• Jamie Blake : I just want to thank you for informin' them about us back in Missouri. You know, how we're flashers and sex maniacs.

  J.J. McClure : Well, I was just repayin' you for what you and the chocolate monk did back in Ohio.

  Fenderbaum : Chocolate monk?

  Jamie Blake : He can say that. Yeah, he can say that 'cause he's ridin' around with the Goodyear Blimp!

  J.J. McClure : [Looking at Vic]  He can say that. He can say that 'cause if I had the time, I'd take those rosary beads and shove 'em up your nose.

  Jamie Blake : These rosary beads? Up this nose?

  J.J. McClure : Yeah.

  Jamie Blake : Will ya take a little advice? Bring friends.

  Fenderbaum : Ha! Lots of em!

• Fenderbaum : [Fenderbaum and Blake's Ferrari drives alongside J.J.'s ambulance]  Pull over! We want to give you our blessing!

  Victor Prinsi : J.J., there are two priests in that car. They want us to pull over.

  J.J. McClure : Victor, that's two priests driving a Ferrari. When's the last time you saw two priests drive a Ferrari? What are they doing, taking home the bingo money?

  Victor Prinsi : No, they're doing the work of the Lord. In a Ferrari, they can just do it faster.

  Fenderbaum : A Lamborghini!

  Jamie Blake : She in the race?

  Fenderbaum : CATCH IT!
