"They're gonna keep calling us Cutters. To them itÂ’s just a dirty word. To me, it's just something else I never got a chance to be."--Mike (Dennis Quaid) to Cyril (Daniel Stern), Dave (Dennis Christopher), and Moocher (Jackie Earle Haley)
"What's the matter?"--Evelyn "He's shaving!"--Dad "Well, so what!"--Evelyn "He's shaving his legs!"--Dad
"Refund?! Refund!?"--Dad
