Quotes

add »
Sock: Money. Money, schmoney. Come on, if I'd worried about money my whole life, where do you think I'd be? (edit)
Ben: "Something we'll regret?" What the hell does that mean?
Sock: It means we're about this close to becoming demon dinner. Hey, you guys want a Sock, Sam, and Ben Muffin? They're nutritious and delicious. (edit)
The Devil: Ah, narcissism. One of my favorite virtues. (edit)
Sock: So we're dealing with a hot soul that kills even hotter women? Is there anything wrong that I'm aroused and disgusted at the same time?
Ben: Yeah, probably, but you shouldn't wouldn't beat yourself up over it.
Sock: Thanks, Benjy. (edit)
Steve: Okay, the homphobe thing, all right, I don't agree with but I understand. But... fallen angels, doomed to walk the Earth for eternity. That weirds you out?
Sam: It's not normal.
Steve: Biology vs. society, what's normal, Sam? You're a Reaper? I play racquetball with Gladys, she told me. (edit)
Sam: Have you guys eaten anybody?
Tony: That's offensive.
Steve: We don't have to listen to this.
Tony: That's offensive. (edit)
Sam: Sock! Focus!
Sock: I'm sorry, Sam, I couldn't help but notice that poor Brazilian super-model isn't wearing any underwear.
Ben: Geez, woman, show some respect.
Sock: Really. (edit)
(capturing the soul)
Sam: Say goodnight, bitch. (edit)
Sock: Hey, did the doctors x-ray you?
Andi: Yes.
Sock: Good. I have a theory about radiation. You're exposed to enough in your lifetime, you have a greater chance of getting... cooler mutant powers.
Andi: Yeah, but I don't think I really want mutant powers, Sock. (edit)
Sock: Hey, why don't we go and scope out some candy-stripers. Childhood fantasy of mine (edit)
Ben: I mean, they're like our cool, fun uncles.
Sock: Benji, have you ever had a cool, fun uncle?
Ben: Uncle Hector.
Sock: Uncles are creepy by definition, okay? Have you not been watching your SVU? (edit)
Devil: Serious question for you. Are you a boob man, ass man, leg man? What's your preference?
Sam: I'm not having this conversation.
Devil: I've always been more of an ass man myself.
Sam: Would you stop it?
Devil: Come on, what's a little locker room talk between friends?
Sam: We're not friends. (edit)
(at a gay bar)
Sam: Of course you swing both ways.
Devil: Hey, at least I swing, baby. (edit)
Sam: You think you could get me and the guys into this party?
Steve: Well, aren't you the little heterosexual? (edit)
Devil: Oh, come on. A lifetime of meaningless, cheap, one-night stands won't be so bad. Who knows? In time, you may learn to enjoy yourself, like moi. (edit)
Devil: Hey, good boy, Sammy. My heart's bursting with pride. Want to go to a strip club? I know one with a great free buffet. (edit)

Trivia

add »

Allusions

add »
Sock: Uncles are creepy by definition, okay. Have you not been watching your SVU?
Referencing the spin-off series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. The NBC show is about a squad of detectives who deal with sexually-based crimes. (edit)
The Devil: I thought you'd never ask, Dorothy. Hold on to your ruby slippers.
Referencing the classic The Wizard of Oz (1939), starring Judy Garland as Dorothy. Later in the episode, the escaped soul being swept up in a bubble resembles Glinda, the Good Witch, arriving in a magical bubble. (edit)
Acid Queen
The episode is named after a song from the Who's rock opera Tommy; in this particular song, Tommy's parents take him to see a gypsy (or, as she calls herself, Acid Queen) to cure his condition, which she attempts to do by loading Tommy up with hallucinogenic drugs. In the movie version, the Queen was played by Tina Turner, who also sang the song. (edit)
