• Willie : Well, there must be a hundred houses like that around here.

  Carl : I'm only lookin' for one. And I'm lookin' for the lady who lives in it. And when I find her... I'm going to kill her. Oh, yes... oh, yes... I will kill her.

• Willie : Is - Is that what you mean by skin illustrations? Tattoos?

  Carl : They're not tattoos, they're skin illustrations! Don't you ever call them tattoos!

• Carl : [shouting at the lake]  Now shut up now, come on now! Shut up! All you do is make noise in the world!

  [speaking to Willie] 

  Carl : That's how you handle little things, see. You just yell at 'em and they just shut up like a clam. And that puts 'em in their proper place. Man I don't like little things. I don't like - bugs, and frogs, and spiders, and creepy crawly things that *zing* out at 'cha and bite 'cha when you're not lookin'. You know what a tick looks like?

  Willie : Well, sure I seen ticks.

  Carl : Yeah, well they're the worst because they find ya no matter where ya are, and they creep up ya and they suck your blood, see? Ooh they stink, those rotten things.

• Willie : There's a point at which fantasy becomes dangerously close to reality.

• Willie : What makes you think you can keep me here?

  Carl : What makes you think you can go?
