  Howie : L.I.E. Long Island Expressway. You got the lanes going east, and you got the lanes going west. And you also got the lanes going straight to hell. Lot of people died on it. Harry Chapin, Alan Pakula, the movie director. Sylvia Blitzer, my mom. But I'm not gonna let it get me.

• Howie : On the Long Island Expressway there are lanes going east, lanes going west, and lanes going straight to hell.

• Counselor : Just so you know, I know you're different, okay.

  Howie : Different ?

  Counselor : You're not a nerd, you're not a jock, you're not a scholar or a romeo.

  Howie : Or a gangsta.

  Counselor : Or a clown.

  Howie : So what am I then ?

  Counselor : You are a Howie Blitzer.

  Howie : My own category, wow.

  Howie : L.I.E. Long Island Expressway. You got the lanes going east, and you got the lanes going west. And you also got the lanes going straight to hell. Lot of people died on it. Harry Chapin, Alan Pakula, the movie director. You probably heard of them. But you never heard of Sylvia Blitzer, my mom. She died on a crash on Exit 52. I really miss her. It's taken a lot of people and I hope it doesn't get me.

• Howie : You fuckin' arrogant prick!

• Howie : [sitting in police station waiting room]  What if no one comes for me?

  Desk Sergeant : [distracted]  What?

  Howie : What if no one comes for me?

  Desk Sergeant : [smirks]  I guess we'll have to put you in jail then.
