| Miles Monroe: |
If you don't shut up I'm gonna take this rock
and bring it down on your head so hard that a substance resembling
guacamole is gonna come out of your ears! |
| ----- |
| Miles Monroe: |
[D]on't try anything while I'm gone, 'cause
you know what you'll get. |
| Luna Schlosser: |
What?! |
| Miles Monroe: |
What? What will you get? Uh, a large and painful
hickey! |
| ----- |
| Dr. Melik: |
[T]his morning for breakfast, uh, he requested
something called wheat germ, organic honey, and tiger's milk. |
| Doctor: |
Oh yes. Those are the charmed substances that
some years ago were thought to contain life preserving properties. |
| Dr. Melik: |
You mean there was no deep fat? No steak, or
cream pies, or hot fudge? |
| Doctor: |
Those were thought to be unhealthy. Precisely
the opposite of what we now know to be true. |

| Miles Monroe: |
My father was black and my mother was white
. . . and vice versa. |
| ----- |
| Miles Monroe: |
This is what I call a cosmic screwing! |
| ----- |
| Miles Monroe: |
My brain?! That's my second favorite organ! |
| ----- |
| Miles Monroe: |
[I]'m not the heroic type. Really, I was beaten
up by Quakers. |
| ----- |
| Luna Schlosser: |
[W]hat do you believe in? |
| Miles Monroe: |
Sex and death. Two things that come once in
my lifetime. But, at least after death you're not nauseous. |
| ----- |
| Miles Monroe: |
I'm what you'd call a teleological existential
atheist. I believe that there's an intelligence to the universe
with the exception of certain parts of New Jersey. |
| ----- |
| Miles Monroe: |
Are there any strange animals that I should
know about around here? Anything weird and futuristic, like
with the body of a crab and the head of a social worker? |
| ----- |
| Miles Monroe: |
I can't believe this. My doctor said that I'd
be up and on my feet in five days. He was off by a-hundred-and-ninety-nine
years. |
| ----- |
| Miles Monroe: |
I'm a clarinet player in 1973. I go into the
hospital for a lousy operation. I wake up two hundred years
later and I'm Flash Gordon. Plus, I'm a criminal! I never
did anything wrong in my life. I ran a health food store in
Greenwich village. Occasionally a customer would get botulism
. . . but that was very rare. |
| ----- |
| Dr. Orva: |
Here, smoke this. And, be sure you get the
smoke deep down into your lungs. |
| Miles Monroe: |
I don't smoke. |
| Dr. Orva: |
It's tobacco. It's one of the healthiest things
for your body. |
| ----- |
| Miles Monroe: |
Now is the time to strike. The leader is suffering
from a terrific handicap: he has no head or body! |
| ----- |
| Miles Monroe: |
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and
a nose for a nose. I don't know what the Hell that means,
but it sounds brilliant. |
| ----- |
| Dr. Melik: |
[H]ave you ever taken a serious political stand
on anything? |
| Miles Monroe: |
Yeah, sure. For twenty-four hours once I refused
to eat grapes. |
| ----- |
| Dr. Orva: |
You must understand that everyone you know
in the past has been dead nearly two hundred years. |
| Miles Monroe: |
But they all ate organic rice! |
| ----- |
| Miles Monroe: |
He was probably a member of the National Rifle
Association. It was a group that helped criminals get guns
so they could shoot citizens. It was a public service. |
| ----- |
| Luna Schlosser: |
Relax, you're shaking like a leaf. |
| Miles Monroe: |
How do you want me to shake? |
| ----- |
| Dr. Orva: |
Remember, we're dealing with an involuntary
subject who expects to be waking up in St. Vincent's hospital
in Green-witch village in 1973! |
| ----- |
| Luna Schlosser: |
What is it? |
| Miles Monroe: |
It's a two hundred year old Volkswagen. |
| ----- |
| Luna Schlosser: |
Miles, did you ever realize that God spelled
backwards is dog? |
| Miles Monroe: |
Yeah, so. |
| Luna Schlosser: |
Makes you think. |
| Miles Monroe: |
Yeah. |
