" No." "I think you're a moron." "And I don't want to get in trouble." "You care." "First the money, now this." "Oh, that's so sweet." "Oh, you fabulous guy!" "Don't hug me in public again." "Okay?"

"Jack, I thought you saw him." "Saw who?" "The Red Knight." "Okay." "I gave you the money." "You want to keep it, fine." "You want to give it away, fine." "I just want you to know I did give him the money." "Okay?" "Are we clear?" "[Sighs]" "Who are you talking to, Jack?" "[Man, High Voice] Help me, somebody, please!"

"Yeah, but what about Slim Keith, that little Guggenheim girl?" "Impostors!" "Leave me alone!" " Jack, come on." "Lend a hand." " Listen, he just needs to sleep it off." " Somebody will take care of him." " Who, Mother Teresa?" "She's retired." "Come on." "It's just us." "Let's go." "Maybe he wants to stay here." "Do you want to stay here?" "Oh, yeah, sure."

"And God, I absolutely lived for it." "I can do Gypsy... every part." "I can do it backwards." "But then one night, right in the middle of singing # Funny #... suddenly it hit me..."

"He gets his nuts so tight in a vise... that he starts questioning the very fabric of his existence." "Then one day, about quitting time, the boss calls him into the office... and says, "Hey, Bob, why don't you come on in here... and kiss my ass for me, will you?"" "Well, he says, "Hell with it." "I don't care what happens." "I just want to see the expression on his face... as I jam this pair of scissors into his arm ."" "[Sighs] Then he thinks of me." "He says, "Wait a minute."

"Running around here during the day is one thing... but at night we could be killed by a wide variety of people." "That's stupid, Jack." "I mean, this park is mine just as much as it is theirs." "Do you think it's fair that they can keep us out... 'cause they make us think we might get killed or something?" " Yes, I think it's very fair." " Well, I don't." " What are you doing?" " I'm cloud busting, Jack." "You ever done it?" "You lie on your back and concentrate on the clouds... and you break 'em apart with your mind." " But you have to be nude though, Jack." " You can't do this." " You can't defuse the psychic energy." " This is New York." "No one's allowed to be naked in a field in New York." " It's too Midwestern." " Come on, Jack." "It's wild." "It's really freeing!" "The air on your body, your nipples are hard, the little guy's dangling in the wind." " Hey, hey." "Come on." " Come on, Jack." "You're pissing me off." "Hey." "We're bare-ass naked in the middle of it!" "I'm not doing this." "This is nuts!" "I'm leaving." "Jack, free yourself." "You know why dogs do this?" "It feels good, Jack!" "I'm not doing that." "Yes!" "Yo!" " I'm leaving." " Come on, Jack." "Get back to your roots." "[Barking]" "The man talks to invisible people, he sees invisible horses... and he's lying naked in the middle of Central Park." "I should be surprised?" "I'm not surprised."

"Bastards." "Jack, I may be going out on a limb here, but you don't seem like a happy camper." "Did you ever hear the story of the Fisher King?" "No." "It begins with the king as a boy... having to spend the night alone in the forest... to prove his courage so he can become king." "While he's spending the night alone... he's visited by a sacred vision." "Out of the fire appears the Holy Grail... the symbol of God's divine grace." "And a voice said to the boy, "You shall be keeper of the grail... so that it may heal the hearts of men."" "But the boy was blinded by greater visions... of a life filled with power and glory and beauty." "In this state of radical amazement... he felt, for a brief moment, not like a boy... but invincible... like God." "So he reached in the fire to take the grail... and the grail vanished... leaving him with his hand in the fire to be terribly wounded." "Now, as this boy grew older... his wound grew deeper... until one day... life for him lost its reason." "He had no faith in any man, not even himself." "He couldn't love... or feel loved." "He was sick with experience." "He began to die." "One day, a fool wandered into the castle... and found the king alone." "Now, being a fool, he was simpleminded." "He didn't see a king." "He only saw a man alone and in pain." "And he asked the king, "What ails you, friend?"" "The king replied, "I'm thirsty." "I need some water to cool my throat."" "So the fool took a cup from beside his bed, filled it with water... and handed it to the king." "And as the king began to drink... he realized his wound was healed." "He looked in his hands, and there was the Holy Grail... that which he sought all of his life." "He turned to the fool and said with amazement..." ""How could you find that which my brightest and bravest could not?"" "The fool replied, "I don't know." "I only knew that you were thirsty."" "It's very beautiful, isn't it?" "I think I heard that at a lecture once." "I don't know." "It was, um... a professor." "It's..." "At Hunter." "Parry?" "Hun..." "Parry." " Hey." "Parry." " [Gasps]" " Jack." " Hey."

"Well, maybe after we get the grail." "No, but, see, she could help you get the grail." "You know, I mean, women are great." "They make homes and they kill the livestock... so the knights can go out there and get grails... and slaughter villages with a clear head, huh?" "Where would King Arthur be without Guinevere, huh?" "Happily married, probably." "Well, that's a bad..." "That's a bad example." "But trust me on this." "A woman who loves you... keeps you going, gives you strength... makes you feel like you can do anything." "Is that what your girlfriend does for you?" "Sure." "Yeah." "Mmm." "[Groans]" "Mmm!"
