- Cisco Pike: The kids take it hard when you left?
- Jesse Dupre: I imagine. Ah, screw it, man. I'm gonna' provide for them when we make it. I'm gonna' give 'em half my share. Besides, I got some accident money left.
- Cisco Pike: What's that?
- Jesse Dupre: I got in a car wreck and sustained some heavy "brain damage". That's the easiest one to pull now. Whiplash don't work no more. Broke a leg once. But brain damage, man, that's the easiest one. Ten thousand, just like that. I'm lucky like that, man. Things happen to me.
- Cisco Pike: [to Sue, who is meditating] Why can't you just be some nice, healthy Baptist like the neighbors, 'stead of squattin', weird on the table like some freak.
- Cisco Pike: [to Jesse, who's worried he might be too old to get back on stage again] It ain't your goddamned body they're after, man, it's your soul!
