Young Winnie: Hey! Hey, Fellatio! Got a match? Well, I do! Your face and my ass! Your breath made of buffalo farts!
David Labraccio: Do I know you?
Young Winnie: You don't know jack-shit! Butt-wipe! Needle-dick! Cock-bite! Jack-off! Limp-wrist! Corn-hole! Banana-breath! Shit-bird! Bird-turd! Turd-face! Kiss-ass! Brown-nose! Macho wimp! Limp dick! Fart-face! Tire merchant! What's the matter? Gonna cry? Come on, Crybaby Davie! Cry! Cry! Cry! Shit-face! Rat-turd! Ass-licking son of a bitch!

Nelson Wright: When my body temperature hits 86 degrees, you're going to hit me with 200 Joules. The electric current will stop my heart. When the heart is dead, take the mask off... I'm going to draw 20 ccs. You handle the injections. When the EEG flatlines, the brain is dead. I'll be exploring. Give me 30 seconds. Flip the blanket on to 'warm.' Take me up to 93 degrees slowly. Inject 1 cc of Adrenaline, and at one minute, Joe, you come in with the defibs. And you bring me back to life.
Rachel: [entering room] With brain damage. Resembling in many ways a cabbage patch doll.

Randy Steckle: He took off mumbling something about making amends.
Joe Hurley: How the hell do you make amends with someone who's already dead?
David Labraccio: I don't know.
[pauses and then looks at Joe]
David Labraccio: You don't think he would try to flatline without us, do you?
Joe Hurley: It would be suicide.
David Labraccio: Shit!
[Drives faster]
-
Nelson Wright: Hey, Dave! What if it works?
-
Randy Steckle: We're finally going to have something to hold over those fucking baby-boomers!
-
Nurse: You've got to get used to losing them.
