- Billy: Yeah, I got a big story for ya'; we came to town to see a ball game, and now they wanna give us the chair. I love New York. Bring your kids. Have 'em arrested. Do some time in The Big Apple.
- [Jack McDermott sits nude in his room and drinks red wine]
- Jack McDermott: This is the body and blood of our savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. And a damned fine Beaujolais!
- Billy: You guys see Wolfen? They filmed it down here. You know, the movie about those gigantic wolves that come out at night. They eat people and rip their guts open, man, got kinda shit hangin' out of their mouths and stuff. And they would live for an hour or so, just lay there twitching and stuff. They filmed it here because this is exactlly where it happened. It's a true story.
- [Howls]
- Dr. Weitzman: There's about 65,000 seats up at that stadium. But I don't want you to get your hopes up, because they're all screwed down.
- Jack: You told me you played for the New York Rangers.
- Billy: Are you saying I didn't?
- Dr. Weitzman: Attacking a referee on the ice doesn't make you a hockey player either.
- Billy: That guy had no right to be an NHL referee!
- Dr. Weitzman: Although it did get you into our little group, didn't it?
- Jack: Hey Murray, congratulations.
- Murray: What are you talking about?
- Jack: Benson called while I was in there. You got the Natachi account.
- Murray: [excitedly] We got it? Really, we got it?
- [Dances and shouts]
- Murray: We got the Natachi account! We got the Natachi account.
- Jack: Hey, Murray?
- Murray: Yeah?
- Jack: Just kidding!
- [Murray's face falls in disappointment]
- Jack: Wah wah wah wah.
- Jack McDermott: I am the Lord they God. Thou shalt not have strange gods before Me. Out of my way, asshole.
- Henry: 10 minutes and 47 seconds, Mr. Caufield. Boy, some patients make a therapist want to shake his head.
- [Billy kicks a chair out of the semi-circle and sits down]
- Henry: Straighten out that chair!
- Billy: Henry, imagine this: my chair is straight and all the other chairs are out of order. There's a real mind-bender for you there.
- Billy: Can we go now?
- Dr. Weitzman: Billy, every week you get up and say, "Can we go now?" And every week I tell you we haven't heard from Albert yet.
- Billy: Nobody's ever heard from Albert. I've had better conversations with cheese.
- Billy: [about why he threw a chair through the window] I'm sorry. I just flashed back to 'Nam.
- Dr. Weitzman: You never made it to Vietnam, Bill.
- Henry: He's too violent for Vietnam.
- Henry: [Holds up the cupcake Albert had stolen] This is NOT okay.
- Dr. Weitzman: What's that?
- Henry: This is Brian's cupcake. Every day an innocent man is deprived of his dessertwhile we sit here and do nothing.
- Billy: [sarcastically] Ooh, you could do some time for that, Big Al. Ooh! Brian's cupcake. Doc, I say we drag him outside and beat the shit out of him.
- Dr. Weitzman: Guys, guys, Brian isn't complaining so let's just drop it, alright? Don't worry about the cupcake, Albert.
- Dr. Weitzman: Hey Billy, we gotta go. Are you sure you can drive this thing?
- Billy: Are you kidding? I finished second at Daytona.
- Billy: Now I've played some of the top Chinese guys, and I tell ya if you ever whip up a serve to go along with that backhand... it's gonna be a dark day in Peking, babe!
- [They are under a large cardboard box in the rain]
- Henry: I think we should review our goals.
- Billy: Review our goals. Wacko, we gotta find the doctor.
- Henry: Who put you in charge? I'm in charge here.
- Jack: Read the New Testament, Sparky. You'll find out who's in charge.
- Billy: Get outta the way!
- [They bump a pedestrian]
- Billy: Albert, you step on my foot one more time, I'm gonna kill ya!
- Albert: Kill the ump!
- Jack: Why does a grown man have to smell like tuna fish?
- Billy: Look, I don't think I'm Elvis, alright? I don't carry on conversations with my dog, I don't put on a dress and dance around Times Square.
- Officer: Impressive credentials.
- Billy: I just want you guys to believe me. They're two cops and they can come back at any tie.
- Officer #2: Oh, a conspiracy. Is this the one with the ghost of Lee Harvey Oswald?
- [Laughs]
- Billy: Actually, I lied. Once I did put on a dress and dance around Times Square, but I was with Elvis. My dog told me to do it so you can't really blame me, can you?
- Henry: [in the hospital room of whom they think is Dr. Weitzman] Father, may I say a few words? I knew this man perhaps better than anyone here. I pledge to continue his work for as long as I live.
- [near tears]
- Henry: He devoted his life to the treatment for the insane.
- Billy: [looks at the corpse - turns to Henry] Henry, may I say a few words?
- Henry: Oh certainly, William.
- Billy: It's not him.
- Henry: [after pause] Perhaps I'd better bring my remarks to a close.
- Dr. Weitzman: Good, good. Next week we'll work on leaving all the rest of the pieces of paper in the world right where they are. You are gonna find out that chaos is O.K, Henry.
- Billy: Chaos is great.
- Billy: [referring to Jack] We're looking for something casual for the Son of God.
- Bernie: How much does the Supreme Being wanna spend?
- Jack: How about a nice Harris tweed with a blue Oxford button-down and maybe a nice Countess Mara tie, eh, sport?
- Billy: [to the guys] Look, why don't you guys browse around for a while.
- [They just stand there]
- Billy: Browse!
- Pastor Lester: Who is gonna witness for me? We got the Lord on the line! Who's gonna take the call? Please don't leave God on hold!
- Sergeant Vincente: You know what? You got the whole think back-ass-wards, I think you're the missing persons. Just go to 48th street and wait. The guy doesn't show, we're open 24 hours.
- [Answers phone]
- Sergeant Vincente: Hello, Vincente.
- Billy: We're not done!
- Sergeant Vincente: You're done, it's been a pleasure.
- Billy: Hey, we used to be tax payers!
- Sergeant Vincente: Now that will get my attention. You're not out of here in 30 seconds, you got a night in jail!
- Billy: What kind of bonehead cop would send four confessed mental patients back out in the streets?
