  • Joe : [gleefully]  Rome wasn't burned in a night.

  • Joe : [wearing sunglasses at night with two other members of the Pharoh's gang]  Whadaya doin' creep?

    Curt Henderson : Who, me?

    Joe : No, I'm talkin' to the other fifty creeps here. You know Gil Gonzales?

    Curt Henderson : Gil Gonzales? No. No, I don't.

    Joe : Don't know Gil huh? Well you oughta. He's a friend of ours and that's his car you got your butt parked on.

  • Curt Henderson : You know Toby Juarez? Toby Juarez, he's a Pharaoh isn't he?

    Joe : Toby Juarez? Sure, we know Toby. We killed him last night. Tied him to a car and dragged him.

  • Joe : [waves for Curt to come over]  Get down! OK now, you got it? I'm staying here, you're on your own.

    Curt Henderson : Wait a minute, wait a minute, Joe... wait a minute. What if he hears me?

    Joe : Shhh. Listen, listen! Look at it this way. Now, you got three choices. One, you chicken out and in that case I let Ants tie you to the car and drag you around a little bit and you don't want that. Right?

    Curt Henderson : No.

    Joe : Two, you foul up and Holstein hears you and, well uh... you don't want that, right?

    Curt Henderson : No, I don't.

    Joe : Three, you are successful and you join the Pharaohs with a car coat and a blood initiation and all that, huh?

    [Joe pats Curt on the shoulder and runs back to the car] 

    Curt Henderson : What? Wait a minute, wait a minute! What blood initiation?

  • Joe : There's that badass Chevy again. Look at the snatch he's got with him.

    Ants : Hey, man, he looks like a wimp.

    Curt Henderson : Probably is. Wimps get all the snatch.

    Carlos : Milner ain't gonna beat that. His time has come. He's getting old. He ain't as fast as he used to be.

  • Joe : Listen, eh, Carl.

    Curt Henderson : Curt.

    Joe : Curt!

    Curt Henderson : Curt.

    Joe : Despite you scratching Gil's car, I like you. And I know what you'd like more than anything right now. Like every guy in town, you got the same secret dream, right? You want to be a Pharaoh. Huh? Go ahead, you can admit it.

  • Joe : Hey, where ya goin?

    Curt Henderson : Ah, nowhere.

    Joe : Ya must be going someplace. I mean ya left here, didn't ya?

  • Carlos : You tell her, Wolfman! He's my man. When I graduate, I'm gonna be a Wolfman. Hey, you know he broadcasts out of Mexico someplace?

    Joe : No, he don't. I seen the station right outside of town.

    Carlos : That's just a clearing station, man. So he can fool the cops. He blasts that thing all the way around the world. It's against the law, man.

    Ants : Ah, man, they'll never catch the Wolfman.

    Carlos : No way.

  • Curt Henderson : Hey, any of you guys know a blonde in a white T-Bird?

    Joe : Yeah, I know her, what about it?

    Curt Henderson : I'm trying to find out, you know, who she is.

    Joe : She's outta your price range, man. My brother's been out with her. He clued me in.

    Curt Henderson : Price range? Are you trying to tell me that she's a prostitute?

    Joe : That's right. She's a thirty dollar Sheri. Jesus, can you imagine that? Thirty bucks for that broad.

    Curt Henderson : We got to be thinking about two different broads.

  • Joe : [to Curt]  You better comes with us and take a ride with the Pharaohs, huh?

  • Mr. Gordon : Hey, what are you punks doing? What's going on here?

    Joe : I'm just uh...

    Curt Henderson : Oh, hi, Mr. Gordon. What's up?
