Dialogue

edit
'Doc': Did you ever go to school, stupid?
'Wishy': Yeah and I came out the same way.

'Wishy': If I'm the one that gets killed, get twenty-five beautiful girls to walk around me.
'Doc': Why?
'Wishy': If I don't get up, then you know I'm dead.

Ricardo Montera: [Referring to Rita] Who is she?
Golfer: You got me, brother!
Ricardo Montera: I don't want you, brother!

Ricardo Montera: It's a code.
'Wishy': I don't think so. It's pretty hot in here.

'Wishy': Answer the phone.
'Doc': It's not ringing.
'Wishy': Why wait to the last minute?

Wishy': I want to be like the Rangers when I die. I want to die with my boots on.
'Doc': Why?
'Wishy': I got holes in my socks.

Rita: What can you do?
'Wishy': Nuthin'. And we don't do THAT well, either.
