Quotes 

• Pagan Lace : We always have a good time.

  Tom Friend : Good times don't last long.

  Pagan Lace : You are making everything so tragic.

  Tom Friend : Tragic? I'm not making it tragic. Every period in history has been, more or less, tragic.

  Pagan Lace : I don't know what you're saying.

  Tom Friend : Don't you read the paper? The pervert's gonna be the top man now.

• Tom Friend : Look, it's an overcrowded world. It's hard to get at the top. There's a long line at the elevator.

  Pagan Lace : It doesn't matter. We'll take the stairs.

• Pagan Lace : Arise O'Lord: Save me. Arise O'Lord: Save me. Arise O'Lord: Save me.

• Tom Friend : The newspaper is just a false map of the world! You ever hear of the AIDS epidemic? Huh? What if I told you it was cooked up by some Mau-Mau men in Africa and they gave it to British sailors. What about the Vietnam War, huh, you ever hear of that? What if I told you it was lost in the whorehouses of Saigon instead of on the battlefield.

  Pagan Lace : How do you know that?

  Tom Friend : You never reveal your sources.

• Pagan Lace : Your problem is that you're always looking at the bug on your windshield. And if you keep looking at it you're gonna miss the whole scenery and have an accident. You gotta look through the windshield - not at it.

• Pagan Lace : Be careful, Tommy. The light in your brain will go off.

  Tom Friend : I never thought I had a brain until now.

• Pagan Lace : What is it Tommy? What's bugging you?

  Tom Friend : What's bugging me? The absurdity of a lifetime of futile labor. That's what's bugging me. Condemned to some pointless task. I'm trying to track down some guy and ask him the meaning of life.

• Pagan Lace : Oh, he's good. He's great. I love his songs because they are not - they are not precise. They are completely open to interpretation.
