Quotes9

  • Alan Cowan: [to Penelope] I saw your friend Jane Fonda on TV the other day. Made me want to run out and buy a Ku Klux Klan poster.
  • Alan Cowan: Penelope, I believe in the god of carnage. The god whose rule's been unchallenged since time immemorial.
  • Alan Cowan: Keep on stroking your own ego. It's beautiful.
  • Nancy Cowan: [reaching for the scotch bottle] Let's get out of here, Alan. These people are monsters.
  • Alan Cowan: Stop it, Nancy.
  • Nancy Cowan: No, no, no. I want to drink some more. I- I wanna get drunk off my ass! This- this bitch throws my bag against the ceiling, nobody lifts a finger. I wanna be blind drunk.
  • Alan Cowan: You're drunk enough.
  • Nancy Cowan: How can you let her call our son a criminal? We come over here to work things out with them and they, they insult us, they browbeat us, they lecture us about being good citizens of the world! I am glad our son kicked the shit out of your son and I wipe my ass with your human rights!
  • Michael Longstreet: Wow! Get a couple of drinks in her and BAM!, her true self comes out.
  • Alan Cowan: Morally you're supposed to overcome your impulses, but there are times you don't want to overcome them.
  • Alan Cowan: Nancy, it's absurd to drink in your condition.
  • Nancy Cowan: What condition?
  • Michael Longstreet: I am a short-tempered son of a bitch, okay?
  • Alan Cowan: We all are.
  • Alan Cowan: Mrs. Longstreet, our son is a maniac!
  • Alan Cowan: Did you schedule a contingency for litigation?
