Sam: That's no head, Max! It's one damned ugly timebomb! Let's leave this criminal cesspool pronto!
Max: Good idea, Sam. Maybe we can ditch the head somewhere while the credits are running. Mind if I drive?
Sam: Not if you don't mind me clawing at the dash and shrieking like a cheerleader.
Max: Sam, is "pronto" a real word?
[after the opening credits]
Sam: Well, that was a pleasantly understated credits sequence.

Bigfoot Chief: You boys should be proud of what you've accomplished here today.
Sam: You mean the wholesale destruction of 100 years of civilization in the western United States? You bet we are!
Sam: You know, Max, I can't help but think that we have may have tampered with the fragile inner workings of this little spaceship we call Earth.

Sam: We didn't pay anything.
Max: Well, somebody better give me some money.

Sam: I don't think this is a natural occurrence, Max. In fact, I think we're witnessing a celestial convergence of some sort.
Max: Will it make that rock look more like a frog?
Sam: It's a 1/200,000th scale model of the Ball of Twine.
Max: And it's only 1/200,000th as stupid as the actual ball of twine.
Sam: I bet it's really a soccer ball covered with string.
Sam: So let me get this straight. You want us to go traipsing all over the country looking for a soggy bigfoot?
