Loomis: It was an accident, Phyllis.
Phyllis: Oh, you know? So was Chernobyl.
Grimm: True, but Loomis didn't irradiate anybody.
Chief Rotzinger: Listen, I've had just about enough of your comedy, clown. We're coming in through the plate glass.
Grimm: Alright, I gotta hang-up now, because I gotta go kill everybody.
[getting on a bus]
Phyllis: What's that smell?
Grimm: Used wine.
Grimm: And he said 'Baby, up your butt with a coconut!' Except... there was no coconut. He didn't have a coconut to my knowledge.
[Hispanic woman is shouting on a street corner]
Grimm: There must be alot of competition for that corner.
Phyllis: It's a good thing she's not too symbolic or anything.
Loomis: what does that mean anyway? Flores por el muerte?
Grimm: I sure couldn't tell ya'.
Phyllis: Aw, you know Grimm, it means flowers for the dead.
[shoots her an angry glare]
Loomis: Oh! We're all gonna die! We're a-a-a-ll gonna d-i-i-e!
Grimm: [frustrated, to bus driver] You better get some help! You're becoming Ralph Kramden's evil twin!
[shouting for a cab]
Loomis: Ten thousand dollars for a taxi!
Phyllis: And a blow job!
Grimm: If I can sleep ten days and nights in a rice patty, I can certainly last in this lousy bank!
[last lines]
Chief Rotzinger: [getting into car] Hey, we gotta commend this Skipowski... I mean, Chipowski.
[Rotzinger pops out of car and looks in total disbelief at the plane taking off]
Grimm: I booked the eleven o'clock to Martinique.
Phyllis: Martinique?
Loomis: Martinique? But I don't know anything about Martinique.
Grimm: What did you know about Fiji?
Loomis: Well... nothing.
Loomis: It's bad luck just SEEING a thing like that!
Phyllis: To the God-damned AIRPORT!
Loomis: Whatta got? Shit in your ears?
Loomis: You aren't going to hit me again are you?
Grimm: I haven't hit anybody since I was nine.
Loomis: Yeah, but it was me you hit!
[Loomis is driving the car backwards]
Phyllis: [sarcastically] Oh, we're REALLY making good time now.
Phyllis: Grimm? You've got a gun - shoot them.
Grimm: I want to, but shooting fur-bearing idiots would require a permit.
[to construction workers, sarcastically]
Grimm: I want to thank you. You could've given us help, but you've given us so much more.
Street Sign Worker: [cheerfully] Hey! What's what we're here for, huh?
Loomis: Is that our plane?
Phyllis: No, if it were our plane, it would be crashing.
Phyllis: A real man? Who has to use a gun and hold people prisoner? You're not a man. You're a coward.
Hostage: She does not speak for the rest of us Mr. Clown. We think that you are quite brave and manly.
Phyllis: You big PUSSY! You're all a bunch of PUSSIES!
[boarding a plane at JFK]
Flight Attendant: Do you think you're late enough?
Grimm: Oh, you must be from around here.
Loomis: Please God! We need a cab! One lousy fuckin' cab!
Hugh: [to other hostages] Can it, here comes Clarabelle.
[Johnny holds a gun to Grimm's back]
Johnny: This ain't my dick in your back!
Grimm: That's a relief.
Phyllis: [comforting Loomis] Nothing's your fault...
[hits Loomis]
Phyllis: ... except you honked the fucking horn.
Grimm: When you say "near" the airport...
Bus Driver: .48 miles.
Grimm: Alright. When do we get there?
Bus Driver: 22: 30 hours.
Grimm: When is that? In human time.
Bus Driver: 10: 30.
Grimm: 10: 30. Say you had to walk it...
Bus Driver: With that injured individual?
Grimm: Yes.
Bus Driver: I can't give you a precise figure on that.
Grimm: Come on! Make a guess.
Bus Driver: 21 minutes.

Grimm: I'm sure no harm will come to me once I'm inside the bank all by myself.
Loomis: Now, we're going to find a familiar street soon.
Phyllis: I'd settle for a familiar borough.
Grimm: I was in 'Nam with a jerk like you.
Policeman: Oh boy.
Grimm: Oh sir! You forgot your map! And our millions of dollars!
Bank Guard: What the Hell kind of clown are you?
Grimm: The crying on the inside kind, I guess.
[after Loomis is injured jumping from a moving cab]
Loomis: Are you gonna hit me now?
Grimm: No, but if your leg is broken, we'll have to destroy you.
Phyllis: Great! We'll have to sail a raft to Fiji like Thor Heyerdahl!
Grimm: Button it up, pal. Nobody likes a whiner!
Street Barker: Nude women! Nude women
[Grimm dressed as a clown walks by]
Street Barker: Clowns Welcome! Clowns welcome!
Bank Guard: I said "we're closed," Bozo.
Grimm: [dressed as a clown] : I wouldn't. And that's Mr. Bozo, okay?
[From a shadowy alley]
Flower Lady: Flores! Flores para los muertes! Flores! Para los muertes! Los muertes! Los muertes! Los muertes!
Description
The star of Caddyshack, Ghostbusters and Groundhog Day headlines and co-directs this uproarious Big Apple heist-and-pursuit caper. Bill Murray plays Grimm, a frazzled urbanite who disguises himself as a clown - and sets out to rob a bank. Geena Davis and Randy Quaid play accomplices in Grimm's daring scheme and Jason Robards is the blustery cop caught up in Grimm's "Clown Day Afternoon."

Swiping a million bucks is a snap compared to getting out of town. Grimm and cohorts commandeer a car, a cab, a bus, a baggage tram and a plane (and encounter future stars Stanley Tucci and Tony Shalhoub in hilarious supporting roles) to make what becomes for them a less-than-merry escape. But for comedy lovers, Quick Change is a ticket to ride!

Running Time: 89 min.
