Speech quirks

Put here for easy reference, in case I forget 90s slang.

John: "Please insert your stolen card now."
Tim: Will you hurry up? This is taking too long.
John: Go baby go baby go baby... All right. PIN number...
Tim: Where'd you learn this stuff from, anyway?
John: From my mom -- my real mom, I mean. Um, withdraw three zero zero... bucks! C'mon baby, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon... yes!
Tim: Hey, it worked.
John: All right. Eaaaasy money. Come on! Yes!
Tim: Yeah!
John: Piece of cake!

John: See, we spent a lot of time in Nicaragua and places like that. For a while there, she was with this crazy ex-Green Beret guy, running guns. And then there were some other guys. She'd shack up with anybody she could learn from so she could teach me how to be this "great military leader." Then she gets busted. It's like, "Sorry kid, your mom's a psycho, didn't you know?" It's like everything I'd been brought up to believe was all made of bullshit. I hated her for that! But everything she said was true. She knew, and nobody believed her. Not even me.

Yellow Shirt Man: You okay, kid?
John: Take a hike, bozo.
YSM: Fuck you, you little dipshit!
John: Dipshit? Did you call moi a dipshit? Grab this guy, I can't believe it...
[T-800 grabs YSM]
John: Now who's the dipshit, you jock douchebag?

John: No, no, no, no. You gotta listen to the way people talk. You don't say "Affirmative," or some shit like that. You say "No problemo." And if someone comes on to you with an attitude you say "Eat me." And if you want to shine them on, it's "Hasta la vista, baby."
T-800: Hasta la vista, baby.
John: Yeah or "Later, dickwad." And if someone gets upset you say, "Chill out"! Or you can do combinations.
T-800: Chill out, dickwad.
John: That's great! See, you're getting it!
T-800: No problemo.

John: We're not gonna make it, are we? People, I mean.
T-800: It's in your nature to destroy yourselves.
John: Yeah. Major drag, huh?

John: See, I grew up on places like this. So I just thought that's how people lived. Riding around in helicopters, learning how to blow shit up. But then when my mom got busted, I got put in a regular school. All the other kids were into Nintendo.
