(Lyla sees Santiago walking out of the reform school)
Lyla: Hey, if this is your escape plan, it needs work. (drives up next to him) I was just kidding. I heard you got out. Congratulations.
Santiago: Yeah, I'm on probation now. Congratulations!
Lyla (to herself): Okay. (drives to Santiago and opens door to offer him a ride)
Santiago: What are you tryin' to do?
Lyla: I-I'm puttin' my money where my mouth is. Come on. (edit)
(After Jason bails Tim out of jail in Mexico)
Tim: Sweet, Six. Took you long enough. Now those gals are probably gone.
Jason: Shut your mouth, Riggins! I should have left you in there all damn night. Sad sorry ass! I'm not supposed to be spending my money on your bail.
Tim: Yeah, it's my fault we find the only honest cop in Mexico.
Jason: Shut your ass, Riggins! You know this money's for my surgery. It's not for your damn bail.
Tim: What's your problem, Six?
Jason: You know what? I came down here for a reason, all right? I know you think it's stupid, but guess what--it's not. You go ahead and get loaded tonight and catch syphilis from whatever skanky jailbait, random hooker or whore you can find on the street, but I'm going back to the hotel! (wheels himself away)
Tim: Can you at least buy me a couple of tacos? (edit)
Coach McGregor: Don't piss on my boots and tell me it's raining. (edit)
