• Jerry : That's the last goddamn hitchhiker I ever pick up.

• Jerry : Hi, Mister. Would you fill 'er up, please?

  Old Man : I got no gas.

  Franklin : What? You're all out of gas?

  Old Man : My tank's empty! Transport woun't be here until late this afternoon. Maybe not even 'til tomorrow morning.

  Franklin : Hey, do you know where the old Franklin place is?

  Old Man : The old Franklin place?

  Franklin : Yeah, it's an old two-story rock house that sitting up on a hill. I thought it might be back on that road someplace, but I'm not really sure.

  Old Man : Uh... yeah, maybe I've seen something like that up that way. Well now look, you boys don't want to go messin' around some old house. Those things is dangerous. You're liable to get hurt.

  Kirk : We'll be careful.

  Old Man : No, seriously. You don't want to go fooling around other folks' property. If some folks don't like it... they don't mind showing you.

• Pam : Hey, listen to Franklin's horoscope.

  [reading from the astrology book] 

  Pam : "Travel in the country, long-range plans, and upsetting persons around you, could make this a disturbing and unpredictiable day. The events in the world are not doing much either to cheer one up."

  Jerry : That's just perfect. And now read Sally's. She's a Capricorn.

  Pam : Oh, no. Capricorn's ruled by Saturn.

  [reading from the astrology book] 

  Pam : "There are moments when we cannot believe that what is happening is really true. Pinch yourself and you may find out that it is."

• Sally : [when they arrive at the old house, upon seeing its condition]  Oh, I wish they hadn't let the place fall apart.

  Jerry : Now it looks like the birthplace of Bela Lugosi.

• Jerry : Come on, guys; quit goofing on me.

• Franklin : Oh man, it's hot in here.

  Sally : Hitchhiker!

  Jerry : Should we pick him up?

  Kirk : Oh yeah, man! Pick him up; he'll asphyxiate out there!

  Pam : What does he look like?

  Franklin : Well, the son of a bitch is gonna smell just like the slaughterhouse!

  Sally : Oh, give the guy a break. He can sit by Franklin.

  Jerry : What do you want to do?

  Pam : Oh, he's weird-looking. No!

• Jerry : Have you been doing those Reader's Digest 'Word-Power' columns again?
