In this life, it's not what you hope for, it's not what you deserve - it's what you take.

Do you think they're your friends? They're not your friends. Do you really think she'll be there when things go bad? Huh? When things go wrong? You think again. **** Denise. Denise the piece. Oh, you're gonna give me that cherry pie sweet mama baby.

I will drop-kick those ****in' dogs if they come near me.

Earl. You don't look that bad. You prick. "****." That's what you used to like to say, right? "****." But you are a ****, Earl. It hurts, doesn't it? Huh? You in a lot of pain? She was in a lot of pain. Right to the end, she was in a lot of pain. I know because I, I was there, Earl. You didn't like illness, though, did you? I was there. She waited for your call. For you to come. I am not going to cry. I am not going to cry for you! You ****, I know you can hear me. I want you to know that I hate your **** guts. You can just **** die, you ****. And I hope it hurts, I **** hope it hurts. Why didn't you call? I **** hate you. Goddamn you, you **** asshole. Oh, God, you **** asshole. Don't go away, you **** asshole! Oh, God, don't go away, you **** asshole!

Frank T.J. Mackey

Respect the ****! And tame the ****! Tame it! Take it on headfirst with the skills that I will teach you at work and say no! You will not control me! No! You will not take my soul! No! You will not win this game! Because it's a game, guys. You want to think it's not, huh? You want to think it's not? Go back to the schoolyard and you have that crush on big-titted Mary Jane. Respect the ****. You are embedding this thought. I am the one who's in charge. I am the one who says yes! No! Now! Here! Because it's universal, man. It is evolutional. It is anthropological. It is biological. It is animal. We... are... men! [simulating sexual thrusting]
