"Try not to suck any dick on the way through the parking lot!" - Dante
This scene perfectly encapsulates just how fragile the male ego is. Dante and his girlfriend Veronica are having a frank discussion about their sexual history, which is maybe not the best idea ever. They're both totally honest with each other, and while Veronica is mature and accepting about Dante's number of sexual partners, Dante sort of loses his mind over her BJ count. Hey, you wanted to know, buddy. So he explodes in the twin emotions of aggression and insecurity, an oh-so-familiar reaction to this sort of situation. When she storms out, he can't help but yell this barb out the door after her. But the real punchline is the guy loitering outside the convenience store: he hears this comment and begins to walk after her, suddenly optimistic about his chances.
