• Lester : Do you think George is a fairy?

  Felicia : Who?

  Lester : The kid, the hairdresser.

  Felicia : Well, I don't know for sure. He is a hairdresser, though.

  Lester : Maybe he's just a kooky guy who likes to do kooky things.

  Felicia : Maybe. Why do you ask?

  Lester : I'm thinking of investing with him. He worries me.

  Felicia : Why?

  Lester : Well, maybe he's too flighty and irresponsible. That's why I asked if he was a fairy.

  Felicia : I don't know. He's a hairdresser.

• Lester : That's what I call fucking! Am I right or am I right?

• Lester : Felicia, this party involves more than you and me, you know. These people here are concerned about more than each other.

  Felicia : Is that right?

  Lester : Yes! That's right. Some of us are trying to make this country be a better place to live in. Believe it or not.

  Felicia : Is that what this is all about? To make this country a better place to live in?

  Lester : Yes, that's what this is all about. It's a beautiful thing to see.

• Lester : I just wish I knew what the hell I was living for. You can lose it all, you know. I mean, you can lose it no matter who you are. What's the sense of having it all. Market went down 10 points last week. God damn, Lyndon Johnson. Well, maybe Nixon will be better. What's the difference. They're all a bunch of jerks.

• Lester : I don't know anything anymore.

• Lester : See you tonight, huh, doll.

• Lester : You're right or you're right.
