Quotes 

• [Louie has just brought in a Pac-Man video game into the garage, and is explaining to Jim about the game] 

  Louie De Palma : You see this yellow circle? See? What you need to do, is move it around with this stick, and eat up all the dots.

  Reverend Jim Ignatowski : [starting forward; excited]  Oh!

  Louie De Palma : [stopping him]  Wait, wait! There's more!

  Reverend Jim Ignatowski : [amazed]  MORE?

  Louie De Palma : Yes! More! You see those monsters? These monsters chase you around the maze and they try to eat you.

  Reverend Jim Ignatowski : [eyes bugging out]  WHOA!

  Louie De Palma : [struggling to hold the excited Jim back]  Iggy, Iggy... easy now, you see- you see those flashing blue lights? Those are energizers, if you eat them, the- the monsters turn blue and if you eat them... you get points for eating them!

  Reverend Jim Ignatowski : [shaking Louie, unable to control his enthusiasm]  Please, boss! Please! Please!

  Louie De Palma : [still struggling to hold Jim back]  Boy! I love his enthusiasm!

• Reverend Jim Ignatowski : I don't know why I play this game. Throbbing noises. Flashing lights. Monsters chasing you. I get enough of that in real life.
