Dave Lyons Today, I threatened to shoot a naked woman with my erection. That doesn't happen every day. Well excusez-moi, monsieur hot shit! We're in a warehouse, and you just hit a cow. I think we better back up. Did she say ship, or shit? Other Captain Braddock: What's the story here, Gatlin? I got the commissioner crawling up my ass! Dialogue Dave: Tell me the first thing that pops in your head. Wally: Pussy! Eve: Any last requests, Mr. Karue? Wally: I suppose a fuck is out of the question. Eve: I'm afraid so. Wally: So, you're the fat fuck who's running this show! Sutherland: Beautifully put, Mr. Karue. You're obviously a poet, a man after my own heart. Dave: And then one day, my wife turned into this remarkable creature that could sit on the end of a broomstick and take off. She could actually achieve flight. Wally: I think I was married to that woman once. Dave: Small world. Hotel Clerk: Dr. Kesselring, we thought you wouldn't make it, did you have trouble with your visa? Dave: Yes, and then suddenly they excepted American Express. Wally: Yes, don't go home without it. Captain Braddock: Okay, no more bullshit. [to Dave, talking fast] Was there or wasn't there a woman? Dave: Are you serious? Captain Braddock: Yes, I'm goddamn serious. Dave: Fuzzy Wuzzy was a woman? Captain Braddock: What the hell is he talking about? Wally: He reads lips. You're talking too fast. Captain Braddock: [to Dave, talking slowly] Was there... a wom-an... pres-ent? Dave: [to Captain Braddock, talking slowly] Yes. There was... a wom-an... pres-ent. Captain Braddock: [to Wally] Why is he talking like that? Wally: [to Captain Braddock, talking slowly] Because he's deaf... not stu-pid. Dave: You swear an awful lot. Wally: You're fucking-A right! Dave: Who are you talking to? Wally: I'm talking to you, you prick. Dave: Why don't you look me in the eye and say that? Wally: I would if I could but I can't, I'm blind. Dave: You're blind? Wally: Yes, I'm blind. What are you, fucking deaf? Dave: YES! I'M FUCKING DEAF! Wally: You're really deaf? Dave: I'm really deaf. Wally: Then how do you know what I'm saying? Dave: Because I'm reading your lips. Now you want the job or not? Wally: Where are we? Dave: Probably on our way to New Jersey by now. Wally: No kidding! I got family in there! Do you want to come with me? Dave: Of course. You've earned my trust, Wally. You've been a very good friend to me these past couple days. You're always there for me. You never get me into trouble. Sometimes it seems a bit boring but that's a small price to pay for such a wonderful friendship. Wally: That's beautiful, Dave. Do you mean everything you just said? Dave: I'll tell you how I really feel in about a minute or two. Right now, I'm a little overwhelmed by the STINK of the seven tons of garbage that you drove us into! Wally: Is THAT what it is? I thought you let one go! That's why I didn't say anything! Dave: That's very kind of you! Thank you! Wally: These streets are bumpy. Dave: You're driving on the sidewalk! Adele: I think David got a little messed up. Dave: What did she say? Wally: She said she thinks you're an asshole! [Dave doesn't hold up any fingers] Dave: How many fingers am I holding up in front of your eyes right now? Wally: Three! Dave: That's good. That's pretty good, considering that he's blind. Wally: [yelling in Dave's ear] Shazaam! Can you hear me? Dave: Wally! I heard you! I heard your voice! Wally: Hooray! You can hear me! Dave: What? Wally: You can hear me! Dave: [shouts] No, schmuck. I'm deaf! I'm deaf! Now do you get it? Dave: Fucking-A. Something bothers you, fuck it. Your wife leaves you, fuck her. Your boss fires you, fuck him. Fucking-A. Fucking them. Right? Wally: You're fucking right! Dave: It's a gift to be able to do that. Dave: Wally! He could put a hole through your *head*, Wally! Wally: *Fuck* him and his holes! Dr. Cornfeld: WHO are you, sir? Dave: [misreading Cornfeld's lips] Fine, thank you! Cabbie: Let me see a badge! Kirgo: [holds up gun] This is my badge! Captain Braddock: 32 years on the force, a wife and three kids and a blind guy and a deaf guy are making me look like a real asshole. Gatlin: You got that right. Captain Braddock: What?

Reporter: Do you really think you can stop Khomeini? Dave: Not if it's funny. Adele: Why do you feel you have to pass for someone with 20/20 vision when you're blind as a bat? Wally: I don't feel. I have to pass. Adele: Yes, you do. It's a sickness in your brain, just like if you were trying to pass for white. Wally: You mean I'm not white? Taglines One's blind. The other's deaf.
