John Hawkes: Nixer

Quotes 

• Nixer : [trying to convince Dude not to go to the rumble]  I know you hate this town. I know you hate Teddy. I do, too. But I also know you love your music. So fight for what you love, not for what you hate.

• Nixer : [Dude has just combed an enormous amount of grease into his hair in the bathroom of the rollerskating rink]  Little dab'll do ya.

  Dude : Hell on wheels.

  [laughs] 

• Nixer : [holds up a French fry on a toothpick]  Looky here, J.T. From here

  [point at French fry] 

  Nixer : to eternity

  [points away from it] 

  Nixer : is the time before I was born. And from here

  [point to the other side of the French fry] 

  Nixer : to eternity

  [points away from it] 

  Nixer : is the time after I die. This...

  [points to the length of the French fry] 

  Nixer : is the only time I get... to do it.

  J.T. : [grabs the French fry]  You ain't doing nothing. You're gonna spend the rest of your days in this little town...

  [dips French fry around in ketchup on Nixer's plate] 

  J.T. : and you're gonna die here... with one of my burgers in your hand.

  [eats the French fry] 

  J.T. : And that's it.

• Dude : [Nixer jumps into Dude's car after hitting on Wanda]  Get the big part?

  Nixer : Hey, I nearly had her goin'.

  Donna : Are you sure she didn't have you going?

  Nixer : Only below the belly button.

  Donna : What?

  Nixer : Don't worry, I let it drain into my boots.

  Donna : Ecch!

• Nixer : [Dude pulls a bottle out of his refrigerator]  Throw me one of those, Dude.

  Dude : You couldn't catch a crab in a whorehouse.

• Dude : So whatcha ya gonna do?

  Nixer : Live out in the alleys with all the trash. People throw a lot of good things away.

• Miles : We harden our hearts, become callous. Only when we have to fight to stay human do we realize how precious it is.

  Nixer : Fight to stay human? Is that what it's all about?

  Miles : I don't know.

  Nixer : Say, I never seen you around here before. What'd you say your name was?

  Miles : I didn't say. I guess you could call me... Miles.

  Nixer : [offers his hand to shake]  Well, thanks a lot, Miles...

  [Miles has disappeared]
