Conflict Between Experience and Ambition
Pappas Listen - forget about it, kid. They are ghosts.
Johnny Utah Yeah, of course. What am I thinking? If you couldn't crack it with all your years of experience, it's impossible to conceive that I might have something to offer, right? Well, maybe I can do better than some over-the-hill burnout.
Pappas Watch your mouth.
Johnny Utah Maybe you just ought to take some early retirement right now, and take some rent-a-cop night security job, tell Nam stories--
Pappas Listen, you snot-nosed little shit! I was takin shrapnel in Khe Sanh when you were crappin in your hands and rubbin it on your face!
Pappas Yeah, I'm mad!
Pappas Yeah, I'm mad! Whatcha gonna do about it?!
Bodhi's Conflict with Violence and Control
Bodhi I hate this Johnny. I really do. I hate violence. That is why I had Rosie do this, I could never do that man, I could never hold a knife to Tyler's throat, she was my woman, we shared time. But, Rosie, he's like a machine. He's got this gift of blankness. Once you set him in motion, he will not stop. So, when three o'clock comes, he will gut her like a pig, and try not to get any on his shoes and there is nothing I can do.
Questioning FBI's Surfing Training Offer
Johnny Utah You're sayin the FBI's gonna pay me to learn to surf?
Embrace the Wave's Energy and Flow

Tensions Rise Among Undercover Agents
Ben Harp Special agent Utah! This is not some job, flipping burgers at the local drive-in! Yes! - your surf board bothers me! Yes! - your approach to this whole damn case bothers me! And yes! - YOU BOTHER ME! And Pappas! Oh, for the love of Christ. How the hell did I even let you talk me into this whole bone-headed idea to begin with?!
Pappas Harp! We are working under-cover. It takes time. We've produced a few...
Ben Harp NO, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO! Let me tell you what you've produced! Over the last two weeks, you two have produced exactly squat! SQUAT! During which time, the Ex-Presidents have robbed two more banks! Now for Christ's sake, does either one of you have anything even remotely interesting to tell me?
Johnny Utah I caught my first tube today... sir.

Extreme Hunger and Cravings
Angelo Pappas I'm so hungry I could eat the ass end out of a dead rhino, I should have had you get me three of these things!
Tension Between Colleagues in Law Enforcement
Pappas Don't ride him in with the black and whites like some punk, let me ride him in.
[of Johnny, after the last robbery]
Ben Harp Yeah sure, Angelo, why not? That is why I put you 2 screw-ups to begin with. You deserve each other, don't you? You're just as bad as he is, though you're a little fatter, a little slower and a little more pathetic. For Christ sake, it's like the blind leading the blind with you.
Pappas Harp, I want to tell you something. I was in this bureau when you were still popping zits on your funny face and jerking off with the lingerie section of the Sears catalog.
Ben Harp Is that right, Pappas?
Pappas Yes, that's right "Harp", and out of all these years, I have learned something that you still haven't got.
Ben Harp Yeah? Why don't you astonish me, shitface?
Pappas Respect for my elders.
[punches Harp in the face]
The Power of Fear and Hesitation
Bodhi 90 seconds Johnny. That's all I ask for, just 90 seconds of your life Johnny, that's it. This is our tactic, is we strike fear. It's basic dog psychology, if you scare them and get them peeing down their leg, they submit. But if you project weakness, that promotes violence, and that's how people get hurt.
[getting ready for their next robbery]
Bodhi Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation causes your worst fears to come true.
[hands Johnny a shot gun]
Johnny Utah I can't do this.
Bodhi Yes, you can. Who knows, you might like it.
Johnny Utah Bodhi, this is your fucking wake-up call man. I am an F, B, I, Agent!
Bodhi Yeah, I know man. Ain't it wild? That's what makes it so interesting. You can do what you want, and make up your own rules. Why be a servant to the law, when you can be its master?
Grommet Fuckin A!
Nathanial I love this job.
