Quotes
-
Guybrush Threepwood : How'd you break into the hairstyling industry?
Cutthroat Bill : I saw an ad to join a barbershop quartet. Got a problem with that?
Guybrush Threepwood : No! That must be very rewarding work.
Cutthroat Bill : What's that supposed to mean?
Guybrush Threepwood : Mean? Just that... you know, cutting hair, and, err, singing must be just... a lot of fun.
Cutthroat Bill : It's like a party every day. Some days I just don't know how to contain my joy. I get giddy, and the laughter bubbles out of me like a sparkling fountain of mirth and gaiety.
Guybrush Threepwood : Okay, new topic...

Edward Van Helgen : We all eat roasted garlic...
Haggis McMutton : ...then sing from the diaphragm!
