Quotes 

• Star : You look like a guy I was in the navy with. He wouldn't bathe, so we had to pee in his bed to get him discharged.

  Kenny Fraiser : Yeah? What are you gonna do if you don't?

  Albuquerque : If I don't? I don't kn... Oh, I could always go into sales.

  Kenny Fraiser : Like ladies' clothes? Like what you're wearing?

  Albuquerque : No... I don't know. Well, I know all about trucks, so I'd go into trucking, I guess.

  Kenny Fraiser : You're kidding me.

  Albuquerque : No, I'm not kiddin' you. I'm in a truck enough. And I know how to fix motors and all that.

  Kenny Fraiser : Nobody'd buy trucks from a girl.

  Albuquerque : I been fixin' motors a long time. They'd buy 'em from me 'cause I know all about motors. Why do you say that? See, what's happenin' is, if I can't sell trucks and I can't go...

  Kenny Fraiser : Nobody'd buy a truck from a girl.

  Albuquerque : [Spots her husband's truck]  I knew this was gonna happen. Don't say you saw me.

  [Runs off] 

  Star : Hey, you haven't seen my wife, have ya? She's sort of ordinary-lookin'.

  Kenny Fraiser : Uh-uh. Are you going into town?

  Star : You're not one of them country singers, are ya?

  Kenny Fraiser : No. Can you give me a ride?

  Star : All right, get in. You look like a guy I was in the navy with. He wouldn't bathe, so we had to pee in his bed to get him discharged.

• Albuquerque : See, what happened is, he made a million dollars on a fly swatter, because it had a red dot in the center.

  Star : Fly swatter?

  Albuquerque : That's right. Just a red dot. He was sittin' in the buffet, he was eatin', and he saw a woman and she was swattin' flies. And, uh, she... Uh, he said, "What makes the difference in fly swatters?" 'Cause it has to do with the industrial revolution.
