Memorable quotes from The Return of the Living Dead

"Freddy: [to Tina] Gee... And now you made me hurt myself again! You made me break my hand completely off this time Tina! But I don't care Darlin', because I love you, and you've got to let me EAT YOUR BRAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIINS! WHERE ARE YOU!"
Casey
"Chuck, I never did like you. Oh, but God, hold me tight."
"Freddy: What's the weirdest thing you ever saw in here?"
"Frank: Oh, kid, I have seen weird things come and I have seen weird things go. But the weirdest thing I ever saw just had to cap it all."
"Freddy: Oh, yeah? What's that?"
"Frank: Let me ask you a question, kid. Did you see that movie, Night of the Living Dead?"
"Freddy: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the one where the corpses start eating the people, right? Sure. Wh-what about it?"
"Frank: Did you know that movie was based on a true case?"
