• (Colm Meaney) "I was not. I was massaging my colon."

Anthony Hopkins as Dr. John Harvey Kellogg

• (Anthony Hopkins) "Poult, I believe you've suffered a heart attack."
• (Anthony Hopkins) "Worse, much worse, you're dead, sir. Could you have picked a better place to die, Poult? Instead of out here in the street in front of everybody? Some poster child for biological living you are."

• (Unnamed) "Sir, how often should one evacuate one's bowels?"
• (Anthony Hopkins) "One should never, ever, interrupt one's desire to defecate. I have inquired at the Bronx and London Zoos as to the daily bowel evacuations of primates. It is not once, twice, or three times, sir, but four. At the end of an average day, their cages are filled with a veritable mountain of natural health."
• (Unnamed) "And, sex?"
• (Anthony Hopkins) "Sex is the sewer drain of a healthy body, sir. Any use of the sexual act other than procreation is a waste of vital energy. Wasted seeds are wasted lives."
• (Unnamed) "Uh, eating meat?"
• (Anthony Hopkins) ""He that killeth the ox is as if he slew a man." Each juicy morsel of meat is alive, and swarming with the same filth as found in the carcass of a dead rat. Meat eaters, sir, are drowning in a tide of gore. What is a sausage? A sausage is an indigestible balloon of decayed beef, riddled with tuberculosis. Eat and die. For I have seen many a repentant meat glutton his body full of uric acid and remorse, his soul adrift on the raft in the ocean of poisonous slime, sloshin' against the walls of the body's kitchen."
• (Unnamed) "Smoking?"
• (Anthony Hopkins) "The liver is the only thing standing between the smoker and death. Also certain other things have to be avoided -- like, uh, feather beds, and romantic novels -- and the, uh, touching of one's organs. Masturbation is the silent killer of the night. The vilest sin of self-pollution. It is the sin of Onan."
• (Unnamed) "Uh, Dr. Kellogg, how did you come to invent the corn flake?"
• (Anthony Hopkins) "The corn flake, sir, is just one of my 75 creations for heathy livin', among them peanut butter and the electric blanket."
• (Unnamed) "And what about your imitators? There are 103 other corn flakes presently being manufactured here in Battle Creek."
• (Anthony Hopkins) "Sir, corn is the injuns gift to the new world, and the corn flake is my gift to the entire world."
• (Unnamed) "And what do you think about your brother?"
• (Anthony Hopkins) "My brother, W.K. Kellogg, worked for me as a low-paid assistant for many years. Now he's off on his own and amassin' fortunes with my corn flake invention. Unfortunately, he has chosen the family name to promote it. But the whole world knows only one Kellogg: me, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg. Surgeon, inventor, author, and crusader for biological livin'. I do not seek monetary rewards, for I am called to a greater glory. Here at the Battle Creek Sanitarium, the spirits soar, the mind is educated, and the bowels; -the bowels are born again."

• (Anthony Hopkins) "My own stools, Sir, are gigantic and have no more odor than a hot biscuit."

• (Anthony Hopkins) "An erection is a flagpole on your grave."

• (Anthony Hopkins) "Build up your resolve, not your genitals."

John Cusack as Charles Ossining

• (Ernest O'Reilly) "Mr. Bender says you're to come with me."
• (John Cusack) "Good God boy, where's the cab?"
