Quotes:

Penn: Ah, the revolution! Starting in the most unlikely of places: Trump Casino, Atlantic City!

Penn: You tied me to an operating table, forced Uncle Ernesto to go at my throat with a scalpel. That was funny.

[after a gunshot shatters a mirror]::Penn: Let me tell you something mister. That had better be a blank at that window, and a squib behind that mirror, because if you hired someone to fire off a real gun between us, I don't think that's funny. Actually a blank and a squib is only mildly funny.

[after Penn gets shot]::Woman in Parking Lot: In the shoulder, huh? Well, at that range you were lucky.::Penn: No! I just got shot, that's not lucky. Lucky is winning the lottery.::Woman in Parking Lot: Hey, aren't you that guy who goes on TV and asks people to kill him?::Penn: I didn't ask people to kill me, I said I wished someone were trying to kill me.::Woman in Parking Lot: You said that on national TV? There's a lot of nuts out there! You're lucky I don't have a gun or I'd blow your fucking brains out.::Penn: Yeah, I'm the luckiest guy in the world. Mr. Lucky just got shot in the arm!

Penn: Thanks. You've kept me alive and taught me a very important lesson: One should never go on national TV and beg psychopaths to kill one.

[the first time Teller has ever spoken on-camera]::Teller: Listen...::The Fan: [shocked] Come on, Teller! The audience knows Teller doesn't talk!

[last lines]::[narrating from beyond the grave as the camera pulls back]::Penn: [voice-over] Oh, yeah. We're dead and there's no way out. I mean, it couldn't be a gag, it couldn't be a joke. We're not gonna have one of the characters wake up from a bad dream; you'd hate us for that! I mean the movie is called 'Penn & Teller Get Killed.' We HAD to get killed at the end, there's no way out of that. We were married to that ending from the moment we thought of the title, and now we've actually killed off ourselves, and there's no taking that back. And this whole pullback, this is not us going to heaven. We're just dead. I mean, those were suicides, frowned upon by every major Western religion, and Atlantic City is in the Western world, so... Penn & Teller are dead. That's it. Thanks. Hope you enjoyed it. You can imagine the sequel thing is kind of a bitch.::Teller: [voice-over] Why didn't we just use different names?::Penn: Damn!

Penn: [to waitress] Gracias.::Carlotta: Very good! And how do you say "son of a hooker"?::Penn: Hijo de puta!::Carlotta: EE-ho de puta.::Penn: Hijo de puta. This is great! Now I can say "thank you", "son of a bitch", and "the dog is big and black". I'm becoming a world citizen!

[Teller is trying to pull a knife out of Penn]::Penn: What are you trying to do? Twist the knife? Look, pretty soon I'll pass out. Then I'll go into a coma, and then I'll die. During any one of *those* times you'll have *plenty* of opportunity to play around with the knife. Until then just keep your paws to yourself.

Penn: [to Teller] Better take the drain cleaner out of your mouth, this is getting serious...

Plot: While driving through the Arizona desert, Albuquerque based independent trucker Martin Penwald - who goes by the handle "Rubber Duck" - along with his fellow truckers "Pig Pen" and "Spider Mike", are entrapped by unscrupulous Sheriff Lyle "Cottonmouth" Wallace using a key tool of the trucker's trade, the citizens' band (CB) radio. Rubber Duck and Cottonmouth have a long, antagonistic history. When this encounter later escalates into a more physical one as Cottonmouth threatens Spider Mike, a man who just wants to get home to his pregnant wife, Rubber Duck and other the truckers involved, including Spider Mike, Pig Pen and "Widow Woman", go on the run, figuring the best thing to do being to head to New Mexico to avoid prosecution. Along for the ride is Melissa, a beautiful photographer who just wanted a ride to the airport. As news of what happened spreads over the CB airwaves, other truckers join their convoy as a show of support. Cottonmouth rallies other law enforcement officers throughout the southwest, they who soon learn that stopping Rubber Duck, the face of the now highly public standoff, is not as easy as shooting him and the truck due to his highly explosive cargo. As the standoff escalates, New Mexico Governor Jerry Haskins joins the fray, he who sees the strong public support for the truckers being something on which he can capitalize politically.

Quotes:

Rubber Duck: Piss on you, and piss on your law.

Melissa: Well I think I've had just about enough of this, thank you very much. I'll think I'll take my things and GET OUT. If you'll pull over to the side, I'm sure I can hitch a ride very easily... Weren't you listening to me? I said I'm ready to get out!::Rubber Duck: You want out? We're being chased. You want out? Jump.::Melissa: You want to add the Mann Act to your collection?::Rubber Duck: Mann Act's for 18 year olds, not someone who's seen the better side of thirty!

Sheriff Lyle Wallace aka Cottonmouth: You oughta be shot right where you're standing! So help me if I had a gun, I'd do it myself!::Rubber Duck: That badge would make it alright, wouldn't it?

Melissa: Why do they call you the Duck?::Rubber Duck: Because it rhymes with "luck." See, my daddy always told me to be just like a duck. Stay smooth on the surface and paddle like the devil underneath!

Rubber Duck: You ever seen a duck that couldn't swim? Quack, quack!

Governer Jerry Haskins: A lonely breed... hard men, proud men... not too proud to cry or shed a tear. The living embodiment of the American cowboy tradition. Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to honor this great native American son who gave his life for a cause so vital to us all, like so many great Americans before him had. As you can see, these truckers are going to start passing, paying their respects to their lost comrade, the Rubber Duck, in their Macks, their Jimmies, K-Whoppers, Fruitliners, garbage trucks, dump trucks and even limousines... Truckers all! From the covered wagons and trains to the 18-wheelers that keep this country alive... This controlled individualism made this cause so vital that I promise to take it to Washington and present it to the Senate myself.

Melissa: But they're all following you.::Rubber Duck: [looks at Melissa then road] No, they ain't. I'm just in front of them.

Widow Woman: [kicking her overturned truck in disgust] This piece of white shit! I knew I should've bought myself a black truck!

Chuck Arnoldi: We'd like to know, is this convoy some sort of protest demonstration? And if it is, what's its purpose?::Rubber Duck: Purpose of a convoy is to keep movin'.

Officer Bookman: My name is Bob Bookman, sir, and I hate truckers.
