Francis Quote #60

Quote from Francis in Traffic Jam

Francis: Sugar, corn syrup and gelatine. How can something so simple be so delicious?
Joe: That stuff's nasty, Francis.
Francis: To the unsophisticated palate, yes. But to me, the candy quack is nature's perfect food. I think I can eat a hundred of them.
Joe: No way. All that marshmallow would expand in your stomach. You wouldn't even get past 50.
Francis: OK, that's where you're wrong, Joe. See the marshmallow wouldn't expand. It would dissolve. I'd never get full. In fact, I don't think-
Eric: Will you just shut up! I have sat back and said nothing while you've gone on and on about how you can eat a hundred of this and lift a hundred of that. The quacks would expand. You're an idiot if you think different.
Francis: OK, let me tell you something. If I say I can eat a hundred quacks, you can take that as a bona fide guarantee. And there's no need to resort to personal attacks. Because I'd hate to raise the whole issue of you wearing boxers in the shower.

Quote from Dewey

Dewey: And then the ambulance came, but there was this balloon. And then I was chasing it. And then I didn't know where I was. And then I chased a bag. And then I really didn't know where I was. Then I saw you, and I thought maybe you could help me. [Dewey is talking to a scarecrow] Because you've helped that other girl, the one in the movie. So if you could just come to life and help me, I'd really appreciate it. [silence] Thanks anyway.

Quote from Hal

Hal: Think about it, Lois. I stopped to tie my shoe in the parking lot. If I hadn't done that, we would've been on the road 20 seconds sooner. I would've been 200 yards ahead of where I was. And then I would've been the silver Toyota.
Lois: And if you hadn't rented Body Heat we never would have had Dewey. It's all an intricate tapestry, Hal.
