Okay, I know it's supposed to be stupid, but the trunk?

The cop asks him, for no reason whatsoever, "What's in the trunk?" Why, was it leaking?

Moron Kevin randomly asks if he wants him to check the trunk. Check it for what? A family of illegal immigrants?

I mean, WTF? Who just randomly asks about someone's trunk? When does that EVER happen?

Yeah, it's a dumb movie, and it's supposed to be dumb, but what is it with all this trunk business? Is it code for gay sex? Is it so they can see if there's any junk in the trunk? Do these guys like big butts and they cannot lie? What is it?

I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

the trunk was radiating a lot of heat, maybe even leaking light and god knows what other painful emanations. most of the 'trunk checkers' don't comment on this but it may be reasonably assumed to be the reason.

A lot o' people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch o' unconnected incidents 'n things. They don't realize that there's this, like, lattice o' coincidence that lays on top o' everything. Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you're thinkin' about a car trunk. Suddenly someone'll say, like, trunk, or car trunk, or check the trunk out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

Touche. Or, on second thought, don't touche - it's hot.

Yeah, you got it.

Life is always intense for a repo man.

On my DVD, I hear a warbling sound coming from the trunk as the cop approaches the car. I thought he heard that and thought something was amiss?

If not for the insanely bright blinding and vaporizing light...I'm assuming it would look like sausage in the trunk.
