They always freak out when you leave the scene of an accident, you know?::Harry: Yeah, well, I lost my job too.::Lloyd: Man, you are one pathetic loser. No offense.::Harry: No, none taken. You know what really chaps my ass though? I spent my life savings turning my van into a dog. The alarm alone cost me two hundred.::Lloyd: Hey, chicks love it. It's a shaggin' wagon.

[to the dogs in his van]::Harry: OK gang, you know the rules, no humping, no licking, no sniffing hineys.

Lloyd: All we need to do is show a little class, a little sophistication, and we're in like a dirty shirt.::Harry: No problem, Lloyd. We can be classy and sophistic... Oh check out the funbags on that hosehound.::Lloyd: I'd like to eat her liver with some fava beans and a nice bottle of Chianti.

Harry: I expected the Rocky Mountains to be a little rockier than this.::Lloyd: I was thinking the same thing. That John Denver's full of shit, man.

Quotes:

Robert Conway: I think I'm going to like it here.

[last lines]::Lord Gainsford: Gentlemen, I give you a toast. Here's my hope that Robert Conway will find his Shangri-La. Here's my hope that we all find our Shangri-La.

[a content Conway concluding a romantic interlude with Sondra]::Robert Conway: You know, when we were on that plane, I was fascinated by the way the shadow followed us. That silly shadow! Racing along over mountains and valleys, covering ten times the distance of the plane, and yet always there to greet us... with outstretched arms when we landed. And I've been thinking that, somehow, you're that plane, and I'm that silly shadow. That all my life I've been rushing up and down hills, leaping rivers, crashing over obstacles, never dreaming that one day that beautiful thing in flight would land on this earth and into my arms.

High Lama: I wanted to meet the Conway who in one of his books said: "There are moments in every mans life, when he glimpses the eternal". That Conway seemed to belong here.

High Lama: It is the entire meaning and purpose of Shangri-La. It came to me in a vision, long, long ago. I saw all the nations strengthening, not in wisdom, but in the vulgar passions and the will to destroy. I saw the machine power multiplying, until a single weaponed man might match a whole army. I foresaw a time when man, exalting in the technique of murder, would rage so hotly over the world, that every book, every treasure, would be doomed to destruction. This vision was so vivid and so moving, that I determined to gather together all things of beauty and of culture that I could, and preserve them here, against the doom toward which the world is rushing. Look at the world today. Is there anything more pitiful? What madness there is! What blindness! What unintelligent leadership! A scurrying mass of bewildered humanity, crashing headlong against each other, propelled by an orgy of greed and brutality. A time must come my friend, when this orgy will spend itself. When brutality and the lust for power must perish by its own sword. Against that time, is why I avoided death, and am here. And why you were brought here. For when that day comes, the world must begin to look for a new life. And it is our hope that they may find it here. For here, we shall be with their books and their music, and a way of life based on one simple rule: Be Kind! When that day comes, it is our hope that the brotherly love of Shangri-La will spread throughout the world. Yes, my son; When the strong have devoured each other, the Christian ethic may at last be fulfilled and the meek shall inherit the earth.::Robert Conway: I understand you father.

Robert Conway: George, didn't you ever want to know what's on the other side of the mountain?

Chang: Age is a limit we impose upon ourselves. You know, each time you Westerners celebrate your birthday, you build another fence around your minds.

Alexander P. 'Lovey' Lovett: Conway, I don't like this place! It's too mysterious!

[first lines]::Book Pages: In these days of wars and rumors of wars - haven't you ever dreamed of a place where there was peace and security, where living was not a struggle but a lasting delight? / Of course you have. So has every man since time began. Always the same dream. Sometimes he calls it Utopia - Sometimes the Fountain of Youth - Sometimes merely "that little chicken farm." / One man had such a dream and saw it come true. He was Robert Conway - England's "Man of the East" - soldier, diplomat, public hero. / Our story starts in the war-torn Chinese city of Baskul, where Robert Conway has been sent to evacuate ninety white people before they are butchered in a local revolution. / Baskul - the night of March 10, 1935.

Alexander P. 'Lovey' Lovett: [seeing banquet spread] Well I, I just feel as though I'm being made ready for the executioner.::Barnard: [sniffing foods] Yeah, well if this be executioner, lead me to it.::Alexander P. 'Lovey' Lovett: That's what they do with cattle, just before the slaughter.
