Quotes:

Artie: I'm gonna hang up before I catch that new kind of AIDS, hearing AIDS, the kind you get from listening to assholes.

Artie: You know how to keep a dog from humping your leg? Pick up the dog and suck his dick.

Debra Lusanne: Controversy is the oxygen I breathe.

Bill Hill: Let me tell you something I learned in Alcoholics Anonymous, it's a shortened version of the Serenity prayer, "Kiss my custom-fitted ass."

Lynn Marie Faulkner: [why Brother Juvenal left the Franciscan Order] I don't know, maybe something about it irritated him, like Audrey Hepburn in The Nun's Story.

August Murray: Hey if he was comin' in here to take somethin' of mine, you're damn right, I'd shoot to kill. Now if God wants to have mercy on their souls, that's up to him, but I'd shoot to kill!

Juvenal aka Charlie Lawson: well, you know something I don't. I bleed from five wounds and heal people, but I've never been in love.

Debra Lusanne: You say you believe in God. You say you don't believe in the Church. the church believes in God. Who's right?::Juvenal aka Charlie Lawson: It's not about being right. The Pharisees, they wanted to be right, and they were up to a point. It's about BEING. Being kind. Being patient. Being Loving. Forgiving. Not judging. Drawing out the best in the other. Seeing the presence of Christ in everything and everyone.

Elwin Worrel: You know, Virginia's mother gave us these dishes when we got married. Christ, 21 years ago, I hated these God-damned dishes. they got rosebuds on 'em like a little girl's tea-set you know. All that time, you know, you get through your mashed potatos, and you wipe your gravy, and there's those god-damned rosebuds lookin' at ya!

Juvenal aka Charlie Lawson: My real name's Charlie Lawson.::Lynn Marie Faulkner: Charlie? Come on.::Juvenal aka Charlie Lawson: There was a Saint Charles.::Lynn Marie Faulkner: yeah? What did he do?::Juvenal aka Charlie Lawson: I don't know, probably got martyred.::Lynn Marie Faulkner: [laughs] Well, how on earth did you get 'Juvenal'?::Juvenal aka Charlie Lawson: well, when you go into the order, you pick three names. I liked Raphael, or Anthony. They showed me a list, said 'pick something else' I said "um, I guess Juvenal"
