Quotes
[edit]- Ian: The Lone Rangers? That's original. How can you pluralize "The Lone Ranger"?
- Rex: We're going to take the cops up on those demands they wanted.
- Pip: We got a killer list going.
- Rex: Yeah, check it out. We ask for airplay and whatever else we want, then we demand a whole bunch of weird stuff. This way we can plead insanity later.
- Chazz: Where'd this come from?
- Rex: Pip's idea.
- Chazz: Way to go, Pip.
- [One of the list of demands]
- Rex: 67 copies of "Moby Dick".
- Suzzi: The movie or the book?
- Rex: They made a book out of that?

- Pip: With my DICK!
- Rex: Yeah!
- Pip: Yeah! And blood's gonna come out of your head! And there's nothing you can do about it! Cause I'm a MAD MAN! Heh heh.
- Pip: Man, Chazz is right. All we gotta to do is make our own action, y'know?
