• Annette : [to Tommy]  Thank you again for getting rid of Fern.

  Laurie : [apalled]  Mom!

  Tommy Spinelli : The going rate is five thou, but you could owe me, lady.

• Tommy Spinelli : Alright, grab all the heads. Just leave the top one.

  Ernie : Why?

  Tommy Spinelli : Because the top one doesn't look like anybody and Big Sep will never buy it. Now come on.

  Steve : Wait a minute. I sawed off this head and you're not even gonna use it?

  Ernie : Steve, chill.

  Steve : No, you chill. I spent alot of time on this head. Don't you think you could have at least told me this before I cut it off?

  [Tommy slaps him in back of the head] 

  Ernie : Ooh. I saw that coming.

  Tommy Spinelli : Don't ever fuck with a guy looking for heads.

• Ernie : I think we better pull over, 'cause we need some gas soon.

  Tommy Spinelli : Keep fucking driving.

  Fern : Didn't I tell you to watch your fucking language?

• Tommy Spinelli : I need a flight to Bethesda University.

  Ticket Taker : I'm not sure the university has its own airport. But we can fly you to Baltimore, will that do?

  Tommy Spinelli : Hey, don't get cute with me, asshole, huh?

• Tommy Spinelli : Where's Charlie?

  Fern : Who are you?

  Tommy Spinelli : I asked you a question, where the fuck is Charlie?

  Fern : And I asked you a question, who the fuck are you?

• Ernie : Are you telling us that you're gonna find a replacement for the head Charlie lost?

  Tommy Spinelli : [looks through a year book]  Yeah. We got some time to kill before we go to the airport.

  Steve : But these are human beings. Innocent people. You can't just kill innocent people because they look like somebody else.

  Tommy Spinelli : Let me tell you something, college boy, nobody is innocent.

  [picks a person in the book] 

  Tommy Spinelli : Now who is he?

  Steve : He's my anatomy professor. He almost flunked me.

  Tommy Spinelli : Good. Here's your chance to get even with the prick. Get me his address.

  Steve : Alrighty.

• Annette : [goes to back of van to lie down and sees head]  Oh my God! AAH! AHH! Another head! Oh my God! Help! Help!

  Tommy Spinelli : Lady, lady, shut up!

  Annette : I can't stand it! I'm losing my mind! Everywhere I look, there are heads! AAAAA!

  Tommy Spinelli : Shut up lady, Jesus Christ! You're not the only person on the planet with problems, OK? Shut it! Jesus, what a head case.

  Fern : Is that supposed to be a JOKE? Killer humor?

• Paramedic : What? What are you... Don't kick it! For God's sake, those are live human organs!

  Tommy Spinelli : Trust me, pal, they don't feel it.

• Ernie : Tell me if this sounds like a phone hanging up.

  [Hangs up phone] 

  Tommy Spinelli : Yeah... SHIT!

• Steve : This is like grave robbing - grave robbing. Or worse.

  Ernie : I don't see any graves. Do you see any graves?

  Tommy Spinelli : [Cocks gun]  There's going to be two fresh ones right now if you don't start looking for heads. Come on.

• Tommy Spinelli : Look, I don't want to have to put you kids through hell so let me tell you what's going to happen. First I'm gonna hurt you. Then you're gonna try to be brave. Then I'm gonna hurt you again, then you're gonna tell me everything.

• Steve : No, please don't. I fly! I fly!

  Tommy Spinelli : What are you, a fairy?

• Ernie : Okay, let's review: you've got a Hugo, a Little Joey, a Frank, a bad Stu...

  Tommy Spinelli : No, bad Frank.

  Ernie : That's what I said.

  Tommy Spinelli : No you didn't. You said bad Stu. Stu was just so-so.

  Ernie : No, sir, I said a so-so Stu.

  Tommy Spinelli : You did not. You said bad Stu!

  Ernie : Yes I did and everybody heard! I said a so-so Stu!

  Tommy Spinelli : You said bad Stu!

  Ernie : I know the names and you don't...

  [Arguing continues] 

  Steve : Would you two stop it, goddammit! These are not baseball cards we're talking about here. These are heads! Human beings' heads!

• Ernie : This university has the largest cryonics facility in the country. They've got hundreds of frozen heads.

  Tommy Spinelli : Why do they got hundreds of frozen heads?

  Ernie : [sarcastically]  I think for, uh, situations like this.

  Tommy Spinelli : Hey don't be a little smart ass, you!

  Ernie : Look, they have them because people feel that maybe in a couple hundred years, we can bring them back to life, clone them a nice, healthy body.

  Tommy Spinelli : Are you jerking me around?

  Ernie : What? Oh my God. You just put welts and bruises over 90% of my body and now you're talking about having me help you decapitate some professor. WOULD I BE JERKING YOU AROUND?

• Tommy Spinelli : Lady, you interrupt me one more time, you're gonna swallow this phone. Now get outta here!

• Steve : Can we answer that? It might be Charlie!

  Ernie : It might be Charl...

  Tommy Spinelli : Put it on speakerphone.

  Steve : Hello?

  Charlie : Steve!

  Steve : [in unison with Ernie, sighs with relief]  Oh, Charlie, thank God! Jesu-

  [he is cut off by Tommy] 

  Tommy Spinelli : Listen to me, you a-hole! You got my heads an' I wan'em back! Y'understand?

• Tommy Spinelli : [to Steve and Ernie]  I think it's time I got rid of you two and moved along.

  [indicates with gun] 

  Tommy Spinelli : Come on. Come over here.

  Steve : What? You can't just kill us! I mean, we're trying! We are trying...

  Tommy Spinelli : [cuts Steve off]  Trying? What are you talking about? What does this look like, the Special Olympics? I need the bag!

  [waving gun] 

  Tommy Spinelli : Get over here!

• Tommy Spinelli : I thought I told that little sonofabitch to stay put!

  Fern : So who are you, God? Why the hell should he listen to you?
