    1. Doyle Hargraves: [shouting] We don't got no Goddamn band! We don't need to fucking practice, Randy! We don't no shit-ass manager neither! You motherfuckers! You all are a bunch of losers! I'm the only sane son-of-a-bitch here! So get the *fuck* out of my house now!
    2. Vaughan Cunningham: It's not your house, Doyle, it's Linda's.
    3. Doyle Hargraves: I'll whip the dog shit out of you, Vaughan. I will [shouts] fucking kill you if you talk to me again!
