"The First History Man: [onscreen text] Where must we go... we who wander the wasteland in search of our better selves?"

"The Future Belongs to the Mad."

"The People Eater: We are down thirty thousand units of gasoline, nineteen canisters of nitro, twelve assault bikes, seven pursuit vehicles: the deficit mounts— and now sir, you have us stuck in a quagmire!"

"What a lovely day."

"Riley Keough - Capable"

"Rictus Erectus: I had a baby brother! I had a little baby brother! And he was perfect! Perfect in every way!"

"[blind, waving two MP5 guns] I am the scales of justice! Conductor of the choir of death! Sing, Brother Heckler! Sing, Brother Koch! [shooting blindly] Sing, Brothers! Sing! Sing!"

"Slit: By my deeds I honour him, V8."

"All this for a family squabble. Healthy babies."

"Ms. Giddy: We are not things. We're not things!"

"[referring to Max] He's a crazy smeg who eats schlanger!"

"[referring to her unborn child] Warlord Junior. He's gonna be so ugly."

"Slit: Mediocre Morsov! Mediocre!"

"[to Max] I thought you weren't insane anymore."

"If I'm going to die, I'm going to die historic, on the fury road!"

"Oh, what a day! WHAT A LOVELY DAY!"

"You will ride eternal, shiny and chrome!"

"Cheedo! We are not things!"

"Angharad, is that just the wind, or is that a furious vexation?"

"The Splendid Angharad: Who killed the world?"

"Abbey Lee - The Dag"

"[Narrating] My name is Max. My world is fire and blood. Once I was a cop, a road warrior searching for a righteous cause. As the world fell, each of us in our own way was broken. It was hard to know who was more crazy: me, or everyone else."

"Lord, it's my dope fiend thief of a son and his crazy little nymphomaniac wife."

"I truly feel pity for you both. You are grown up now! And yet you still act as children, who want to do nothing but run and play. You cannot run and play all your life, Diane!"

"James Remar - Gentry"

"Matt Dillon - Bob Hughes"

"All these kids, they're all TV babies. Watching people killing and fucking each other on the boob tube for so long it's all they know. Hell, they think it's legal. They think it's the right thing to do."

"Well, to begin with, nobody, and I mean nobody, can talk a junkie out of using. You can talk to 'em for years but sooner or later they're gonna get ahold of something. Maybe it's not dope. Maybe it's booze, maybe it's glue, maybe it's gasoline. Maybe it's a gunshot to the head. But something. Something to relieve the pressures of their everyday life, like having to tie their shoes."

"Man, I love cops. If there were no hot shit cops like Gentry around, the competition would be so heavy there'd be nothing left to steal."

Upon entering my vein, the drug would start a warm itch that would surge along until the brain consumed it in a gentle explosion. It began in the back of the neck and rose rapidly until I felt such pleasure that the whole world sympathized and took on a soft, lofty appeal. Everything was grand then. Your worst enemy -- he wasn't so bad. The ants in the grass -- they were just, you know, doin' their thing. Everything took on the rosy hue of unlimited success. You could do no wrong, and as long as it lasted, life was beautiful."

"Most people don't know how they're gonna feel from one moment to the next. But a dope fiend has a pretty good idea. All you gotta do is look at the labels on the little bottles."
