Quotes 

• Drunk : Do I need to ring a bell to get a refill? You can see my glass is empty.

  Bobby Cupid : Hey, man, the glass is always empty. So is the spot on the counter where the money's supposed to be.

• Uncle Sweetheart : Who's talking to you?

  Bobby Cupid : Common sense! The voices in my head. I mean screw this so-called concert, Jack. Let's disappear for a while, let's go to the South Seas, let's go where Gauguin went and just...

  Uncle Sweetheart : [grabs Bobby]  I don't know which one of these voice is coming out of your head, but tell it to shut the fuck up! And Gauguin was a stockbroker.

• Uncle Sweetheart : You got any idea what this song is about?

  Bobby Cupid : Yeah, it's about trying to get to heaven. You got to know the route before you start out.

  Uncle Sweetheart : No, it's not about that at all. What strikes you about the song is the 'Jekyll and Hyde' quality. The song is written from Hyde's point of. view. That's what you like. It's about doing evil and trying to kill your conscience - if you can. It's not like those other songs of his. The ones about faithless women and booze and brothels and the cruelty of society. It's not like those. This one's right up your alley. It's about doing good by manipulatin' the forces of evil. It's just like you.

• Bobby Cupid : You would commit treason agaist your ownself

• Bobby Cupid : Look, tough guy. If you want the world to be flat, it's flat. If you want it to be round, it can be round.

  Drunk : You son of a bitch! I know some things too.

  Bobby Cupid : Yeah. The more you know, the more you'll suffer .

• Bobby Cupid : This is one of the guitars that started it all.

  Uncle Sweetheart : Looks like somethin' I'd go out to a corner pawnshop and buy somethin' just like it.

  Bobby Cupid : Well, maybe you could; but, it wouldn't be like this one. Cause this is one that played "Match Box Blues".

  Uncle Sweetheart : Oh, "Match Box Blues".

  [singing] 

  Uncle Sweetheart : Sittin' here wonderin', Will a Match Box hold my clothes, Ain't got so many matches, But we got so far to go.

  [speaking] 

  Uncle Sweetheart : Just like you and me Jack. We got so far to go.

• Bobby Cupid : I got a surprise for you. Wait till you see this.

  Jack Fate : What's that?

  Bobby Cupid : That, my friend, is Blind Lemon's guitar.

  Jack Fate : Where'd you get this from?

  Bobby Cupid : I've been savin' it for ya.

  Uncle Sweetheart : How do you know it belonged to Blind Lemon.

  Bobby Cupid : Cause I got it from this ole boy's house in Dallas, down on the fifth ward, near where Lightnin' used to live. Blind Lemon gave it to him when he was leadin' him around.

  Uncle Sweetheart : Looks like the only thing you'd play on that guitar is solitaire.

• Bobby Cupid : The land's too big out there, man. After awhile it starts to swallow you up.

• Uncle Sweetheart : Oh, Iooky, here. Looky what the cat drug in. Bobby Cupid. How'd you get in here? Jack, did you know he was coming? Where's your passport?

  Bobby Cupid : I don't need no stinkin' passport.

• Bobby Cupid : Well, if you ask me, his pen's sweatin' blood.

• Bobby Cupid : Hey, have you ever read "From Whom The Bell Tolls"? Hemingway? Now, there's a guy who could write. You know.

  Tom Friend : Yeah. I read it.

• Tom Friend : I'm lookin' for Jack Fate. Is he in there?

  Bobby Cupid : Who's lookin' for him.

  Tom Friend : Name's Friend. Tom Friend.

• Bobby Cupid : You're nothing but a piker, man. A door to door encyclopedia salesman. You'd commit treason against your own self.

  Uncle Sweetheart : Who's talking to you?

  Bobby Cupid : Common sense. The voices inside my head. That's who.

• Bobby Cupid : Screw this so-called concert. Jack. These cats, here, are just addicted to lights and sound. Man, let's go someplace where we can see the earth and sky. Let's go to the South Seas. Let's go to where Gauguin went and just disappear for awhile. Cause this guy, here, he's like a praying mantis. He don't kill his victims. He just...

  Uncle Sweetheart : Hey, I don't know. which one of those voices is coming out of your mouth, but tell it to shut, the fuck up. Gauguin was a stockbroker.

• Bobby Cupid : Hey, I got one for ya. What did the monkey say to the leopard at the card game? I thought you were a cheetah.

• Uncle Sweetheart : Ah, behold. The dreamer cometh. What's goin' on dreamer?

  Bobby Cupid : There's some guy out there snoopin' around.

  Uncle Sweetheart : Is he lookin' for me? What's he look like?

  Bobby Cupid : What's he look like? Well, he's got a Fu Manchu goatee. He's with some weird, half-breed chick. He looks like a leech, a bleeder, some kind of two-faced monster. A spy.

  Uncle Sweetheart : Well, that's a good attitude. You can tell all that just by lookin' at somebody?

  Bobby Cupid : Yeah, well, a guy does all kinda things to give himself away. He said he was with the press. Lee, he probably would have had him shot. Sherman would have hung him.
