• Rita : Daddy, you're not supposed to be smoking.

  Winston : Oh, no, no. This is just some assorted herbs, some cheeba.

  Don Johnston : Let me see that

  [takes a drag of cigarette] 

  Don Johnston : Yep, it's just cannabis sativa.

• Winston : Is something wrong?

  Don Johnston : It's probably nothing.

  Winston : A love letter, from one of your lovely ladies?

  Don Johnston : Something like that. I'll read it to you. "Dear Don. Sometimes life brings some strange surprises. Its been almost 20 years since we've seen each other, but, now there's something I need to tell you. Years ago, after our story ended, I discovered I was pregnant. I decided to go through with the pregnancy and I had a baby. A son, your son. I decided to raise him by myself because our time together had come to a close. My son is now almost 19. He's somewhat shy and secretive, unlike you. But, a sensitive wonderful person. A few days ago he left on a mysterious road trip. But, I'm almost certain he's searching for his father. I've told him almost nothing about you. But, he's resourceful and imaginative. Anyway, if this is, in fact, your correct address, well, I just felt I should let you know." There was no signature and no return address.

  Winston : Hey, congratulations! You're a father!

• Winston : Cool. Cool. Cool. Ohhhh, this is my kind of information, man.

  [snaps fingers, three times] 

  Winston : I love the net! Ha-ha-ha. The whole world of information, through the one, click.

• Winston : You are the Don Juan.
