Wizard : Get this. In the middle of the Triborough Bridge, and tthis woman is beautiful, she changes her pantyhose.
Doughboy : No.
Wizard : Oh, yeah!
Doughboy : What did you do?
Wizard : I throw the meter, you know, and I jump in the backseat and I whip it out and I said, "You know what this is?" She says, "It's love!" You know, I fuck her brains out. She goes wild, you know. She said, "It's the greatest single experience of my life." And she gave me a $200 tip and her phone number in Acapulco.

Wizard : Then I pick up these two fags. You know, they're going downtown. They're wearin' these rhinestone T-shirts. They start arguing. They start yelling.

We've got a pursuit of happiness thing. You're consenting. You're adult. *But* in, you know, when you're in my fucking cab, don't go busting heads. You know what I mean? God loves you. Do what you want.
Doughboy : Tell them to go to California. 'Cause out in California, when two fags split up, one's gotta pay the other alimony.
Wizard : Not bad. They're way ahead out there. You know what I mean? California.

Doughboy : You handle some pretty rough customers, huh?
Travis Bickle : Yeah, I have.

Travis Bickle : No.
Doughboy : You need one?
Travis Bickle : No.
Doughboy : If you ever need one, I know a fellow that can get you a real nice deal. Lots of shit around.
Wizard : I never use mine. I'm conservative, you know. But it's a good thing to have just as a threat.
