Quote context

- Damn these glasses, son.

- Yes, sir, I damn thee.

- Damn.

- Damn these glasses!

- Sir. I can fix those glasses.

- You can? Well, here, fix those suckers.

- Shit!

- Sir? Guess what? I fixed them.

- I was back there thinking, 'What causes glasses to slip on and off?' And it's because when you take them on and off, you're always putting pressure on the frames like this. It causes 'em to spread.

- So I put a little handle right here in the center, and it puts the pressure on the bridge where it belongs, just like the tie rods on a '72 Buick. Plus, I put a little nose break on them here to prevent slippage. Try it. Use the handle.

- I'll tell you what, if I can develop this gizmo, I'll split it with you fifty-fifty.

- $26.41.

- Here's $30. Keep the change.

- Wow! Thanks.

- Dead center! Say your prayers, half-breed!
