"Well, isn't this just so perfect. Man in his element, balance, harmony. You know what Lao-Tze said, don't you dog? Nature — and it speaks true — why not man?"

"I was boss before you show up!"

"Son-of-a-bitch! What I wouldn't give for a different nightmare."

"It's all here, dog — beauty, magic, inspiration … and serenity. Not to mention silence, amazement, intimacy… enchantment."

"Well, there seems to be some question of authority on your island."

"So that was truly, uniquely, disgusting."

"Don't call me boss. … Don't call me boss at all. I don't want to hear any "boss" from you anymore, you understand?"

"Show me the magic. Come on, show me the magic."

"Kids have no economic base. We're practically hostages."

"Gangsters are everywhere, business, sports, government — at least with Alonzo its all right out front."

"If you were a good doctor, you would find something wrong."

"I know that every moment may be my last, so I'm in one big hurry."

"I show you the olive and the fig and the sweetwater, and now you drowning me because my bonny johnny dance in my pants!"

"You are God, Boss!"

"Sonovabitch storm coming."

"Why don't we grab a bite to eat and I'll tell you my life story."

"You know, the only reason I gave you my key was because I have an incredible fear of… you know… not giving my key to the one person I should give my key to, because they might be the perfect one — that's all."

"You not God! Only God, God!"

"Bad. Bad… Phillip is angry."

"I've forgotten what its like to be sad after sex."

"Phillip is a moody man. But he is a genius, so all is forgiven."

"Hey Mike, stay here and when you wake up come back into town and I'll be waiting for you. You'll be safer here in this comfy neighbourhood than in a city. I grew up in a neighborhood like this. With my dad. He has more fucking righteous gall than all the property and people he lords over. And those he also created. like me his son, but I almost get sick thinking that I am a son to him. You know you have to be as good as him to keep up, you have to be able to lift as big a weight, you have to be able to throw that weight as far. Or make as much money. Or be as heartless. To hold your ground. My dad doesn't realize I'm just a kid. He thinks I'm a threat."

"When you wake up, wipe the slugs off your face. Be ready for a new day."

"I never thought I could make it as a real model, you know fashion-orientated modelling, 'cause I'm better at full body poses. It's alright so long as the photographer doesn't come on to you and expect something for nothing. I'm trying to make a living. I like to have a professional attitude. 'Course if the guy wants to pay me, then hell - yeah. Here I am for him. I'll sell my ass, I do it on the street occasionally for cash. Or I'll be on the cover of a book. It's when you start doing things for free that you start to grow wings. Isn't that right, Mike?"

"Why, you wouldn't even look at a clock unless hours were lines of coke, dials looked like the signs of gay bars, or time itself was a fair hustler in black leather. There is no reason to know the time. We are timeless."

"When I left home the maid asked me where I was off to, I said 'Wherever, whatever, have a nice day.'"

"Flea - Bud"

"Grace Zabriskie - Alena"

"When I turn 21, I don't want any more of this life. My mother and father will be surprised at the incredible change. It will impress them more when such a fuck-up like me turns good than if I had been a good son all along. All my bad behavior I'm going to throw away to pay my debt. I will change when everybody expects it the least."

"Rodney Harvey - Gary"

"Some people take your heart, others take your shoes, and still others take you home."

"I'm a connoisseur of roads. I've been tasting roads my whole life. This road will never end. It probably goes all around the world."

"I always know where I am by the way the road looks. Like, I just know that I've been here before, I just know that I've been stuck here like this one fucking time before, you know that? yeah."

"There's not another road anywhere that looks like this road, I mean exactly like this road. It's one kind of place, one of a kind. Like someone's face. Like a fucked-up face."

"This is a nice home. Do you live here?... I don't blame you."

"River Phoenix - Mike Waters"

"Keanu Reeves - Scott Favor"

"William Richert - Bob Pigeon"
