Scott: I feel like such a loser.

Scott: I spent it.
Jack Lawrence: You spent IT? he spent money from drug dealers.
Dale Putley: Calm down, take it easy. Scott, you can't run from these guys. They'll find you. They'll come to your house, take all your money and then beat the shit out of you. Happened to me a few times.

Dale Putley: You're giving me your car, Jack? That's so Elvis of you.
