Quotations

[girl in bed with him farts on him] Oh, no you didn't.

Welcome to el Matador, Spanish for, The Matador.

I'm gonna need a bucket, a paint brush and 10 pounds of salt. Lance. Get his pants.

I don't have to write a test to tell you that I take drugs.

Carpe the Diem. Seize The Carp.

Can you get an STD from a polar bear?

Maybe we should clarify something. When you won the race last night, that made you king of the mountain. Not king of the no-ball-pussy-losers. They already have their own king. My brother.

No regrets, that's my motto. Well... that and everybody Wang Chung tonight.

This suit is really cramping my Hardy Boys. It's no mystery.

Well, yeah it doesn't really allow my dice to roll and by dice I mean testicles. Speaking of testicles, let me get a beer.
