Quotes from Michael Moriarty's Characters
| Henry Wiggen: | From here on, I'll never rag anybody. |
| Henry Wiggen: | From here on in I rag nobody. |
| Henry Wiggen: | Power plus brains is the difference between nobody and somebody. |
| David "Moe" Rutherford: | There nobody here but you? |
| Gas Station Attendant: | Well, don't you wanna wash your hands or something? I put in a new towel! |
| Chocolate Chip Charlie: | The only thing Chocolate Chip Charlie knows better than fighting is running. |
| David "Moe" Rutherford: | Pick a direction! |
| David "Moe" Rutherford: | 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: | You are not thinking about going after it! |
| David "Moe" Rutherford: | I hope you got a gun on you, Charlie! |
| Chocolate Chip Charlie: | How many times am I supposed to tell you my hands are lethal weapons? |
| David "Moe" Rutherford: | I hope you're right, 'cause if that thing tries to kill me, you kill me first! |
| 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? |
