“We like to keep an eye on these babies until we get them broken in. Once you get past 54th St. you’re on your own.”
“I have to accept your interpretation of ‘ambulatory care’, Mr. Willis, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it.”

“I can assure you, Mr. Henderson, that under no circumstances will I stick you with a great big needle like the one you saw in Pulp Fiction. Mr. Tarantino has a vivid imagination, but not an accurate one.”

“What you get for two hundred bucks is I take your gall bladder out right here on the street. But your gall bladder’s fine. Let’s face facts, Mr. Henderson. Prostates don’t come cheap.”
