• Doc : Paterson, you still don't got a cell phone?

  Paterson : Uh, no. No, I don't want one. It would be a leash.

  Doc : What about the better half, she got one?

  Paterson : She's got one, yeah. And the laptop, and an iPad...

  Doc : She doesn't want you to get one?

  Paterson : No. She's okay about it. She understands me really well.

  Doc : [mutters]  A lucky guy.

• Everett : You love somebody, more than anything in the whole damn world. You... worship her. You don't wanna be *alive* without her, and... she says she doesn't want you. You're just... dirt.

  Doc : Damn brother! You should be an actor.

  Everett : [nods]  I am... an actor.

  [Paterson turns his head away and tries not to laugh] 

• Doc : I'm getting my ass kicked today.

  Paterson : Who you playing?

  Doc : Myself.

• Paterson : Is there anything we can do?

  Doc : Nah, I always say don't try to change things or you'll make them even worse.

• Doc : Lou Costello has got to be the most famous person from Paterson.

  Paterson : Yeah, probably. Yeah, I mean, he... he's got that statue, and he's got his own park.

  Doc : Hey, I mean Alexander Hamilton has a statue, others got statues, but not they own park! Hell, even Fetty Wap don't have no park!
