Frank:
I've walked a white line my entire life, I'm not about to screw that up.
Nada: White line's in the middle of the road, that's the worst place to drive.
Nada: Brother, life's a bitch... and she's back in heat.
Nada: I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum.
Frank: The Golden Rule: He who has the gold, makes the rules.
Street Preacher: This world may have blinded me, but the Lord has let me see.
Nada: I don't like this one bit. Not one bit.
Nada: Wooo. It's like a drug. Wearing these glasses gets you high, but you come down hard.
Nada: You see, I take these glasses off, she looks like a regular person, doesn't she? Put 'em back on...
[puts them back on]
Nada: ...formaldehyde-face!
Nada: Put the glasses on! PUT 'EM ON!
[Nada and Frank start fist-fighting]
Nada: I'm giving you a choice: either put on these glasses or start eatin' that trash can.
Frank: Not this year.
Nada: OK. All right. OK.
[starts fighting with Frank]
[Nada and Frank are fighting, and Nada, trying to get up, tries to grab Frank's testicles]
Frank: You dirty motherfucker!
Nada: You, you're ok. This one, real fuckin' ugly.
Nada: You... you look like your face fell in the cheese dip back in 1957.
Street Preacher: Outside the limit of our sight, feeding off us, perched on top of us, from birth to death, are our owners! Our owners! They have us. They control us! They are our masters! Wake up! They're all about you! All around you!
Gilbert: The world needs a wake up call gentlemen... we're gonna phone it in.
Bearded Man: We could be pets, we could be food, but all we really are is livestock.
Nada: Mama don't like tattletales.
Drifter: What's wrong with having it good for a change? Now they're gonna let us have it good if we just help 'em. They're gonna leave us alone, let us make some money. You can have a little taste of that good life too. Now I know you want it, hell everybody does.
Frank: You'd do it to your own kind.
Drifter: What's the threat? We all sell out every day, might as well be on the winning team.
Nada: That's like pouring perfume on a pig.
Television Host: The feeling is definitely there. It's a new morning in America... fresh, vital. The old cynasism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We're optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don't need pessimism. There are no limits.
Rich Lady: [into her alien watch/transmiter] I've got one that can see!
Frank: Listen man, i don't like anyone following me if i don't know why they are?
Nada: Well I don't join up with anyone, unless i know where they're going.
Nada: [seeing politician on tv for the first time] Ha, figures it'd be something like this.
Frank: [picks up Nada] Man, I told you, I don't want to be in-VOLVED!
[punches Nada back to the ground]
Nada: And who are you, little fella? Come to show 'em where I am, huh? Not nice!
Nada: I got news for 'em. There's gonna be hell to pay. 'Cause I ain't Daddy's little boy no more.
