Danny McGavin: Is 21st street on our list?
Bob Hodges: Nah. Poor fuckers are professional victims. Get their ass kicked constantly. Kind of a mixed gang. You got Diamond street there, the ville, and the projects on the west so they gotta fight their way in and fight their way out.
Danny McGavin: They're fucked, huh?

Bob Hodges: You wanna look at pussy or learn about this job?
Danny McGavin: Not yet.

Harry Hogge: Cole, you're wandering all over the track.
Cole Trickle: Yeah, well this son of a bitch just slammed into me.
Harry Hogge: No, no, he didn't slam you, he didn't bump you, he didn't nudge you... he rubbed you. And rubbin, son, is racin'.

Harry Hogge: Drivers can't stand to be reminded of what can happen to 'em in a racecar. They, they don't go to hospitals, they don't go to funerals. You get a driver to a funeral before he's actually dead, you've made history, darlin'.

Cole Trickle: Now can you walk, or am I gonna have to carry you?

Beth: You're sick.
William Foster: Sick? You want to see sick? Take a walk around this town, that's sick.
Prendergast: You ain't kidding. Would you believe it that I used to fish right here? This very spot? Now they tell you don't eat the fish, it's poisonous. You can't even swim in the water, it'll give you some kind of bacterial infection. So how's that for sick?
William Foster: I'm having a private moment with my family. We'd like to be left alone.
Prendergast: I'm leaving soon. I'm retiring to Arizona, Lake Havasu City. You ever been there?
William Foster: That's not what I mean!
Prendergast: They call it a lake but it's really just a big bowl of muddy water. But the wife thinks it's paradise. Everybody has their own idea what they think paradise is. Take me, for instance. You know what I thought Paradise was?
William Foster: What?
Prendergast: If you'll excuse me, making babies. Ain't that a kick? Making babies. This your little girl? Beautiful! She's special.

Howard: Well, maybe if you came home more than once a decade, you'd know crap like that.

Felix Bush: There are a whole lot of things you don't know. Like what a, ya know, a dog dreams. You can make up a story about him chasing rabbits. But you don't know if there's rabbits in there or not. And he can't tell you now, can he? People don't say what they mean, either, so you don't know anymore about them than you do about that dog's dream.

Felix Bush: I didn't want forgiveness. No. I needed to hold on to what I did, to be sick from it every day of my life.

Felix Bush: Buy a ticket, son. Tell a story.

Felix Bush: They keep talking about forgiveness. "Ask Jesus for forgiveness." I never did nothing to him.
