"[Before destroying merchandise in a Korean drug store] Im rolling prices back to 1965! What do you think of that?"
"[ Foster approaches the gang after they crashed] You missed. [picks up the UZI and shoots, barely missing the only survivor] I missed too. [the survivor begs for mercy; Foster shoots him in the leg] You see, thats the concept. Take some shooting lessons, asshole."
"I lost my job. Actually I didnt lose it. It lost me. Im overeducated, underskilled. Maybe its the other way around. I forget, but Im obsolete. Im not economically viable. I cant even support my own kid."
"Did you know, Beth, in certain South American countries its still legal to kill your wife if she insults you?"
"Ive passed the point of no return, Beth. You know when that is? Thats the point in a journey where its longer to go back to the beginning than it is to continue to the end. Its like...Do you remember when those astronauts got in trouble when they were going to the moon and something went wrong? I dont know, somebody screwed up and they had to get them back to Earth, but they had passed the point of no return. So, they had to go all the way around the moon to get back, and they were out of contact for hours. Everybody waited breathlessly to see if a bunch of dead guys in a can would pop out the other side, and thats me. Im on the other side of the moon now, out of contact, and everybodys just going to have to wait until I pop out."
