Candice Paluso : Listen, this is gonna sound like a really stupid question, but, uh, aren't you guys gonna get really bored out here if society doesn't collapse?

Candice Paluso : Eeew!
Sonny Paluso : What're you going to do if things get better?
Donald Quinelle : Is the air getting better?

Doreen : I never thought I'd be contemplating marriage to a man who owned an automatic assault rifle.
Donald : It's not automatic, hon. It's semiautomatic. Automatic weapons are illegal. And why are you using the word "contemplating?"
Doreen : I just mean, Donald, you seem so different.
Donald : Hey, Frizzer, I'm no different, I'm just armed.
-
Sonny Paluso : You're not going to die.
Donald : They always say that to people who are going to die.

Donald Quinelle : You drive fast, oyster brain. Because the sooner you get here, the sooner there'll be one less wart on the ass of society.
