Chili Palmer : The way you're dressed, you're either a pimp or a limo driver.

Chili Palmer : Raji, look at me.
Raji : I'm looking at you, man!
Chili Palmer : You say you're looking at me, but are you really looking at me?

Chili Palmer : You know what we oughta do? We oughta call him.
Edie Athens : Call who?
Chili Palmer : Steven.

Edie Athens : That's a great idea, Chill.
Chili Palmer : Yeah.
Edie Athens : Hey, and maybe Bono and Sting will come down and we could all cut a Christmas album.
Chili Palmer : You know him, don't you?
Edie Athens : Know him? Steven Tyler? Chili, I know his socks.
Chili Palmer : Edie, you have a tattoo of Aerosmith on your ass. You can't get a meeting with him? We want Steven Tyler, we'll get Steven Tyler.

Chili Palmer : Evening, gentlemen. Interesting choice of music.
Sin LaSalle : "That cold black cloud's comin' down." Gotta love Dylan, man. Biograph. It's a great album. You know, we wouldn't have this song without it.
Chili Palmer : But we would've. Because, you see, Dylan wrote that originally for that Peckinpah movie with James Coburn.
Sin LaSalle : You're in no position to correct me.
Chili Palmer : It was to a soundtrack. Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid.
Dabu : Yup. Same song they played when Slim Pickens died in his wife's arms. Right?

Sin LaSalle : [Sarcastically] Gentlemen, thank you very much for that VH1 moment in music history.
