Quotes

Mike Streger: I guess I better think of something, huh?
Jerry Miles: No! That's what caused all the trouble before. You had to think of a zombie? You couldn't say a two-headed boy or an African pinhead?
Mike Streger: Where could you get those?
Jerry Miles: Well, a pinhead would have been easy. I don't know where to start lookin' for a zombie.
