## Dialogue

    Cigar Face: [while counting money] When we lay this wad on O'Clancy, the boss is going to have him by the balls!
    Nipples: I don't think O'Clancy will take the money. Everybody says he's a honest cop.
    Knuckles: He don't take the dough, I'm going to give him a blow!
    Bruce: I heard that the monster is soooo big.
    Chauncey: Well, I bet he's got his eye on ME!
    Bruce: For your information, everyone knows monsters prefer blondes.
    [Julie and Wanda are looking at pictures of a dead kid that they ran over]
    Julie: That new camera really captures the moments.
    Wanda: I know. The reds are so red. It really gets me hot.
    Frank: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. We are the entertainment for this afternoon. Now on the shotgun, we've got my man Leroy! On the cash register, we've got that magic fingers, Rico!
    Rico: That's me!
    Frank: And last but not least, yours truly, Frank, on the stick.
    Wanda: Slug, are you sure no one will come in?
    Slug: I paid Tony 15 bucks. He said the place is ours 'til tomorrow morning.
    Slug: [to The Toxic Avenger] Get outta here, you pervert!
    [Wanda pulls out a switchblade]
    Wanda: Or I'll kill ya!
