Lawyer : [ reading from Walt's will ] And I'd like to leave my 1972 Gran Torino to... [ the lawyer pauses and looks up at Ashley, who smiles expectantly ]
Lawyer : ...my friend... Thao Vang Lor. On the condition that you don't chop-top the roof like one of those beaners, don't paint any idiotic flames on it like some white trash hillbilly, and don't put a big, gay spoiler on the rear end like you see on all the other zipperheads' cars. It just looks like hell. If you can refrain from doing any of that... it's yours.

Father Janovich : [ eulogizing Walt ] Walt Kowalski once said to me that I knew nothing about life or death, because I was an over-educated, 27-year-old virgin who held the hand of superstitious old women and promised them eternity. [ the congregation chuckles politely and somberly ]
Father Janovich : Walt definitely had no problem calling it like he saw it. But he was right. I knew really nothing about life or death, until I got to know Walt... and boy, did I learn.
