Quotes 

• Leroy : I have to ask you a question... and it's an important one so, I want you to think about the answer before you give it to me. Okay?

  Samantha : Okay

  Leroy : When two people love each other - Really... Love each other - but they just can't get it together, when do you get to that point where enough is enough?

  Samantha : [mouth agape, stunned look, realizing he's talking about her]  Tha?... oh, well... that's... you know... um... you know it's Over when... okay, I have, like, these psychosomatic, insomniatic manifestations of... uh, well here's the thing about me: I'm a product of my emotions, versus being a product of my environment, like HIM, which he is, exactly, just THAT, environmental... uh uh I need sunshine to grow; that's who I am, and uh with the projection of the... I have goals

  [pause, smiles, nods to indicate she's done] 

  Leroy : That's your answer?

  Samantha : Yah

  Leroy : That's not right. I mean, there's a right answer here, but that's not it

  Samantha : [exhales sharply] 

  Leroy : Look, in my business you're surrounded by loneliness, and finality. Now I don't care what your take is on an afterlife, when people die, it's scary. And they go alone. Now the people that I send off, that have experienced love, they're a little less scared. I mean they're still scared, but there's... a calmness to 'em, and I think that comes from the knowledge that somebody, somewhere loved 'em, and cared for 'em, and will miss 'em. Now I see that from time to time, and I am awed by it. I don't think I'd be telling you any of this if it wasn't for Frank. Anyway, it's a loaded question. Look, when two people love each other - Totally, TRUTHfully, all the way Love each other - the answer to that question is simple, especially in your case. When do you get to that point where enough is enough? Never... Never

• Leroy : I know we're all a little grouchy right now. We'll get something to eat, you'll get the pistol and then we'll go our separate ways.

  Samantha : Really separate ways.

  Jerry : Don't start, Sam.

  Samantha : Shut up. I'll start because I have the right...

  Jerry : Why do you do that? Do not tell me to shut up. We had an agreement, remember?

  Samantha : Shut up.

  Leroy : Why don't we all shut up a bit?

  Jerry : I swear to God, I will crash this fucking car right now.

  Leroy : Jerry, don't do that.

  Jerry : I will. One more word out of you. Another word, Sam. One more word. I swear to fucking God.

  Samantha : Naugahyde.

  Jerry : All right.

• Samantha : What was that?

  Leroy : What?

  Samantha : That (points eyes to the right) moment?

  Leroy : "What? What moment...?

  Samantha : ...Are you gay?

  Leroy : As in happy?

  Samantha : As in homosexual...?

  Leroy : What does my sexuality have anything to do with this?

  Samantha : You just checked that guy out and had a 'moment'!

• Leroy : I'm here to regulate funkiness.

• Leroy : Don't you love him?

  Samantha : I think that's the problem. We love each other too much.

• Leroy : Do you want me to rape you?

  Samantha : Are you gay?

  Leroy : Do you want me to rape you?

  Samantha : You are gay.

• Leroy : Kevlar is for pussies

• Leroy : Jerry, I want you to know. You're the craziest fuck I ever met.

• Leroy : A lot of people are under the impression that you get to choose who you love.
