Quotes 

• Katy Webster : How much do you know about girls?

  Tod Stiles : Well, enough to know you never tell a girl you're with anything about the girls you've been with before, 'cause you never know; she might be the last one and you might want her to think she's the first.

• Roxy Dozy : [discussing Buz]  Doesn't he remind you of an eastern horned beetle?

  Tod Stiles : Frequently.

  Roxy Dozy : But I'm mad about him. He stimulates my mind. Most men don't think I have one, but Buz, he gets me thinking about all kinds of things.

  Tod Stiles : Yeah, that's Buz, alright.

• Cord Webster : No advice, Tod, except this. Don't stop being afraid. Not for a second. Without fear there are no heroes, only fools.

  Tod Stiles : Well, in that case, Mr. Webster, we ought to win for sure!

• Tod Stiles : [watching spellbound as race cars speed past]  Amadeo Coronado in a Maserati.

  Buz Murdock : Stuff's really got you going, hasn't it?

  Tod Stiles : Every cat's got his hustle.

• Len Statler : [desperate to find Roxy and Buz]  Are you sure you don't know where they are?

  Tod Stiles : Look, the last time I saw Buz he was at the track, and he said something about trying to scout up some action,

  Len Statler : Custer should have had him for a scout.

• Cord Webster : [discussing Tod's test drive in the Stanguellini]  Pushed her 'round in 58, huh?

  Tod Stiles : Let's say it pushed me. It's like riding a light beam through space. Makes you wish for a road ten thousand miles long, all turns and no ending.

  Cord Webster : Some see it that way. Not many, but some. Others see it as a trap, as an asphalt coffin.

• Tod Stiles : [discussing Roxy]  Hey, where you got her stashed?

  Buz Murdock : Library.

  Tod Stiles : In the public library?

  Buz Murdock : Y'see, you're just like all the rest of the guys. You take one look at a girl like Roxy and you say she can't have brains too. Well, I happen to know she wants to be an entomologist.

  Tod Stiles : Insects?

  Buz Murdock : Yeah. And she figures she's already earned her master's degree because she's met half the insects in Hollywood and Las Vegas.

  Tod Stiles : Well, let me ask you something. What does that make you?

  Buz Murdock : Well, she, uh, calls me her eastern horned beetle.

  Tod Stiles : Aww, now that's a pet name if I ever heard a pet name.

  Buz Murdock : Aw, shut up.

  Tod Stiles : Hey, beetle!

  Buz Murdock : Don't bug me!
