Are you eating it or is it eating you?

Fletcher:	Let go of it, Mr. Rutherford. You can't stop it.
David "Moe" Rutherford:	I can shut you down.
Fletcher:	(laughs) - I don't know. I really don't know. I don't think anybody would pay too much attention to a disreputable guy like you. You're a rogue; you're a crook in the pay of the ice cream companies just out trying to screw the competition.
David "Moe" Rutherford:	I could always kill you.

David "Moe" Rutherford:

That stuff comes right out of the center of the Earth and straight into our supermarkets.

Chocolate Chip Charlie:	How many times am I supposed to tell you my hands are lethal weapons?

David "Moe" Rutherford:	Okay, lethal hands, kill the door.
Chocolate Chip Charlie:	Watch out for splinters.

David "Moe" Rutherford:

Well, everybody has to eat shaving cream once in a while.

David "Moe" Rutherford:	You're Chocolate Chip Charlie!
Chocolate Chip Charlie:	Well, I sure as hell ain't the Kentucky Colonel!

David "Moe" Rutherford:	Did you find anything out?
Chocolate Chip Charlie:	What you gonna find out, man, in a town that has just dried up and blown away, man? ...Must be a side effect of eating too much dessert; an urge to migrate.
Chocolate Chip Charlie:	What you gonna find out, man, in a town that has just dried up and blown away, man? Must be a side effect of eating too much dessert; an urge to migrate.

David "Moe" Rutherford:

The name's Mo Rutherford. They call me that 'cause when people give me money, I always want mo'.

David "Moe" Rutherford:

No one is as dumb as I appear to be.

David "Moe" Rutherford:	What do you think, Charlie?
Chocolate Chip Charlie:	The man is not in proper operating order.
David "Moe" Rutherford:	Absolutely.
Chocolate Chip Charlie:	I'd like to take him someplace and get him X-rayed.
David "Moe" Rutherford:	Yeah, but what if he doesn't wanna come along with us?
Chocolate Chip Charlie:	We snatch him.
David "Moe" Rutherford:	Oh, now, Charlie, I run a high-tech operation. I don't go in for things like that.
Chocolate Chip Charlie:	I got a few low-tech solutions for our problem. We hit that sucker over the head.
David "Moe" Rutherford:	Oh, well, ummm...we could do that.
David "Moe" Rutherford:	Oh, well, ummm, we could do that.
Chocolate Chip Charlie:	We throw him in the trunk of the car.
David "Moe" Rutherford:	We could do that, too.
Chocolate Chip Charlie:	And we take off.
David "Moe" Rutherford:	In whose car?
