A line from Richard Hayden

It's called reading, you know, top to bottom, left to right. A group of words together is called a sentence. Take Tylenol for any headaches, Midol for any cramps.

Richard Hayden
[After watching Tommy wolf down fries and squirt ketchup into his mouth]

Ugh! I could just hear you getting fatter .

Richard Hayden

It's the next town, tons-of-fun. It's got to be there. Okay, where's Moron? Okay, Moron's here, so McKeesport...

Richard Hayden

Okay, folks, the guy in front of you is Tommy. He'll be taking you through my little spiel here. Tommy is a Scorpio, he likes biking, and he's never been laid. Exits, okay, there's one back here, and there's uh, probably one over by the wing somewhere, usually. And what about seatbelts? To fasten, take the little end stick it in the big end and... hey, know what? If you guys don't know how to use a seat belt, just ring your call button, and Tommy will come back there and hit you on the head with a tack hammer because you are a ****. Okay, and life preservers, these... we may need. Although what are the odds of us actually hitting a lake? My money says if anything, it's gonna be a mountain.

Richard Hayden

He's a big, dumb animal, isn't he folks?

Richard Hayden

Ugh, why do you always have to de-turd these things? Look at this one, caught him after Thanksgiving feast, I think I'm gonna need a pooperscooper.

Richard Hayden

Ugh, I just barfed on an anthill. Cool. Ugh, I think they're pissed.

Young Richard

Late again, Tommy. You're pathetic.

Young Tommy

Shut up, Richard!

[Tommy gets off the airplane]

Richard Hayden!

Richard

Tommy.

Where's my Dad? I thought he was supposed to pick me up at the airport?

Richard

He was at the airport this morning, but you weren't on the plane.

He said he had a surprise for me.

Richard

Maybe. I guess that's why you should've called.

I did call...earlier...or, later.

Richard

Really? What number did you call?

Two...four...niner...five, six seven...

Richard

I can't hear you, you're trailing off and did I hear a niner in there? Were you calling from a walkie-talkie?

No, it was cordless.

Did you hear I finally graduated.

Richard

Yah, and just a shade under a decade too. All right.

You know a lot of people who go to college for seven years.

Richard

I know. They're called doctors.

Richard
[Tommy spills M&M's all over the dashboard]

Oh, that sounds good. Melted chocolate inside the dash, that really ups the resale value.

I think you'll be okay here, they have a thin candy shell. Surprised you didn't know that.

Richard

I think your brain has a thick candy shell.

Your... Your brain has the shell on it.

Richard

Are you talking?

Shut up, Richard.

Richard

All right, now it's sale time, so remember, we don't take no -

No shit from anyone!

Richard

No.

Um, we don't take no prisoners!

Richard

We don't take no for answer.

Oh yeah.

Gas Station Employee

I'm picking up your sarcasm.

Richard

Well, I should hope so, because I'm laying it on pretty thick.

Hey, I'll tell you what. You can get a good look at a butcher's ass by sticking your head up there. But, wouldn't you rather to take his word for it?

Mr. Brady
[confused]

What? I'm failing to make the connection here.

No, what I mean is, you can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking your head up a butcher's ass... No, wait. It's gotta be your bull.

Richard

Wow...

Mr. Brady

Boy, I'm at a loss for words here -

Forget it, I quit, I can't do this any more, man. My head's about to explode. My whole life sucks. I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know where I'm going. My dad just died, we just killed Bambi, I'm out here getting my ass kicked and every time I drive down the road I wanna jerk the wheel into a goddamned bridge abutment!

Richard

We'll keep in touch.

Richard

Hey, I was just thinking. When we stopped for gas this morning I think it was you who put the oil in.

Hey if you're going to say I didn't put the right kind in, you're wrong. I used 10-W-30. And besides, motor oil would have nothing to do with this accident.

Richard

True. But you can't latch the hood too well, if you don't take the can out, you no-selling waste of space, I swear to God, you're worthless!

Richard
[Richard knocks on the door, impersonating the maid, while Tommy tries to sleep.]

Housekeeping?

No thank you. Sleeping.

Richard

Housekeeping?

Come back in an hour.

Richard

Housekeeping, you want towel?

No towels. Need sleepy.

Richard

Housekeeping, you want mint for pillow?

Please go away let me sleep FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

Richard

Housekeeping, you want me jerk you off?

[Tommy gets out of bed and opens the door.]

What kinda hotel is this?... Oh, it's you.

Richard

Good morning, sunshine. Yikes.

Reservationist

Oh, I can reserve you a flight coming *back* from Chicago at 5:55. Does that help?

Richard

Hi, I'm Earth. Have we met?

Reservationist

I don't think so.

[gets off the airplane]

Richard Hayden!

Richard

Tommy.

Where's my Dad? I thought he was supposed to pick me up at the airport?

Richard

He was at the airport this morning, but you weren't on the plane.

He said he had a surprise for me.

Richard

Maybe. I guess that's why you should've called.

I did call, earlier, when... using the phone.

Richard

Earlier? When was that?

Er... later... When, when then I, I left a message.

Richard

A message? What number did you call?

Two... four.. niner... five, six seven...

Richard

I can't hear you, you're trailing off. And did I hear a "niner" in there? Were you calling from a walkie-talkie?

No, it was cordless.

Richard

You know what? Don't. Not here, not now.

Did you hear I finally graduated.

Richard

Yeah, and just a shade under a decade too. All right.

Hey, you know a lot of people go to college for seven years.

Richard

I know. They're called doctors. [looks behind Tommy as his luggage comes out] Oh, that has to be you.

Richard

You spray that thing for bugs?

Richard

Mr. Callahan, I'm going to need your John Hancock on these papers.

John Hancock, haha. It's Herbie Hancock.
