## Cheech

* [talking to his plants] Ooh, Oaxaca. Ooh, sensi. How are you, my darling? Oh, God, your buds are getting so big. I have to get you a training bra. You got some lint in your belly button there. There you go. All right. Okay, you guys, be cool.
* Yeah, real funny, man... so funny I forgot to laugh...
* Hey, scratch my balls, man... anybody scratch my balls!

## Sgt. Stedenko

* The only way to catch a doper is when you yourself become a smoker. The surest way to make them bleed is when you bust their ass and steal their weed.
* You know we cannot trust our own instincts, now I want you send this down to the analyzer and have it labbed. I'll take care of it.
* [talking to a lizard] You... have beautiful eyes. Yes you do...

## Howie Hamburger Dude

* Would you like to have a hamburger?
* You're the guy from the hamburger train, right? Yeah, the hambur- [sniffs]

## Dialogue

    Chong: Hey, how much money do we have now?
    Cheech: All together?
    Chong: Yeah, all together?
    Cheech: Let's see, mmm, uh, oh man! We have $17,000,000!
    Chong: Really?
    Cheech: Oh, wait, well, um, 17, something. Who cares? We're rich, man.
    Cheech: Man, I can't believe you. Every time you do coke, this shit happens.
    Chong: Hey, wait a minute, man. How come every time I do coke, you say that "every time you do coke" thing?
    Timothy Leary: You want the key?
    Cheech: Hey, please, Doc. Get me outta here. Let me be free. I just want the key, okay?
    Timothy Leary: You're sure you want to be free?
    Cheech: Yeah! Yeah! I want to be free. Just give me the key, okay? Please.
    Timothy Leary: Come here. Stick out your tongue.
    Cheech: What?
    Timothy Leary: Stick out your tongue. [puts a cube on Cheech's tongue] There's the key.
    Cheech: This is not the key. I want the key.
    Timothy Leary: That's the key to the universe.
    Chong: You know what I think we should invest in, man?
    Cheech: What?
    Chong: A rest home for old hippies.
    Cheech: Yeah?
    Chong: Cause, man, you know, like, hippies have been around since the 60's man.
    Cheech: Yeah.
    Chong: You know, and there really isn't like a hip place for 'em to go when they get real old, you know.
    Cheech: Yeah.
    Chong: You know, how I see it, you know, it's like a regular rest home except you have all the dope you can smoke, you know, for these old people. They'd listen to all the music they want, you know.
    Cheech: Like we could call it: Laid Back Manor.
    Chong: Yeah! Hey, great. Yeah.
    Cheech: That'd be heavy.
    Chong: Because, you know, I mean, like, what do people do when they get old? You know, they usually keep them stoned, laid-back.
    Chong: Hey, listen, there's a lot of smart dudes who do coke, man.
    Cheech: Yeah? Like who?
    Chong: Like, Sherlock Holmes does coke. And he isn't so stupid.
    Cheech: Sherlock Holmes?
    Chong: You know what I wanna do when I die, man?
    Cheech: What?
    Chong: I'm gonna get cremated, man.
    Cheech: Yeah?
    Chong: Yeah. Then I wanna get my ashes put in a baggie, you know.
    Cheech: Yeah?
    Chong: Then I'm gonna have all my friends - we'll have a party and then everybody will smoke me. Mix it with some good shit, you know.
    Cheech: Remind me not to be one of your friends when you die.
    Chong: Hey, man, that dude looked kinda straight to be buying dope.
    Cheech: Hey, man, don't worry about it. I checked him out myself, man. He ain't a cop. I can smell cops a mile away, man. They smell like coffee and doughnuts.
    Cheech: We're rich. Hey, let's buy a villa in Costa Rica. That'd be great. We could just...
    Chong: I'm gonna get some more guitars.
    Cheech: Yeah?
    Chong: Yeah, I wanna get a Fender. No, I don't like Fenders, man. No, I'll get one anyway.
    Cheech: Let's get one of those big, white houses, man. You know, like, with a veranda, you know. With a porch. We'd be sitting out there sipping pina colonics, man.
    Chong: Pina colonics?
    Cheech: Yeah.
    Chong: What's that?
    Cheech: You know, they make them in a blender, man. You know.
    Chong: Oh, yeah.
    Cheech: Yeah. We'd have topless ladies, man. Maybe we'll make ourselves sun kings. You know, buy a little island. We'll put two little chairs on a little hill, and every day at noon we'll go up there and all the natives will bow down to us and we'll throw them joints, you know. I like to help the little people, man. Like, that's important in life.
    Cheech: Those are the ugliest chicks I ever saw in my life.
    Chong: No kidding, man. But if they're so ugly, how come you were hitting on them?
    Cheech: I wasn't hitting on them, man.
    Chong: Well, that part about asking them if they were models, man.
    Cheech: I was trying to be nice, man.
    Chong: Models for Kal-Can dog food.
