Quotes 

• Roadside motorist : [thinking there is an accident on the road]  Oh, my God. Are you guys in some kind of accident?

  Carl : No, but you might.

• Carl : Why do you want to turn left for, Rudi?

  Rudi Volpone : Because Hunnicutt is gonna try to get out of the state!

  Carl : Well, how do you figure that? If it was me trying to run from the hit, I'd try and stay on the roads that I knew.

  Rudi Volpone : [scoffs]  I need a hit man, they send me one that watches Captain Kangaroo.

  Carl : [offended]  You trying to get cute or something, Rudi?

  Rudi Volpone : No, I'm trying to tell you I make the goddamn decisions here!

• Rudi Volpone : Well, we can't be too far ahead of them.

  Carl : We'd better not be. Uncle Angie is gonna be real pissed if we blow this one, Rudi.

  Rudi Volpone : Look, Carl, nobody's blowing nothing. So, just cool it and think positive like Norman Vincent Peale.

  Carl : Who?

  Rudi Volpone : The guy with the correspondence course. You mean you never heard of him?
