Billy: Ah, it's great to be young and insane! Giant Chicken: Leiter's unbelievable. The man could throw a lamb chop passed the goddamn wolf. Billy: You see those two towers? World Trade Center. I was an architect working on them. First they just wanted to build one but I said, "Fellas, we're here. What the hell, throw the other one up." Turned out pretty well, didn't it? Henry: Fantasy. [some patrons are harassing a waitress] Billy: You guys need to pay up and get out of here. Drunk: Who the hell are you? [Billy grabs the drunk by the hair and slams his face on the table] Billy: I'm an escaped mental patient with a history of violence. 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: I don't want him next to me. He smells like tuna fish. Billy: Restaurant security. Just a minor utensil violation. Go ahead, enjoy your dinner. 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 McDermott: I am the Lord they God. Thou shalt not have strange gods before me. Out of my way, asshole. [their van is being towed] Jack McDermott: Stop! Who dares to tow the van of the living Christ? Driver: The city of New York, Tarzan! $50 for the violation, $75 for the tow and $20 a day for storage. Jack McDermott: [skyward] Father, forgive us for we have sinned! We parked our car in a forbidden zone! Sergeant Vincenté: 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] Hello, Vincenté. Billy: We're not done! Sergeant Vincenté: You're done, it's been a pleasure. Billy: Hey, we used to be tax payers! Sergeant Vincenté: 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? Billy: Where the hell did you go to take that piss? Moscow? Henry: I'm the doctor until the doctor comes back! Billy: Okay, you be the doctor and I'll be the escaped mental patient, okay?
