• John Stanton : Get lost.

  K.A.R.R. : I'm a computer. I can't get lost.

• John Stanton : [Driving KARR]  I bet George Lucas drives one of these things.

• John Stanton : [after discovering KARR can talk]  Okay, what is this? A joke? A tape recorder? Is Allen Funt gonna pop up and say, Smile, You're On Candid Camera?

  K.A.R.R. : Who's Allen Funt?

  John Stanton : [Startled]  What is this? You're a car. Cars don't talk!

  K.A.R.R. : Correct. I am not a car -- I'm the Knight Automated Roving Robot, the first in a bold new experiment. You may call me 'KARR.'

• John Stanton : [to K.A.R.R., after dropping off Mandy]  ... Boy, you're really something else. I'd almost hate to give you up, slick.

  K.A.R.R. : [his first line]  Then *don't*.

• John Stanton : [about to drive KARR out of the sand]  I'm gonna drive it into town.

  John Stanton : I'll tell him you're a hitchhiker!

• John Stanton : How was the doctor?

  Eddie : I don't know, I didn't ask him.

  John Stanton : Funny. You gonna live?

  Eddie : [Tapping his chest]  Only my batteries know for sure.

• John Stanton : [John is finishing counting out five thousand dollars out of a brown paper bag for a deposit on Eddie's shop. Eddie watches in disbelief]  Five thousand. Want to count it yourself?

  Eddie : I just did. How long are we gonna carry on this charade?

  John Stanton : What charade?

  Eddie : I get out of the hospital, I come by to pay a few bills and next thing I know you're driving this hot new car and buying me out with twenty dollar bills you got in a shopping bag. I've been around. I've made some fast money myself. Now who's kidding who?

  John Stanton : [Shaking his head]  Take my word for it Eddie - you don't wanna know.

  Eddie : I want to know.

• John Stanton : [Speeding towards a massive truck that's blocking the road]  Oh God, stop!

  [Pushes the brakes but nothing happens] 

  John Stanton : Where are the brakes?

  K.A.R.R. : [Calmly]  Manual override - push Turbo Boost.

  [John pushes Turbo Boost and KARR jumps over the truck] 

• Female Rollerskater : [Seeing John sitting in KARR]  Hey, radical car dude!

  John Stanton : [Flattered]  Radical shorts!
