Quotes 

• Larry : My God, it must be something they put in the food.

  Eric : No, man, it's what they *don't* put in it, protein. That, and all that chantin' and jumpin' and spacin' out. After awhile, your wiring blows. Women stop gettin' their periods. Guys get cheeks as smooth as the inside o' Sarah Elizabeth Murphy's left thigh.

• [the deprogrammer knocks at the door. Eric checks him out through the side window] 

  Eric : It's a tall dude...

  Larry : Yeah? Is it him?

  Eric : [shrugs]  I never met the fella.

  Larry : Well if it's a cop... -they're coming in anyway, right?

  Eric : If it's one of them loonies, he *aint*!

• David : If Father's love... isn't unselfish, then... who's is?

  Linc Strunc : I don't know man. See... I'm not God. I can't give you any answers. But all I do know is... that *father's* is a lie.

  Larry : David, if you want to know about unselfish love, then take a look around. We're all here, only because we love you. Your mother, your father, are under arrest, because they love you. We're all doing this, and we're scared stiff of going to jail because... we love you. David, *that's * love. And if you can't see that... if you can't see that...

  [breaks down] 

  Linc Strunc : If... if Father is the messiah. That means every person here is evil, for trying to take you away from him. But if they aren't evil, that means that Father isn't the messiah, doesn't it?

  [pause] 

  Linc Strunc : Listen, only *you* can make... the decision.

• Larry : Listen to me OK, please? I love you David, and I love Sarah, but *individually*. David, together, I think you're a mess.

• Larry : Sixty people out there think I'm hysterically funny, *you* sit there like cold borscht. *Best friends* are supposed to laugh, OK? Even when I stink up the joint, which I didn't... tonight.
