Quotes:

Adrian Dreyfus: It's not working. Something's not right.::Daniel: Maybe it's the fact that they're in an evergreen forest in the middle of winter and it's supposed to be passing as the Congo jungle.::Adrian Dreyfus: No. That's not it.

Rick Steiner: So, do you have a demo reel I can see of your work?::Miles Smith: No, um, but I can get you references.::Rick Steiner: Who?::Miles Smith: [after a pause] Mom and Dad?::Rick Steiner: Hmm. Impressive.

Jake: [as "Jack Derringer," speaking the final lines of the movie within the movie, "Marauders of the Door of Doom"] "You're the most amazing woman I've ever found... in this jungle.

Daniel: Do we get code names? I call Hawkeye.::Miles Smith: Uh, sure.::Daniel: Sweet!::Cynthia: Well, if he gets to be Hawkeye, I wanna be Hot Lips.::Daniel: Umm... no code names.

Adrian Dreyfus: Okay, now also, I want to replace the whole background there with mountains and a smoking volcano. And a couple of birds flying over... and then down in front here, a whole bunch more jungle stuff - jungly - and then a snake, kinda hissing and salivating. What do you think?::Daniel: So you want everything changed.::Adrian Dreyfus: Yeah. Why not? I mean... this sucks.::Daniel: Then why don't we just film this in the studio in front of a green screen? It would be a lot easier.::Adrian Dreyfus: Daniel, if we do that, we lose the natural lighting. We lose the integration.::Daniel: But you're just gonna take out everything they're integrating with in the first place.::Adrian Dreyfus: [pause] What?::Daniel: [Speaking slowly and carefully] It would be much easier if we filmed this in front of a green screen. In a controlled atmosphere we can match the lighting there.::Adrian Dreyfus: Yeah, but then we wouldn't be filming here.

Buster Owens: Come on just... be straight with me, would you? I'm not gonna tell anybody.::Miles Smith: I was, uh... hijacking the movie.

Dorian: We are a genuine puttanesca of talent!

Adrian Dreyfus: Ren, buddy. You seem pretty tense lately.::Ren Fields: Well... it's just that... I think I'm being watched.::Adrian Dreyfus: Okay. By who?::Ren Fields: CIA maybe. Likely the FBI.::Adrian Dreyfus: Maybe aliens!::Ren Fields: Don't be ridiculous!::Adrian Dreyfus: [laughing] Me, ridiculous! Talk about the pot calling the kettle fat!

Miles Smith: I seriously don't think we can make it with this piece of crap.::Daniel: I could see if I could squeeze some more horsepower out of it.::Miles Smith: Would you, please?::Daniel: I'll get started on that right now. I'm sure with the lack of sleep, I'll run a higher risk of soldering my hand to the motherboard.::Miles Smith: That's a risk I'm willing to take.

Buster Owens: You know, I don't think it's even allowed for somebody to get this jaded so soon.::Miles Smith: I came into this jaded. I mean, ever since college life's been one boot to the head after another.::Buster Owens: Yeah, well, I know how that goes.::Miles Smith: So then you understand why we have to do this.::Buster Owens: I think you're crazy.::Miles Smith: Takes one to know one, buddy.::Buster Owens: Come again?::Miles Smith: I looked you up online last night. You were a special brand of retro-crazy.::Buster Owens: Yeah, well, that was when I was young and stupid.
