• Stan : [holding a cup of tea]  Stu, what does it remind you of when you hold it next to your cheek?

  Stu : [taking the cup and placing it to his cheek]  Not a damn thing but hot air.

  Stan : Didn't it remind you of when you're making love and a woman 'fore it gets sometimes? Just like this?

  Stu : Maybe so. I don't go for women who got malaria.

• Stan : Man, I ain't poor. Look, I give away things to the Salvation Army; you can't give away nothin' to Salvation Army if you poor. I mean, we may not have a damn thing sometimes - you wanna see somebody that's poor? Now, you go around and look at Walters. Now, he be sittin' over a oven, and, and with nothin' but a coat on, and, and sittin' around there rubbin' their knees all day and eatin' nothin' but wild greens picked out of a vacant lot. Now, that ain't me... and damn sure won't be.

• Stan's Daughter : Daddy, what makes it rain?

  Stan : Why it's the devil beating his wife.
