Quotes:

Hesher: Do you think she shaves her pussy?

Hesher: You gonna try and fuck her?::T.J.: No.::Hesher: Well that's good? Cus' can't fuck her from here dude. Gotta be way closer.

Hesher: You lost your wife. And you lost your mom. I lost my nut.

Hesher: I pulled this gas tank from an old Chevy. I wanted to blow it up, so I did. What I didn't think about was all the little bits of metal that were going to fly out in every direction. I almost killed myself. I woke up in this hospital and this doctor was like, "Son..." and I said "Don't call me son, you fucking cunt." And he was like, "You blew off your nut." pause I just lost my nut, like that. I went fucking crazy. I assaulted a nurse or a doctor, I don't really remember. I got arrested. I went to juvee. All I could think about was my fucking nut, man. I'm missing a nut. What am I going to do? I had to go looking for it, right? So I busted out of juvee and I went searching. I couldn't find my nut. pause Well, there was this one night I was sitting there and I was taking a shit and I was looking at my balls and I was staring at this little piece of flabby sack where my left nut used to be. And then I saw my right nut for the first time. I was like FUCK MAN, MY NUT! Look I have one, I still have a nut. Right? It's a good nut, it works. God or the fucking devil or whoever the fuck it is you know he left me with one good nut. I still have a fucking nut and it works. And my fucking dick works too. pause Okay, you lost your wife. And you lost your mom. I lost my nut.

Nicole: What did I do to deserve this chain reaction of shit all the time?

Quotes:

Mats, Steel Dragon Road Manager: Whatever rolls your beanie baby.

Ghode, Steel Dragon Guitarist: [Spoken during the credits] After the nuclear holocost, the survivors will crawl out of the rubble, in the dark, light a fire and then one man, The Singer of Songs will sing and that's the essence of Rock n Roll.

Chris: You're gay?::Bobby: No, I got both my nipples pierced and bought a house in Morocco because I'm John fucking Wayne!

Chris: I don't want to be in some cut-rate cover band that butchers the music the people come to hear, just so you can play your crappy originals!::Rob: Crappy originals? I think "Whole and a half" kicks ass, and I'm proud as shit to have written it.::Chris: Yeah? I guess that's why we get so many requests for it.

Chris: Well yeah Rob, maybe you can write me a song about why the hell I would ever want to do that!

Reporter: So Izzy... how do you keep your voice is such fine shape?::Chris: Well, my choir teacher gave me a lot of lessons...::Kirk: [interrupting] He eats a lot of pussy.::Chris: Oh yeah, I eat a lot of pussy... tons...

Rob: Bradley's our new front man.::Chris: You've made your point... now, get him... out.::Rob: See this? This is the new PA he brought with him. Oh and that... that's the mixing board he brought with him too.::Chris: Have you heard the voice he's brought with him?

Bradley: Maybe you can make me some pants like his... or did your girlfriend already rip out the seats in the Dodge?

Emily: Oh no no... I could make you a pair of those. But first you gotta tell me what you shove in there to make people think you're a guy.

Joe: Isn't the rock star fantasy thing something you're supposed to grow out of... like around 14?
