Quotes 

• Henry : Preston Waters, you know what you've got? S-T-Y-L-E.

  Preston Waters, Henry : Style!

• Henry : Get yourself some flowers, good clothes, good food, a car, and learn how to use words like 'non-committal', and you are a date and a half, Man.

• Henry : You know what they say about gold.

  Preston Waters : He who has the gold makes the rules?

  Henry : No, no, no, no, no, no. A fool and his gold are soon parted.

  Preston Waters : What does that mean?

  Henry : I don't know. It's an old saying, Man. Like, there's more than one way to skin a cat, you hear that one? Who skins cats? Why would you skin a cat? And there is not more than one way to skin a cat, there is only one way! You grab the cat and rip the skin off. What's a number two way? Do you put a hose up the cat's butt and he gets so bloated that he skins himself? Does he have a piece of velcro under his butt there, we just unvelcro him? No.

• Shay Stanley : I'm a little out of shape.

  Henry : Not from where I'm sitting you're not.

• Henry : Kill two birds with one stone, you heard that one? You know anybody who's actually killed one bird with one stone? Kids try it all the time. You can't hit a bird with a stone unless you have a giant rock and a little baby bird. Well anyway, a fool and his gold are soon parted. I guess that means that if you're a fool and soon your gold is gone and once it's gone, it's outta there, it's dust, it's vapour, it is no more, you are living in Brokesville, unless you have Macintosh's kind of money.

  Preston Waters : What if you don't?

  Henry : Then I guess you find out who your real friends are.

• [looking over the dinner table at Mr. Macintosh's party] 

  Preston Waters : There was supposed to be ice cream and pizza. What's going on?

  Henry : This could've been a pizza, you know, before it was run over by a couple of trucks.

• Henry : I'm waiting for a client.

  Preston Waters : But I'm your client.

  Henry : Right, yeah, and I'm Madonna. Sorry, Kid, the boss doesn't like me taking baseball cards as payment so if you wanna ride in this here limo you need some buckeroos, buckerinis, some moolah, some deniro, some frog skins, much similar to the money... In fact identical to the money you've given me now. I was just kidding about being Madonna. The name's Henry.

• Henry : You wanna move that horse? What is this? Bonanza?
