7 quotes Pappas Pappas I'm so hungry I could eat the ass end out of a dead rhino, I should have had you get me three of these things!
Pappas Reagan usually does the driving. Stolen switch car. They leave it running... on the curb. It look sparked from the distance. When they run they dump the vehicle and they vanish... like a virgin on prom night. I mean they vanish, swishh...

Speak into the microphone, squid brain!
Pappas This Calvin and Hobbes is funny!
Pappas Welcome to Sea World, Kid.

Special agent Utah. This is not some job flipping burgers at the local drive-in! Yes! - your surfboard bothers me! Yes! - your approach to this whole goddamn case bothers me! And yes! - YOU BOTHER ME!!! And Pappas! Oh, for the love of Christ. How the hell did I even let you talk me into this whole bone-headed idea to begin with?!
Pappas Harp! We are working under-cover. It takes time. We've produced a few...
NO, no, no, no, no-no-no-NO! Let me tell you what you've produced... Over the last two weeks, you two have produced exactly SQUAT! SQUAT!!! During which time the Ex-Presidents have robbed two more banks!! Now for Christ's sake, does either one of you have anything even remotely interesting to tell me?
Goddammit! [pushes them both out]
Pappas Let me tell you something, Harp. I was in this bureau while you were still popping zits on your funny face and jacking off to the lingerie section of the Sears catalog. But there's something I've learned in all my years...
Why don't you astonish me, shitbrains.
Pappas [Pappas punches Harp]
Respect for my elders!
Diving Instructor
Heads up, Pappas. I want to see you retrieve at least two bricks.
Pappas [puts on blindfold]
I've been on the job for over 20 years, and I fail to see what fishing bricks from the bottom of a pool has got to do with bank robbery. And on top of that, they got me babysitting some quarterback punk, named Johnny Unitas or something.
The shit they pull, huh?
Pappas Yeah!
Diving Instructor
Pappas... meet your new partner.
Pappas What?
[removes blindfold]
[waves]
Pappas Pappas. Angelo Pappas.
Punk. Quarterback Punk.
DEA Agent Deets You think you're real cowboys, huh? Batman and Robin, huh! You know what this is? You know what this is, punk? This is two kilos, uncut, crystal meth!
Pappas Awwwww, Shit!
Special agent, Utah! I like you to meet Agent Deets. He was working deep cover until...
DEA Agent Deets [Interrupts]
You think I like this hair, man! You think I like these clothes? My wife wants me to stay at Ramanda! I've been working on these ****ers for THREE MONTHS! THREE MONTHS! Now I finally got them to play wheel of fortune with me so I could find out who their suppliers is. Then you ****in' cowboys show up!
Pappas Nice tattoo, Deets!
DEA Agent Deets Oh, you like that Pappas, huh? **** you!
Pappas Jesus!
DEA Agent Deets All I wanna know, smart guy! All I wanna know is how these guys could be robbin' Tarzana City National on August 2nd when they were in Fort ****in' Lauderdale August 2nd? Why don't you figure that out, huh?
That's not an easy thing to do, is it, Utah?
DEA Agent Deets [Slams bags of meth into Utah's chest]
****in' jerks!
Pappas Listen - forget about it, kid. They are ghosts.
Yeah, of course. What am I thinking? If you couldn't crack it with all your years of experience, it's impossible to conceive that I might have something to offer, right? Well, maybe I can do better than some over-the-hill burnout.
Pappas Watch your mouth.
Maybe you just ought to take some early retirement right now, and take some rent-a-cop night security job, tell Nam stories--
Pappas Listen, you snot-nosed little shit! I was takin' shrapnel in Khe Sanh when you were crappin' in your hands and rubbin' it on your face!
You mad?
Pappas Yeah, I'm mad!
YOU MAD?!
Pappas Yeah, I'm mad! Whatcha gonna do about it?!
Feels good, doesn't it? Like you're still alive, right?!
Pappas YEAH!
Well, since you're still alive, and you're not in the box just yet, why don't you tell me this theory of yours and we'll go get these guys?!
Pappas [sighs, calming down]
Okay... hotshot. You want to nail the bank-robbers and be a big hero?
Definitely.
Pappas Definitely.
Pappas [of Johnny, after the last robbery]
Don't ride him in with the black and whites like some punk, let me ride him in.
Yeah sure, Angelo, why not? That is why I put you 2 screw-ups to begin with. You deserve each other, don't you? You're just as bad as he is, though you're a little fatter, a little slower and a little more pathetic. For Christ sake, it's like the blind leading the blind with you.
Pappas Harp, I want to tell you something. I was in this bureau when you were still popping zits on your funny face and jerking off with the lingerie section of the Sears catalog.
Is that right, Pappas?
Pappas Yes, that's right "Harp", and out of all these years, I have learned something that you still haven't got.
Yeah? Why don't you astonish me, shitface?
Pappas [punches Harp in the face]
Respect for my elders.
