What's our job? We like drive around and pickup stiffs, or what? Is that what we are suppose to do?

Wanna know why I carry this tape recorder? To tape things. See, I'm an idea man, Chuck. I got ideas coming at me all day... I couldn't even fight 'em off if I wanted. Wait a second... hold the phone! Hold the phone! [speaking into tape recorder] Idea to eliminate garbage. Edible paper. You eat it, it's gone! You eat it, it's outta there! No more garbage!

Bill Blazejowski

So there I was at the Blackjack table with all my wash 'n' dries... did I tell you I had they idea for them first?

We're all adults here - we can talk about this openly... [writing on chalkboard] PROSTITUTION! But what does that mean really? Sometimes it helps to understand a word if you break it down, so let's do that now shall we? Pros... it doesn't mean anything, you can forget about that... Tit, I think we all know what that means, Tu, two tit and TION of course, from the Latin to shun... to say uh-uh no thank you anyway I don't want it, to push away... it doesn't even belong in this word really.

Bill Blazejowski

I wash my hands and my feet of you!

What if you mix...mayonnaise right in the can with the tuna fish? Hold it! Hold it! Wait a minute! Chuck! Take live tuna fish...and feed them mayonnaise. Oh this is good. [speaks into tape recorder] Call StarKist.

What are we really talking about here? Huh? What's the essence of what we're talking about? Spell it out for you if I have to. [writing on chalkboard] PROSTITUTION! Prostitution. Yeah, we can say it. We're big kids now, right? You know a lot of times it'll help you to understand a word if you break it down, so let’s do that now, shall we? PROS... it doesn't mean anything. Forget about that... TIT, I think we all know what that means. TU, kay two tit and TION, of course, from the Latin to shun... to say no, uh-uh, thank you anyway I don't want it, to push away... it doesn't even belong in this word really, so let's get rid of that.

Chuck

I used to be an investment counselor.

It's like a stockbroker.

You tellin' me to shut up?

As we sit here and idly chat, there are woman, female human beings, rolling around in strange beds with strange men, and we are making money from that.

Is this a great country, or what?

Bill

Chuck, come on - it looks bad in front of the other guys!

Chuck

So what am I running for, cell president?

Bill

No!... they have that?

Belinda

Bill, Bill, are you all right? Did you break anything, Bill?

Bill

I caught an updraft.

Chuck

Are you ok?

Bill

Yeah, I'm all right, don't worry, I'm all right, fortunately the ground broke my fall.
