Quotes
Security Man: It's a very good system. You know the CIA?
Manny: Yeah.
Security Man: They don't use this system. Uhh, they probably use something a lot better.
Bernard: Sorry, I think there must have been some mistake. I bought popcorn and a drink and now I have no money.
Cinema Attendant: That's how much it costs.
Bernard: What, is it special popcorn? Does it produce some sort of dizzying high?
Bernard: Oh just my usual night out, you know. Went to see an experimental film where nothing happened for two hours. Hung out with a pornographer. Got a job in a burger bar. You know, the usual.
