  • The whole 'wrestling' scene. Especially in the film. "You wrestle her! I don't know how to wrestle!"
  • Roy Cohn dying for real immediately after gloating about how he tricked Ethel's ghost into thinking it.
  • "You only ''think'' you know all that I know! ''I'' don't even know all that I know! Half the time I make it up, and it ''still'' turns out to be true!"
  • The male prostitute Louis tries to pick up saying he lives with his parents.
  • "I wish I were an octopus...A FUCKING OCTOPUS!"
  • "Fuck you, I'm a prophet!"
  • Upon meeting the ghost of his dead ancestor (who's also named "Prior Walter"), Prior gets into an argument with him over whether there have been thirty-four men named "Prior Walter" in his family or just thirty-two. His dead ancestor just offhandedly informs him that two of them were bastards, and therefore don't count.
    Prior: I'm the 34th, I think.
    Prior 1: Actually the 32nd.
    Prior: Not according to my mother.
    Prior 1: Oh, then she's including the two bastards. I say leave 'em out. I say no room for bastards.
  • "I'm trapped in a world with white people. That's my problem."
