't be cute.

Sam

He's my knight in shining armor.

Don't talk about knights around Mark. it's a sore subject.

I'm gonna kill that mother****er.

Pun intended?

You know that point in your life when you realize that the house that you grew up in isn't really your home anymore? All of the sudden even though you have some place where you can put your shit that idea of home is gone.

Sam

I still feel at home in my house.

You'll see when you move out. It just sort of happens one day, one day and it's just gone. And you can never get it back. It's like you get homesick for a place that doesn't exist. I don't know maybe it's like this right of passage, you know. You won't have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for you kids, for the family you start. It's like a cycle or something. I miss the idea of it. Maybe that's all family really is. A group of people who miss the same imaginary place.

You're a cop, Kenny?

Kenny

Yeah, I know.

Kenny

I don't know, man. Had nothing better to do. Plus, the benefits are great, you know? If I get shot on the job, I'm like, ummmm... rich!

But Kenny, the last time I saw you, you were doing coke lines off a urinal.

Kenny

I know, I know, man... but it was time for me to grow up, you know? Plus, I wasn't making shit at that fish market. No one knew who I was. I couldn't get laid. Yeah, it's a much better situation for me now.

Diego

Raise your hand if you just saw some titties

Diego
[Mark, Largeman and Sam raise their hands tentatively]

Ok. Now everybody calm the **** down!

Kenny

Your mom just died! ..... I mean, that's why you're home.

Oh, you mean Gymnastics Tina? How did she do it?

I don't know. She isn't Jewish, I didn't bury her.

Karl Benson

I think it was painkillers. Or that car in the garage thing.

Oh, guys, don't stay in here all day. I had to take the batteries out of the carbon monoxide detector. It was beeping all night.

Dr. Cohen

You know, our bodies are capable of doing some very funny things when they're consumed by stress and anxiety. I found my ex-best friend's cufflinks in my wife's purse. I couldn't get an erection for a year and a half...for example.

Tim

By the way, it says "Balls" on your face.

[to Mark]

Asshole.

My mom did it.

Jesse

Dude, maybe you should stay over by the steps. I don't know CPR.

You look like a wet beaver.

Diego

Who just saw some titties?

Diego
[Mark, Largeman and Sam raise their hands tentatively]

Ok. Now everybody calm the **** down!

Rude Girl Customer

I'll have a Ketel Cosmo, with Red Bull, and some bread, ASAP.

We don't have bread.

Rude Girl Customer

What do you mean you don't have bread, how can you not have bread?

We're a Vietnamese restaurant. We just don't have bread.

Rude Girl Customer

Well, you're not Vietnamese.

No, I'm not.

Rude Girl Customer

Can I have something to chew on? ****, bamboo! Whatever!

I'll see what I can find.

Sam

Well, don't try anything funny, 'cause my uncle's a bounty hunter and he can have you tracked and killed.

You're such a liar.

Mark's Mom: Don't be shy, Tim, tell them what you said to me last night.

Tim

No...

Tell us what you said to her last night!

Tim
[In Klingon]

Kiteeki maru, al fooksu.

You have got to be kidding me.
Mark's Mom: It means "I like to mate after battle."

Tim

That isn't what I said.
Mark's Mom: Yeah...

Tim

NO, that isn't the one I said! This one means "Kill Kirk".... and also, "hallelujah", depending on the context...
