Quotes

  • Bill: I'm so depressed I can't even blink.
  • Joseph: Dad, can me and Bobby bring life preservers?
Dale: If you want to be sissies.
Joseph: (to Bobby) He said yes.
  • Hank: This trip is about the sacredness of Mother Earth and all she gives us. So pee now, 'cause once we're on the road, we ain't stopping.
  • Bobby: We can't just bury it, dad, remember? Wematanye wants us to honour the bird's sacred spirit.
Hank: And we will do just that in the dumpster behind Stuckey's.
  • Park Ranger: I guess knocking a crane unconscious isn't a crime. Although it's probably not good for them.
