Father Mickey: Tom, I, uh, I don't know what you want me to say.
Tommy: Mick... I want you to say that it's all... it's bullshit. You know? There is no plan, there is no map. There's no golden ring at the end of the ride. It's just... bullshit. You know? [sighs] I want you to take away the hope, man, that's the thing that's killing me. You know,it's just... it's like, uh... I'm just hanging here, man. Hope is making me think I can fix my marriage, you know? The day of Jimmy's funeral... you stood up on that altar and you said, "Sometimes we don't know why God does the things that he does." But I'm telling you... Mick... if he takes my little girl tonight... I'm going to want to know why.
Father Mickey: That's why you got to hold on to the hope, Tom. 'Cause in the end, that's all we got left.
Tommy: Mick... I want you to say that it's all... it's bullshit. You know? There is no plan, there is no map. There's no golden ring at the end of the ride. It's just... bullshit. You know?

Tommy: You remember that blonde that we met at the Bubble Bar last month? You were with me, right?
Franco: Yeah, yeah. The one you banged that night?
Tommy: Actually, I've been banging her ever since, but I don't know her name.
Franco: Damn. How're you pulling that off?
Tommy: Well, it's like a late night booty-call. Not a lot of conversation, you know?
Franco: Yeah, those are the best.
Tommy: Well, I gotta come up with a name soon, man.
Franco: Yeah. You know what? You could do that thing where you introduce her to somebody. You say the other person's name but not hers, and then she has to say "Hi, I'm..." Fill in the blank.
Tommy: Never gonna work.
Franco: Why not?
Tommy: Because I never take this chick out in public.
Franco: Ah, yeah.
Tommy: See?
Franco: Yeah, you got yourself a real goddamn dilemma there.
Tommy: Yeah, broads. It's not enough that you're bangin' 'em like crazy, now you gotta know their names.
