• Jack Deebs : I'm a cartoonist. I drew all this. I have visions. I translate this.

  Frank Harris : You do nothing, man. This place exists with or without you. You believe me, right? I'm not one of your creations.

  Jack Deebs : Right. You're not pretty enough.

  Frank Harris : Good one. Have a seat.

• Frank Harris : Baby, you and me, I can't have that in the real world. I can't live without you. But I can't be with you. What do you do, huh? What do you do?

  Lonette : Well, we're just going to have to pretend, then, aren't we?

• Frank Harris : When your partner gets inked, you do something about it. He was your partner, so you do something.

  Lonette : Well, I'm not buying it.

  Frank Harris : How about a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

  Lonette : Can't you use think about me for a minute, Frank? I mean, where does this leave me?

  Frank Harris : What are you mad about?

  Lonette : I'm mad because you talk about crossing and you don't even care how it makes me feel!

  Frank Harris : I don't even care? How do you feel?

  Lonette : Left out!

  Frank Harris : You think I want to go back there? You think I want to go back?

  Lonette : Now why wouldn't you want to go back? That's real to you, isn't it?

  Frank Harris : Let me tell you something about over there. It hurts over there. It's lonely over there. It's a war over there. They got 8 million ways for you to die on and they're all permanent. This is real for me, this with you. If I want to stay with you, I gotta go back.

• Holli Would : You want to know what it is about you that really kicks my ass, Harris?

  Frank Harris : How about my foot?

• Frank Harris : Hey, sexy.

  Lonette : It's the man with the badge.

  Frank Harris : In the flesh.

  Lonette : Don't remind me.

  Frank Harris : How can I help it? What are you doing to me? You're messing me up.

  Lonette : Oh, honey, you're tense. It's Holli again, isn't it?

  Frank Harris : Yeah, Miss Holli Would-if-she-could. That dame. You heard anything?

  Lonette : Now you know I don't listen to that sleazy cow.

  Frank Harris : Don't. Just don't.

  Lonette : But why?

  Frank Harris : Because we can never finish it, Lonette. It's frustrating. I'm like a plug without a socket, you know?

• Frank Harris : [sees Nails sniffling]  Nails, this is no time to catch a cold.

  Nails : It's not a cold, boss. I'm allergic to clouds.

  Frank Harris : WHAT?

• Frank Harris : Noids do not have sex with doodles. Right? Noids do no have sex with doodles! It's the oldest law in Cool World. I've never had to enforce it. You cross that line, I'll slap you around and make you piss like a puppy.

  Frank Harris : Jack, you think she's got a thing for you, don't you? That's sweet. But don't flatter yourself. She's a waste of ink. Truth is she's been after me and every other noid who's come though here. It's just that no one's been insane enough to get involved with her. You keep your pencil in your pocket. Know what I mean?

• Frank Harris : A little late for a lady to be out on the streets, don't you think? I've got a couple of questions for you, miss.

  Lonette : Oh, come on, officer. Let it slide, would you? I'm tired.

  Frank Harris : Word is you have a thing for noids.

  Lonette : Yeah, I've got a thing for noids, but what's it to you, tough guy?

  Frank Harris : Baby, you don't know how tough it is.

  Lonette : You're late.

  Frank Harris : Ah, you're killing me. Why are you so beautiful?

• Jack Deebs : What are you doing here, Harris?

  Frank Harris : I'm taking you and the bimbo back.

  Jack Deebs : What are you gonna do, shoot me? Why don't you shoot me, God damn it? Shoot me, Harris!

  Frank Harris : Don't push me! Don't push me! You just couldn't take a piece of good advice, could you? No, Jack, you had to listen to your Johnson.

  Jack Deebs : I've had enough of you, Harris! I've had enough of you, God damn it!

  Frank Harris : You've had enough of me? You've had enough of me, you piece of shit? You screwed us all for a piece of ass? And you've had enough of me? Where is she?

• Lonette : So did you do it while you were back there in the real world? Did you do it while you were real? Do you ever think about going back there so you can?

  Frank Harris : There's no reason now.

  Lonette : Well, then, we're just going to have to stop pretending now, aren't we?

• Frank Harris : [to Holli Would, now human]  You know, sweetheart, you look good in flesh. It's almost a shame I gotta take you back. You are going back, you know?
