[They are outside the Chief's house at his party, looking inside at all the gay guys]

Probie, get in there and get us some booze.

Why me?

Tommy

Because you can probably slip under the gaydar.

Me? What about Sean?

Tommy

If we were to have the gayest lookin' guy in the crew contest, you win, hands down.

Or pants down as the case may be.

What does that mean? He has better hair than me? Better body? Better what?

Tommy

You're really not asking me that question right now are ya?

[about Janet] She's either the world's greatest actress or she's on drugs.

Tommy

What I can't be funny?

Not to her. Not in years. Unless of course it's a brain tumor. But you wanna know somethin' with all the shit that's gone down between the two of ya in the last five years let alone for her to be laughin' at your jokes, it's gotta be a tumor the size of a goddamn grapefruit.

Tommy

I don't think it's a tumor, okay?

Well, then we have option number three.

Tommy

Which is what?

Goof balls.

Tommy

Goof balls?

Pills. They have pills for everything now. Stop smoking, pay attention, blah blah blah. I bet my right nut that she's one of those brand new, I hate my husband, I hate my life, my vagina hurts, please just take it all away that kinda thing. Take two a day and not only is your asshole husband funny but you might wanna bang his lying, deceitful, cheatin' little brains out. No offense, Tommy.

Tommy

None taken.

Tommy

[Franco wants to write Laura a poem] No, no, listen to me, listen to me. I don't care who we're talkin' about-- young chick, old chick, in-between chick, Cindy Crawford on her best damn day-- they all think their ass is fat, okay? We love the ass. We all think the ass is like a festival of fun. It's a place to go, chock-full of stuff we can to do, but to them, the ass is death. Gravity and death and hard goddamn times. Stay away from the ass, okay? Go with the tits. Tits, eyelashes, eyes. All right? That's it. [Lou looks at him] What?

You write a poem about tits, she's gonna rip it up and shove it down your throat. Chicks wanna hear about emotions, they wanna hear about remorse, they wanna hear I'm sorry's up the goddamn ying-yang.

Tommy

So you write a poem that says I'm sorry, blah blah blah. I regret bing bang boom. And then you throw in a "Hey, I like your nice beautiful tits." [Lou stares at him] What?

Emotions.

Tommy

Tits.

Remorse.

Tommy

Melons.

I'm sorry.

Tommy

Gazungas.

I love you.

Tommy

Double peaches of pleasure.

Around here, we got the probie, he controls all the homo retard crap, okay? Garrity covers all the stupid retard bullshit. Franco is our pussy man. You control all the drinkin' and the fire hero worship crap. Poetry is my territory, you're musclin' in on my turf.

Tommy

You need to take some kinda chill pill because you're very upset--

Lemme ask you somethin' else. Where were the tits?

Tommy

Where were the tits?

All week long in the poem! [mocking him] It's gotta have tits. Gotta love tits. It needs tits, it needs tits. 14 goddamn lines, not one tit.

Tommy

It was implied.

Oh, it was implied?

Tommy

Yes, in subtext.

It was subtext. Subtext, my ass. What are you Walt goddamn Whitman all of a sudden? The Tommy Gavin I know would never write that poem. The Tommy Gavin I know would never write that poem to seduce his own piece of ass let alone his buddy's. You wanna know something? This, the fall you just took, the dancing, the singing, the cleaning, the la-la-la, what the hell are you on?

Tommy

[After they donated blood] I just feel really light headed. You don't have anymore juice, do ya?

You almost fell getting off the table, you pussy.

Tommy

I got up too fast, okay? And you should watch your language in front of the house of God. Back me up on that.

FMFather Murphy

He's right.

Sorry.

Tommy

Yeah, asshole.

You give that guy a bad nose job, a ranch with some rides on it and Liz Taylor's home number, you're looking at Michael Jackson my friend.

Tommy

Okay, first of all he's our half brother, okay? So if he's Michael Jackson, you know who that makes us? That makes me Tito and that makes you Jermaine

Why do I gotta be Jermaine?

Tommy

Cause I'm Tito.

[After Tommy just drank orange juice that had pulp in it]

Since when do you hate pulp?

Tommy

Ever since they started takin' the time to take the goddamn pulp out. Since then, okay?

Honey, I'm sorry. I didn't know you had a thing with the pulp.

Tommy

Yeah. I hate all pulp. I hate orange juice pulp. I hate that stupid British band named Pulp. Pulp Fiction. Quentin Tarantino, what's with that goddamn head by the way. Is that not the biggest head in the history of heads? He turns sideways it's like you're lookin' at a map of the New Jersey coastline. And Kill Bill what a piece of shit. And then there's a Kill Bill 2 what's that about? Jesus Christ.

Tommy, the kids.

Tommy

Kids, when you grow up don't see either one of the Kill Bill's they both suck, okay?

[seeing Sean and Mike play Scrabble] Look at this: A meeting of the minds and the minds are a no-show.

Tommy

[looking at the Scrabble board] Hmm. "Tag." "Arm." "It." "Go." That's great guys.

Why even bother keepin' score?

[placing tiles on the board] F-E-L-L. Read it and weep.

Oh, shit. How many points? [Sean and Mike just stare at each other, Mike takes a little time to figure it out]

Eight.

I figured you and me we always had a special bond. Backed each other up.

Tommy

I know. I know.

I figure the only reason that you like me is because I'm the only person the family hates worse than you.

Tommy

There might be a sliver of truth to that. But you know I love you and Johnny likes you.

Oh, don't pump sunshine up my ass Tommy. Johnny is scared shitless of me. Always was.

Tommy

Probie, do you know anything about this chick Garrity's been seeing?

No, he's been pretty tight-lipped about it. I know she's older, though.

Yeah, how much older?

Like a lot older-she was watching Monday Night Football the night they announced John Lennon got shot.

Yeah, that was, like, 1980, right? She couldn't have been, like, five years old.

She had a bet on the game.

I need you to talk to Damian. I found a box of condoms in his room.

Tommy

Look, he’s almost 18 years old. There’s porn all over the internet, okay – hardcore, softcore, midgets blowing sheep. I think he’s probably pretty up to date.

Tommy

Let me get this straight--

I'm bangin' my science teacher.

Tommy

Mrs. Turbody, she's obviously married.

No, no actually she's widowed. That's kinda how we connected. You know, the grieving processes, the different stages, blah blah blah.

Tommy

Blah blah blah.

Yeah, I got that from you.

Tommy

This is some serious stuff. This-- this could scar you for life.

Yeah. I sure as hell hope so.

Tommy

No. Literally, I mean you could end up being my age and still have the mental images from this-- y'know, in the front of your brain.

[Damian cheers]

Tommy

[trying to convince Damian to stop dating his teacher] Alright, here's the deal. You ever look behind your mom's TV set, where the home entertainment system is and all that stuff is. You ever look behind there?

Uh, no.

Tommy

Well, if you did, you'd see a whole gaggle of wires back there with connections and stuff-- there's inputs and there's outputs, and-- and it's kinda like your interior pleasure center. Like, your brain is wired directly to your penis, okay? So, you have all these inputs and outputs and if you put the wrong input in the wrong output, next thing y'know your brain is sending the wrong signal to your dick and you can get completely screwed up, okay? So it's okay now when you're 18 years old and you're bangin' a hot 38 year old Mrs. Turbody-- but then you can turn into a 45 year old man-- my age, and then all of a sudden you wanna bang... 70 year old broads, okay? You want that, huh?

No.

Tommy

You ever seen your grandmother naked?

Hell no.

Tommy

Well, I'm talkin' about seein' her and wantin' to bang her. You want that?
