Harry Buscafusco : May I ask, why d'ya keep a shotgun in your apartment?
Sylvia Pickel : It's not really mine. An old boyfriend left it here.
Harry Buscafusco : Why did he keep it?
Sylvia Pickel : I don't really know. You don't ask a guy named Icepick too many questions.
-
Harry Buscafusco : Y'know what's happening here? You two are feelin' a lot of sexual tension as a result of the near miss in Nick's tent last night. Why don't you guys work that out? I'll turn around, give you a couple minutes. Have a good time.
Nick Deezy : [Immediately] Harry, you can turn around now.
Harry Buscafusco : Already? I'd see a doctor about that.

Nick Deezy : [as they set off to find Harry, Jr., Nick holds the shirt Harry gave him] This isn't your son's shirt.
Harry Buscafusco : Sure it is.
Nick Deezy : No. This shirt's only been worn by one man, an older man much too old to be your son.
Harry Buscafusco : Did I say my son? No! I'm sorry. I'm *his* son. It's my father that's missin', Harry, Sr.
Nick Deezy : He's not that old, he's about your age.
Harry Buscafusco : I'm adopted. My mother remarried. One of my high school buddies. She saw his picture in my yearbook and, WHAMMO.

Nick Deezy : [Sylvia and Nick are kissing] You know, I'm curious. When did you decide you liked me?
Sylvia Pickel : Oh... I guess when you tried to save my life. I... I appreciated that. I thought back then, He's really nice. I thought, If there was ever anything I could do for him, I will.
Nick Deezy : What do you mean?
Sylvia Pickel : What do you mean?
Nick Deezy : Do for me? What, like now?
Sylvia Pickel : What's happening here? A minute ago you were ready to disappear down my throat.
Nick Deezy : I don't know. This is, uh, starting to sound a little like... charity.
Sylvia Pickel : I must have said the wrong words. I admit, I'm not that smart. I'm not a museum person.
Nick Deezy : Well, you know, the way it's coming out, you're looking for a little action, there's nobody here but me and Harry, and I won. But not by much.
Sylvia Pickel : Ok...
[adopts a sarcastic tone]
Sylvia Pickel : I want you bad, alright? I dream about you and me and a house in Long Island. I'm only half a woman 'til I make love to you.
[reverts to normal voice]
Sylvia Pickel : Are you happy now?
Nick Deezy : Must we spoil what's been a depraved and embarassing evening?
[Sylvia gasps]
Nick Deezy : No no no, please, not another word. This is just the way I want to forget you.
Sylvia Pickel : Screw you!
Nick Deezy : No thanks!
Sylvia Pickel : Boy, Nick, you really know how to show a girl a good time.
Harry Buscafusco : [enters the tent, hair set with pins and in a hairnet] Hey, I forgot to ask you. Can I sleep on this?
Sylvia Pickel : Who gives a shit?
[leaves the tent]
Harry Buscafusco : What's the matter with her?
Nick Deezy : I wouldn't sleep with her!
Harry Buscafusco : Really?
[grins]
Harry Buscafusco : Sylllviaaaa!

Nick Deezy : A women. She's dead.
Harry Buscafusco : Dead? A woman? Where?
Nick Deezy : She's easy to find she's the one that's dea... that's odd.
Sylvia Pickel : The police must have hauled her off,
Nick Deezy : No, no, no, it's only been 5 minutes and we'd have hear the police. there'd be one of those chalk outlines of the body.
Harry Buscafusco : Maybe she bounced, like outta the hotel. Women are soft.
Sylvia Pickel : A gang! A gang took her away so that no questions could be asked.
Harry Buscafusco : So we're discounting the bouncing theory?
Nick Deezy : Completely. A gang that's gonna take another shot at me.
Sylvia Pickel : Louise says gang.
Harry Buscafusco : Well, gangs are not necessarily bad. Ya know there are nice gangs. There was Our Gang, Alfalfa, Buckwheat...
