- Hazel: 'Twas like where you're from weren't never there. Where you're going doesn't matter. And where you are ain't no good unless you can get away from it!

- Hazel: I thought if your girl give me so much fast eye back there I just might return some of it.

- Hazel: [repeated line, about his rusted-out, disintegrating car] This is a good car, Mister! This car can take me anywhere I wanna go!
