Mr. Snyder: That's right.
Max: You mean the lowlife, asswipe, eggsucker John Gustafson?
Mr. Snyder: Have you seen him?
Max: That man's crazy. Loco. Always hanging out around those kinky strip bars. You know the ones where the men take their clothes off. That's of course if he's taken his medication.
Mr. Snyder: Medication?
Max: Yes, without it he could be anywhere. Wandering around talking to trees. Believe me, this man is a menace. Always drinking, starting fights.
Mr. Snyder But have you seen him?

John: You're supposed to be smokin' filtered cigarettes, Pop.

John: Oh, did you hear? Someone moved into the Clickner place. A woman.
Grandpa: A woman? Did you mount her?
John: Oh, dad!
Grandpa: Does she have big thighs?
John: No.
Grandpa: No?! Then what's the problem? If I was a young fellow like you, I'd be mounting every woman in Wabasha.

Grandpa: Well, I've got somethin' to offer her! Rowrrr-rowrrr!
John: You wanna clock me? You think you can take me? Come on.
Max: All right. 1937, at Todd Field, I kicked your ass after football practice when you stole my liniment.
John: You kicked my ass? I kicked your ass...
Max: Bullshit.
John: And I can do it again.
Max: Give it your best shot, shrimp!
John: ... It's not worth the effort.
Max: Get out of there.
Mr. Snyder: Beautiful day, mister Goldman!
Max: Hey Snyder! Why don't you do the world a favor and pull your lip over your head and swallow? Hehehe.
Mr. Snyder: Hehehe. Asshole.
Max: Bloodsuckers.
