Dave

And then one day, my wife turned into this remarkable creature that could sit on the end of a broomstick and take off. She could actually achieve flight.

Wally

I think I was married to that woman once.

Dave

Small world.

Hotel Clerk

Dr. Kesselring, we thought you wouldn't make it, did you have trouble with your visa?

Dave

Yes, and then suddenly they excepted American Express.

Wally

Yes, don't go home without it.

Okay, no more bullshit. [to Dave, talking fast] Was there or wasn't there a woman?

Dave

Are you serious?

Yes, I'm goddamn serious.

Dave

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a woman?

What the hell is he talking about?

Wally

He reads lips. You're talking too fast.

[to Dave, talking slowly]

Was there... a wom-an... pres-ent?

Dave
[to Captain Braddock, talking slowly]

Yes. There was... a wom-an... pres-ent.

[to Wally]

Why is he talking like that?

Wally
[to Captain Braddock, talking slowly]

Because he's deaf... not stu-pid.

Dave

Who are you talking to?

Wally

I'm talking to you, you prick.

Dave

Why don't you look me in the eye and say that?

Wally

I would if I could but I can't, I'm blind.

Dave

You're blind?

Wally

Yes, I'm blind. What are you, **** deaf?

Dave

YES! I'M **** DEAF!

Wally

You're really deaf?

Dave

I'm really deaf.

Wally

Then how do you know what I'm saying?

Dave

Because I'm reading your lips. Now you want the job or not?

Wally

Where are we?

Dave

Probably on our way to New Jersey by now.

Wally

No kidding! I got family in there! Do you want to come with me?

Dave

Of course. You've earned my trust, Wally. You've been a very good friend to me these past couple days. You're always there for me. You never get me into trouble. Sometimes it seems a bit boring but that's a small price to pay for such a wonderful friendship.

Wally

That's beautiful, Dave. Do you mean everything you just said?

Dave

I'll tell you how I really feel in about a minute or two. Right now, I'm a little overwhelmed by the STINK of the seven tons of garbage that you drove us into!

Wally

Is THAT what it is? I thought you let one go! That's why I didn't say anything!

Dave

That's very kind of you! Thank you!

Adele

I think David got a little messed up.

Dave

What did she say?

Wally

She said she thinks you're an asshole!

Dave
[Dave doesn't hold up any fingers]

How many fingers am I holding up in front of your eyes right now?

Wally

Three!

Dave

That's good. That's pretty good, considering that he's blind.

Wally
[yelling in Dave's ear]

Shazaam! Can you hear me?

Dave

Wally! I heard you! I heard your voice!

Wally

Hooray! You can hear me!

Dave

What?

Wally

You can hear me!

Dave
[shouts]

No, schmuck. I'm deaf! I'm deaf! Now do you get it?

Dave

****-A. Something bothers you, **** it. Your wife leaves you, **** her. Your boss fires you, **** him. ****-A. **** them. Right?

Wally

You're **** right!

Dave

It's a gift to be able to do that.

Dave

Wally! He could put a hole through your *head*, Wally!

Wally

****** him and his holes!

Dr. Cornfeld

WHO are you, sir?

Dave
[misreading Cornfeld's lips]

Fine, thank you!

Dave
[to Raoul]

Stop right there or I'll throw this knife through your head! I mean it! I throw your brains out!

Cop with Bullhorn
[to Raoul]

Freeze!

Dave
[to Raoul]

That's more like it! Now put your hand up!

Cop with Bullhorn
[to Raoul]

Put your hands in the air!

Dave
[to Raoul]

Oh, so you do speak English!

Reporter

Do you really think you can stop Khomeini?

Dave

Not if it's funny.
