• [about the FEDS] 

  [over radio] 

  Burt : Need I remind you Jack? They are not your friends, they are government agents. OVER!

  Jack : [also over radio]  Cut me some slack, Burt! All I did was a little negotiatin'.

  Burt : You did *what*?

  Jack : I cut us a deal! You help 'em catch one live graboid, they give you back your huntin' license, over.

  Burt : [Burt drives up, stopping next to Jack. Jodi notices them still talking on the radio]  Uhhh, copy that. Roger. One question.

  Jack : Shoot.

  Burt : [Off radio, getting out of the vehicle]  Is your head up your ass for the warmth?

• Jodi Chang : [after assembling a potato gun, Jodi realizes a problem]  Uh, but do we have a lighter?

  Jack : Burt does.

  Burt : [looks up from the gun]  How do you know?

  Jack : Well, 'cause you're... Burt.

  Burt : [presenting lighter]  Damn right I am.

• Burt : Have you heard from the feds?

  Jack : Not since this morning. Haven't been able to raise 'em. They were chasing a Graboid.

  Burt : They were chasing it? It wasn't chasing them?

• Jack : The universe provides.

  Jodi Chang : The universe provides a boat?

  Jack : And a blue tarp! C'mon!

• Jack : I've been listening to my inner voice, and it's tellin' me that you and I are destined to work together. What do ya think?

  Burt : I think if I had an inner voice, it'd be tellin' me to tell you to get lost.

  [drives off] 

  Jack : Well, uh just give it some time. You just think about it and get back to me now.

• [Suggesting names for the flying monsters] 

  Jodi Chang : Assblasters. How's that?

  Jack : Sounds like a porno film.

• Jack : Alright, that's good. Well, I think we just best wait it out a spell.

  Tourist Lady : How long do you think it will be?

  Jack : Well, ma'am, time is the eternal river. I suggest we not swim upstream.

• Jodi Chang : By the way, you didn't pay me for that bag of ice this morning.

  Jack : Yeah, well, you know, I thought it was complimentary ice.

  Jodi Chang : I'm in business here, Jack.

  Jack : So am I. I've been thinking you ought to sell me my refreshments at wholesale.

  Jodi Chang : Because?

  Jack : It's a part of our symbiotic relationship.

  Jodi Chang : Oh, symbiotic relationship. That's a good one, Jack.

  Jack : You see, Jodi, all things are related. My business brings business to your business. Probably like an increase of about, approximately around, 50%.

  Jodi Chang : Oh, Actually, 22%, with questionable sustainability.

  Jack : Questionable sustainability?

  Jodi Chang : Do you have a business plan?

  Jack : I try not to plan too much. I trust in the ebb and flow of the universe.

• Jack : So, what do we do?

  Burt : Your little jungle boat ride is over, mister. Time to fish or cut bait.

  Jack : Yeah, so what do we do?

  Nancy Sterngood : Burt, excuse me, but we're not cut off this time. We don't have to act like militia nitwits. We can call for help.

  Burt : Nancy, since no one has bothered to maintain or monitor their seismic equipment, we have no idea how long the graboids have been active and therefore have no idea when they may become shriekers. We can't wait for the authorities, we are the authorities.

  Jack : So, what do we do?

  Burt : We hunt them down. We wipe them out. We'll go at dawn.

• [after Burt blows up a shrieker herd] 

  Jack : Holy Sheeit! he doesn't fool around.

  Jodi Chang : Burt is very uh, committed.

• Burt : And people called me paranoid.

  Jack : Uh, *I* don't think you're paranoid!

  Miguel : I do...

  [Under his breath] 

  Miguel : ...but not no more.

• Burt : [after everyone runs into an outhouse to hide from the assblasters]  Well... let's assess the situation.

  Jack : We're screwed.

  Jodi Chang : We're screwed in an outhouse?

• Jack : Burt, what happens if this thing eats your food?

  Burt : [looks around at the many, many cases of MREs]  Assblaster Blitzkrieg.

• Burt : [after an argument about catching a live graboid. Currently glaring angrily at Jack after he "cut them a deal" with the Feds]  You...

  [turns gaze to the Feds] 

  Burt : ... say you have some sort of tranquilizer? Hmm?

  Jack : [mouthing]  Thank you...

  Frank Stattler (Third Fed.) : Yeah, we're usin' tranq darts.

  [looks at Rusk] 

  Frank Stattler (Third Fed.) : We got one to chase us, but we couldn't get these

  [holds up a tranq dart with bent tip] 

  Frank Stattler (Third Fed.) : to penetrate the dirt. I'm ordering titanium tips, and a more powerful launch-gun.

  Burt : Of course, you could *squander* the tax-payers' money, but I bet I could get them to swallow *this*

  [holds up a bag with tranquilizer fluid inside] 

  Burt : with *this*

  [holds up a remote-control truck] 

  Burt : , for $49.95!

  Agent Charlie Rusk : So, do we - do we - we have a deal? Because we wanna know what - we should do...

  Burt : You guys do what you do best!

  [gets into his truck with the window rolled down] 

  Burt : Find something simple and complicate it!

  Jack : [to Rusk]  It's good that he expresses himself. Repressed emotions can be real toxic.

  Agent Charlie Rusk : He needs counselling...

  Burt : [to Jack]  Get in!

  Jack : What?

  Burt : You got me into this!

  Burt : Well, alright!

  [Runs to the truck, slides over the hood, and jumps into the truck through an open window] 

  Burt : Use the door!

• [Jack notices chains attached to the back of Burt's truck] 

  Jack : Somebody gettin' married?

• Burt : [handing Jack a gun]  You do know which end the bullets come out?

  Jack : I've seen movies.
