Quotes:

Sex Machine: So what's your name, darlin'?
Kate Fuller: Kate. What's yours?
Sex Machine: Sex Machine, pleased to meet you.
Seth Gecko: I may be a bastard, but I'm not a f**king bastard.
Seth Gecko: Everybody be cool. YOU - be cool.
Jacob Fuller: I'll be a lap dog of Satan.
Pete Bottoms: Look, he comes in here everyday. We bullshit, and he's used my bathroom about a thousand times. If I said no this time he'd know somethin' was up.
Seth Gecko: Okay, I want him out of here, in his car, and down the road or you can change the name of this place to Benny's World of Blood.

Trivia:

Salma Hayek plays a stripper from hell. Later in Dogma she plays a stripper from heaven.
Tom Savini, who plays Sex Machine, portrayed a Motorcycle Raider in George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead.
The exchange involving Kate's line, "What's in Mexico?" and Richie's response "Mexicans" is from The Wild Bunch.
The dialogue between Kate and Seth while awaiting the final vampire attack ("use 'em on the first couple of these parasites that try to bite you") is virtually word for word from Assault on Precinct 13.
References to previous movies that Quentin Tarantino has been involved with (Pulp Fiction, True Romance, and Reservoir Dogs):
1. Kahuna Burgers (in the hotel room)
2. Red Apple cigarettes (on the dashboard of the Gecko's Cougar)
3. Seth's line to Harvey Keitel : "Okay ramblers, let's get rambling."
