Allen Joseph Quotes

Mr. X Well Henry, what do you know?

Henry Oh, I don't know much of anything.

Mr. X The girls have heard this before but... 14 years ago I had an operation on my left arm here. The doctors said that I wouldn't be able to ever use it. But what the hell do they know, I said. So I rubbed it for a half hour every day. And slowly I could move it a little, and use it to turn a faucet... and pretty soon I had my arm back again. And now, I can't feel a damn thing in it. All numb! I'm afraid to cut it, you know?

Mr. X I thought I heard a stranger. We've got chicken tonight. Strangest damn things. They're man-made. Little damn things, smaller than my fist - but they're new!...... I'm Bill.

Henry Hello. I'm Henry.

Mrs. X Henry's at Lappell's factory.

Mr. X So, printin's yer business, eh? Plumbin's mine. Thirty years! I've watched this neighborhood change from pastures to the hell-hole it is now! I put every damn pipe in this town!

Mary X Dad!..

Mrs. X Bill...

Mr. X People think pipes grow in their homes! Well they sure as hell don't. Look at my knees! Look at my knees!

Mrs. X Bill...

Mr. X Are ya hungry?

Mrs. X Bill...

Mr. X Mary usually does the carving but tonight since you are our guest, you could do it, Henry. All right with you?

Henry Of course. I'd be happy to. So I just, uh... I just cut them up like regular chickens?

Mr. X Sure, just cut them up like regular chickens.
