  Julie : Want what?

  Jimmy : Love.

  Julie : Why? Do you love me?

  Jimmy : No, I'm in love with a girl called Carol. I love your...

  Julie : My what?

  Jimmy : Your pussy.

  Julie : How do you know that?

  Jimmy : Of all the different kinds of pussy in the world; soft, hot, gravel, velvet, cold, wet, big, small, there's only one kind I can feel in my blood on sight. And that's silk, which is yours.

• Jimmy Fingers : Excuse me. I got a phone call this morning. A voice said to come here and look for a girl on the phone. She'll be the girl of your dreams. 5'5', dark hair, blue eyes. She's wearing a dusty rose bikini and her name is Julie.

  Julie : Well, you made a mistake. I'm 5'6'.

• Restaurant patron : [annoyed]  Hey, waiter! Tell this character to turn his radio off!

  Jimmy Fingers : What are you tellin' him for? Tell me!

  Restaurant patron : All right, I'm tellin' ya - turn it off!

  Jimmy Fingers : [with incredulity]  Do you believe this? This is the Jamies, man! "Summertime, Summertime!" - the most musically inventive song of 1958! What are you eating? Shrimp? Are you gonna tell me this song doesn't go with your shrimp?

• Doctor Fry : [putting on a long rubber glove]  Relax. All I'm gonna do is slip a finger in.

  Jimmy Fingers : [taking it out and inserting it into his boom box]  Are you kidding? I'm meeting you for lunch, right?

  Ben : Well, put it on, kid. I never understand you. Either it's got to be a 900 year old Kraut or 5 niggers with squeaky voices.

  Luchino : You deaf? No slice pizza! Take it on the arches!

• Jimmy Fingers : Don't you understand? I'm going to bring you into dreams of yourself. All you have to do is believe in me.

  Carol : What? You're so full of shit!
