Stuntman Mike : [Stuntman Mike and Pam are in his death-proof car, but Pam is in the passenger-seat which is in a crash-box] Well, Pam... Which way you going, left or right?
Pam : [enthusiastic] Right!
Stuntman Mike : Oh, that's too bad...
[ominous sound effect]
Pam : Why?
Stuntman Mike : Because it was a 50-50 shot on whether you'd be going left or right. You see we're BOTH going left. You could have just as easily been going left, too. And if that was the case... It would have been a while before you started getting scared. But since you're going the other way, I'm afraid you're gonna have to start getting scared... immediately!

Stuntman Mike : You know, a bar offers all kind of things other than alcohol.
Pam : Hmm. Really? Like what?
Stuntman Mike : Women, nacho grande platters, the fellowships of fascinating individuals like Warren here. Alcohol is just a lubricant for all the individual encounters that a bar offers.

Stuntman Mike : [about Jungle Julia] What did she ever do to you?
Pam : We went to school together from kindergarten through high school. That's what she did to me. She was her height right now at 12. She was a monster. Half the guys she still fucks she used to terrorize in the fifth grade.
Stuntman Mike : And she used to beat you up and take your chocolate milk, huh?
Pam : That pituitary case? Might have kicked my ass a couple of times... sorry, I'm built like a girl, not a black man...

Pam : [seeing his car] Wow, that's fucking scary.
Stuntman Mike : Yeah, well, I wanted it to be impressive and... scary tends to impress.
Pam : Is it safe?
Stuntman Mike : No, it's better than safe. It's death-proof.
Pam : How do you make a car death-proof?
Stuntman Mike : Well, that's what stuntmen do. You've seen a movie where a car gets into some smash-up there ain't no way in hell anybody's walking away from?
Pam : Yeah.
Stuntman Mike : Well, how do you think they accomplish that?
Pam : CGI?
Stuntman Mike : Well, unfortunately, Pam, nowadays more often than not, you 're right. Tsk. But back in the all-or-nothin' days. Vanishing Point days, the Dirty Mary Crazy Larry days, the White Line Fever days... real cars smashing into real cars. Real dumb people driving 'em. So, give the stunt team the car you want to smash up, they take her and reinforce that fucker everywhere and, voila! You got yourself a death-proof automobile.
Pam : That makes sense. I just didn't know you could make a car death-proof.
Stuntman Mike : Well, I can drive this baby into a brick wall doing 125 miles an hour. Just for the experience.
Pam : Why is your passenger seat in a box?
