Enid: [picking up a swinging metal ornament of a cowboy on a horse] What is this? Seymour: Dana got it when we went shopping for antiques. She said it didn't go with her stuff, so she gave it to me. Said it would go better with my 'old-time thingamaj...
Rob: I get by because of the people who make a special effort to shop here - mostly young men - who spend all their time looking for deleted Smith singles and original, not rereleased - underlined - Frank Zappa albums. Fetish properties are not unlik...
Slevin: Listen, I've been hearing that a lot lately... The Rabbi: [interrupting] My father used to say: "The first time someone calls you a horse you punch him on the nose, the second time someone calls you a horse you call him a jerk but the third t...
Pita: That's "Bird" Emilio forgot to take him with when he left. Creasy: Who's Emilio? Pita: My last bodyguard. He drove me to school in the morning and picked me up in the afternoon Creasy: I'm here for you? Pita: In between you can take Mum shoppin...
Steve: You know how to shoot, to assassinate people, right? I mean, you make dolls in a toyshop, and you... you shop for sofas? And you- I don't know what you do. Carl: Me? I worry. Steve: [to Avner] So why did they make you team leader? Hans: Becaus...
Big Figure: He's dead, Rorschach. While everyone's distracted, we thought we'd bring you a little housewarming gift. Something from the machine shop. Fat Thug: Hey, Boss, you notice? None of that "small world, tall order" crap, cause he knows once we...

Patience is the antidote to the restless poison of the Ego. Without it we all become ego-maniacal bulls in china shops, destroying our future happiness as we blindly rush in where angels fear to tread. In these out-of-control moments, we bulldoze thr...
