Candice Paluso: Listen, this is gonna sound like a really stupid question, but, uh, aren't you guys gonna get really bored out here if society doesn't collapse? Donald Quinelle: I wouldn't worry about that. Wes says society is heading for the big "flush". And we're going to be the ones who are clinging to the rim while everything else goes down. Candice Paluso: Eeew! Sonny Paluso: What're you going to do if things get better? Donald Quinelle: Is the air getting better? Candice Paluso: That's true. Donald Quinelle: The economy? The Middle East? Arts, literature, television, US Presidents improving? Sonny Paluso: Anyone can nitpick. Donald Quinelle: Sonny, name one thing that's gotten better in the last ten years. Sonny Paluso: [Sonny is stumped] Donald Quinelle: See? Candice Paluso: Video games. Sonny Paluso: Video games! There you are. Donald Quinelle: Alright, I acknowledge that. Sonny Paluso: You're not going to die. Donald: They always say that to people who are going to die. Donald Quinelle: Wes says to shoot the radios because without music they lose half their will to fight. Sonny Paluso: You think Wes is God, don't you. Donald Quinelle: No, not God, Just an ordinary man. Maybe a little ahead of his time, but just an ordinary man. Sonny Paluso: Wes is an asshole. Donald Quinelle: Blasphemy! Oh, you'll smoke a turd in hell for that! [Confessing to his wife that he's a hitman] Jack: So you see, I'm not out there committing adultery. I'm out there committing murder. Betty: Oh, thank God! Donald: You shot my gun god damn it! You're not supposed to shoot a person's gun! Oh, now that pisses me off! You know how much one of these cost? Doreen: I never thought I'd be contemplating marriage to a man who owned an automatic assault rifle. Donald: It's not automatic, hon. It's semiautomatic. Automatic weapons are illegal. And why are you using the word "contemplating?" Doreen: I just mean, Donald, you seem so different. Donald: Hey, Frizzer, I'm no different, I'm just armed. Donald: [dressed in a face-obscuring, hooded, fur-lined parka] I feel like a gynecologist for a grizzly bear. [Donald and Jack in a shoot-out to the death] Donald: Jaaaack? Jack: Yeah? Donald: Time out, OK? Jack: Time out? Donald: Time out. Jack: What do you mean, 'time out?' Donald: You're not gonna believe this. I was in a hurry when I left the cabin this morning, and, well, silly me, I got the wrong bullets. Donald Quinelle: This will be like skiing, except for the booby traps. Doreen: I don't believe in surviving. I believe in living. Wes Huntley: Welcome to the new Middle Ages. from 'The Survivors' (1983) Starring John Goodman ("Tear out bad wood.
