• Bus Bartender : What'll it be, sir?

  Emery Bush : What difference does it make? I've only got six months to live.

  Tommy Joyce : [singing]  Hey! Six months to live, that's all they'll give him, six months to live! Not much time to live... He may see summer, but he won't see fall, so forget about Christmas. Thank you!

  Emery Bush : I'll be dead in six months. But before I die, I promised myself I'm going to see the Seven Wonders of the World. I'm starting with the Rockies.

  Bus Bartender : The Rockies aren't one of the Seven Wonders.

  Emery Bush : They're not?

  Tommy Joyce : There are no winners in a game of losers!

• Dr. Kurtz : I know what bitterness is. I shake hands with it every morning.

  Emery Bush : Oh, yeah? I haven't lived yet - now I'm gonna die!

  Dr. Kurtz : You call that bitterness? You don't know what it is. They disbarred me for life!

  Emery Bush : But they didn't disbar you *from* life. Go ahead, talk bitterness with me now!

  Dr. Kurtz : I'm through talking bitterness! I wanna talk hate. What do you hate?

  Emery Bush : I hate this piano player.

  Tommy Joyce : [Forced grin]  Thank you!
